My top 5 toys.

This is from Kate's blog (katetakes5).  Basically, its a list of your top 5 (or your childrens top 5) toys of all time.  She is then going to compile them into the top 10 toys as voted by parent bloggers.
So this is mine (well mini faithful's list of toys)

1. Happyland

At the moment in the faithful household, these are our absolute favourite toys.  We currently like to place all the people in the caravan, drive the caravan round the room, then move them all into different parts of the windmill farm.  We also make note of the different people ("girl, mummy" "solider") their colours ("orange" - one with orange hair, "purple" - one in purple dress) and what they are doing ("walking" "dinner time") etc.  It is the first thing she plays with in the morning.

2. Books
We spend most of the day reading books, we have two bookcases full and then some usually scattered across the floor.  It has got to the stage that I know most of the words to Tabby McTat, any from a large number of Topsy and Tim, We are going on a bear hunt and Time to Rhyme.  Not that I have a problem with this, Im very happy that she is turning into a bookworm like her mum, but I wish we had more variety, particularly when it comes to bedtime books.  Having said this, they are always on our lists for christmas and birthdays.

3. Dolls and anything related to dolls.

This is a fairly new one, but boy are we now obsessed.  We see a doll's buggy, and no matter who's it is and whether they are playing with it or not we have to have it and play with it NOW.  The other day I caught her putting a dolly on a chair and ramming banana in her mouth.  We also have to 'bath' them and let them watch 'beebies' (on their own chair, usually the one I was trying to sit in).  Although it is a new obsession I have no doubt that its going to be around for a while (much to Daddy Faithful's disgust).

4. Dressing up

This is something she has been doing since she was quite small.  As soon as she could roll (yes before crawling) she would roll to a pile of washing and play with it all.  Her favourites at that time were socks and ties.  Currently its hats, bags, and scarfs.  We recently got her a cycle helmet fitted, she wouldnt take it off, the guy fitting it was amazed, apparently no other child wants to put one on let alone not take it back off.  We also have 'discussions' when we go out about the lack of hat.  We have to wear a sun hat, even when its raining.  Although she does also accept wooly hats.  We have a huge basket full of dressing up clothes (mainly funny hats, and bags, but also outfits and scarfs) also doesnt stop there, she will dress up the dog too.  

5. Bricks

We like to stack them, sort them into colours, make them into musical instruments, place them into bags etc.  We talk about their colours and shapes and count them.  They may seem boring to you and me, but to mini faithful they are great, they also are not too bad on mine and daddy faithful's wallet. So everyone is happy.

So thats what mini faithful enjoys playing with, what about you? Have a think, make a list and link it up to Kate's list and then find out what the final top ten is...
