vintage bath toys
My mom saves everything. EVERYTHING. She has a whole box of baby clothes (mostly mine, which wouldn’t be great for a little boy), and little blankets and things that my grandma made. Among which she found our Fisher Price bath toys. Which as it turns out are a huge hit even on the rug in the living room.
Dashiell doesn’t have room for toys in his bath at the moment, since he bathes in a big bucket. But we’re getting close to moving on to the real bath and then I’m sure these will excellent entertainment.
Do you know what’s even better about these? They were made in the US in 1974 (which is curious since I was born 4 years later) and they’re not the scary kind of plastic that everything is made of today. And, as part of our greener home mission, it’s always good to reuse instead of buy new.
Here comes the giant baby, capsizing his little boats and torturing the captain.
Delicious, as always.
Oh I used to adore Fisher Price toys. Do you remember "Play People?" They were a favorite of ours as kids. Your baby sure is cute!
Dude – I had that tugboat guy! Instant nostalgia. Mine are probably tucked away somewhere too.
I loooove this! When I take my daughter to my mom's house, she always pulls out my old toys — and these little people are her favorites! They fit into a house with a doorbell.
I had that tugboat situation, too! Oh man, I kind of miss those things.
Too. Stinkin. Cute.
my brother had that boat – so many fisher price memories!
those are great! i wish my mom had saved something, anything! i'm trying to save things for Lily.
HIS CURL!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!
so awesome!!
The are lovely. Colours so nice too. Great to see your own toys being used again. My mum has toys and books from when my sister and I were small. Our children love to play with them whe we visit her.
I’m pretty sure I had this when I was little. I recognize the little man and his hat. Fisher Price really is great at creating timeless toys.
Your little man is adorable too! I second Taylor’s comment “HIS CURL!!!!! WOW!!!”
