Kids describe their favorite toy and why it is so special to them.

My favorite toy when I was younger were monster trucks. Ever since I was little, I used to build ramps and push them up the ramp! One time I pushed one of my monster trucks, and it flipped and fell apart! The top fell off, and I was like, “Uh Oh.” That happened with a lot of the monster trucks after that.

I have a race car that my friend gave me. It’s a black car with stripes of red, white and gray on it. It’s a push-back model. The doors of the car open as the car slows down. I feel happy when I see the race car; it’s one of my lucky charms.

My favorite stuff animal is my little kitten. It is so cute. I sleep with it. It is really special because it helps me calm down. Stuffed animals are really special to me. I play with it a lot. It is my favorite toy. When I get upset, it calms me down a lot. It is my favorite toy. It has a bell around it. And when you press on it, it says time to read a story and I read a story to her.

My favorite toy is a wedding Barbie doll that I had when I was little. It is special to me because my mom had it when she was little then my sister had it and then I had it. It is also very special because my mom always played with it when she was little and it never broke, not even a single hair fell off. Sometimes I think it is unbreakable. That is my favorite toy that I had when I was little.

My favorite toy when I was young was Teddy Kiss. She is a toy bear I got when I was 1 month old. I’ve had her for 10 years now. She is special to me because I got her at my old house and would hide her in my backpack and this reminds me of my friends over there. I sleep next to her every night and snuggle with her when I’m sick which makes me feel so much better. As you can see this toy is more than you think of it is my source when I’m upset mad or sick so who cares if you laugh as long as I have this bear. I’m totally fine with you doing that.

I have a blanket from when I was just a little baby. I named it Cuddles. It was pink, green, and white. I loved it so much. I still have it today. I sleep with it every night. My grandma made it for me when I was a little baby. I am going to keep it forever. And I always used it to stay warm when I was a baby. Do you have something special that you still have today? I do and it is named Cuddles.

My favorite toy that I still have is a bear that jingles so when I was 1 year old I named him Jingle Bear or Jingle for short. Jingle Bear was given to me when I was below 8 months old. I love him so much that I have to sleep with him every night because he is very snuggly. Jingle Bear friends are Mr. Cuddles, who is about 6 foot and 4 inches and is very fat and snuggly, so I sleep with him all the time. Sometimes I can’t breathe when I wake up because he is on top of my face! Jingle also has Eggbert as a friend, but he has gone missing, but I remember he was small and cute! There is also Blanket Bear, I have been thinking about a name for him and found that Sandy Shores or Lighthouse is a good match because he reminds me of the ocean. He has no legs or stomach, just arms, head, and a blanket that says “Cute as can” and there is a drawing of a bee on the bottom of the sentence. Blanket bear is cute and cuddly just like the others except Eggbert, Blanket Bear, and Mr. Cuddles are the special ones of all the toys and Jingle Bear is the best and favorite of all the toys! That is my favorite toy and some of my favorite toy’s different friends!

My favorite toy I had when I was younger was a little Yellow Lab I got at Build-a-Bear. I named him Murdock, after my dog. My dog was in a blue bandana at the time, so when I was at the place, I put a blue bandana on the puppy. Its middle name was Buppy, because I was 6 at the time. I love him, and still do.

My special toy is this white panda. It was my first toy ever, and I got it from my big sister, Jennifer. I loved his blue hat and scarf. I would play with him every day! Well, his name, honestly, I can’t remember his name! Because that’s how long I’ve had him! No matter all the times I’ve moved and all the places I have been, I have never, and, will ever get rid of him!!

Even though I am in 6th grade, I still have a blanket that I have had since I was not even one year old. I love my blanket so much – I always use it, but I leave it at home when I go to school. My blanket has Sesame Street characters all over it, so it has a lot of colors. Also, sometimes I still suck on my thumb, like I used to with my blanket. My blanket is special because it is soft, and when I am in a new place, I will feel safe with it. The funny thing about my blanket is that it used to be sheets for a bed, but then I kept using it, and then I just got hooked on it, and I have loved it ever since. Also, when I was a baby, the blanket was so long (because it used to be sheets), that it would drag on the ground, so my mom cut it in half. So now if I lose one half, then I will have a backup. That is one of my favorite toys that I still have now, and why it is so special. What is your favorite toy that you have or had when you were younger?

My special toy that I had when I was little and I still have is my stuffed teddy bear. The color is white, it was torn by the arm but my mom sewed it. I had it like 2 or 3 days after I was born. I was still a little tiny baby. It is old. It does not have the other button eye because it came off. If you came to my house, and into my room, you would of seen it right on the side of my bed. That is my special toy.

My favorite toy is a cheetah named Brownie. I have had her since I was a baby. I feel safe around her because I remember the day I first got and she helped me calm down. The funny thing was that when I was a baby she was even bigger than me. I always sleep with her because she makes me think that she is the only one that knows me the best and I can tell her every thing and won’t feel bad. That’s my favorite toy.

The toy that I have from the past is my gray stuffed animal dog that I have had since I was 1 year old and I still have it. It still sits on my guest bed in my room. I named Gandalf, because of a real dog that passed away when I was 3.

I have something that I had before I was even born. My aunt got me a stuffed animal bunny. I had it always with me. Once I wanted to bring it on vacation, but my parents were afraid it would get ruined. So they got me a different bunny, but I would not take it on vacation. It did not have the same rattle inside it. So I had to sneak my first one. Luckily it did not get dirty. I hope I have this very first toy for as long as I live.

My favorite toy is my airsoft guns. I get to go outside and shoot my brothers with them and spray paint them and target practice with them. That is my favorite toy I will ever have. I like them because they are fun to use on people and on other things. If you have your friends over you can have a airsoft war and play with your friends.
