Toys

Today we went shopping for a birthday present for Christian's little niece, Johanne who turns 5 years old tomorrow...
It has been a while since we have bought toys for little girls, and I used to be pretty much up to date on girls' toys and boys' stuff too. But I must admit that these days I'm some what out of date concerning this topic....
But once.......
I remember having this wonderful shop called CURIOSA as one of my favourites when Emil was younger.

They had these adorable waddling lady birds which Emil used to pull in a string behind him - back and forward again and again....

When he grew older, he found great pleasure and joy in this wonderful trajectory - but he was definitely not the only one in the family who loved to play with this!!!
I often thought about buying him a hat like this, but never got around to it. (Maybe it's for girls I can't help thinking now?!) The hat reminded me so much of Richard Scarry's caracter, Ole Orm.
Once I even bought myself a little something - I just couldn't resist the white dog with red dots.....

Well, that was just a trip down memory's lane caused by a birthday present.....

  1. Ja, det er godt nok fine ting! Det er helt besættende, når man først kommer i gang med at kigge efter fint legetøj på nettet - der er virkelig nogle gode butikker.
    Klodsmajor.dk er en af dem, jeg er rigtig glad for - den kan også anbefales! :)

  2. Tillykke med din datters flotte resultat. Det var utrolig flot!

    Han er godt nok sød - ham Ole Orm, og jeg kan godt forstå, at du ikke kan stå for de hunde ;-) De er da herlige.

    Jeg var også en tur tilbage i tiden i går aftes - Vi sad og kiggede billeder - for 8 år siden, hvor Jørgen gravede ud, så vi kunne få dør/vindue i kælderen ud til haven, og der var så mange billeder af Søren, da han var 1½ år - tullende rundt i haven efter sin far - Han var så rund og ikke ret meget hår... Vores egen lille bowlingekugle ;-)

  3. Loved this post! My husband and I are really kids in adult bodies and we probably like to spend more time at toy stores than our two year old :)

  4. Ja, nettet er virkelig en guldgrube hvad angår legetøj, Astrid - og for den sags skyld også børnetøj...

    Jeg må hellere kigge nærmere på butikken du nævner....der kommer vel snart en børnefødselsdag igen ;0)

    ................

    1000 tak, Gitte. :0)
    Det er bare rigtig dejligt for Anne-Sophie. (Hun var oppe i dansk i fredags og fik sulme 12 én gang til! Hun er bare SÅ glad.)
    Nu gælder det fysik!!! Hun hader fysik...

    Jeg elsker Ole Orm og hvor har jeg læst de bøger mange gange - både for vores egne børn og for dem jeg har passet i børnehaverne.

    Det er så hyggeligt at kigge billeder og leve sig tilbage i tiden. Jeres Søren lyder helt som Anne-Sophie i samme alder: rund og ikke meget hår ;0)

    I'm happy that you liked it, Christine :0) I must admit that I'm a bit childish myself ;0) I hope I never grow out of it!!

    There are so many fantastic things in the world of toys...so many things!!
