If you grew up playing with Fisher Price toys like I did, you’ll be happy (or maybe a bit stunned) to know that most of our favorties have been reissued as “classic vintage” toys for today’s kids. I suppose it’s pretty cool that we can purchase new versions of our old, beloved playthings that hold so many memories. For me, it was the Chatterbox Phone (rotary, of course. How old fashioned!) For my husband it was Retro Two Tune Television (with an actual dial on the set) which he nearly had a stroke over when he saw at Target and promtly bought it for our son…although it was him that played with it once we got home.

Wow, they really do make you feel old….(and I grew up in the 80’s!) Rotary phones and box TV sets (with dials) are just two of the many familiar things to us “old folks” that our kids will never be familiar with- unless they see them in antique shops. Sheesh. So I suppose I’m on the fence about these new classics. Or at least it will take me a while to warm up to the idea.
