Tupperware Toys Pick-em-up truck



This vintage little truck has a foam roller on the bottom that picks up blocks. The original blocks were not with it, but I found these perfect little tiny wooden blocks at Michaels. The truck picks them up just great. This toy has been lots of fun for my 2 year old son. My older brothers remember having this toy and they said they remember pretending to bale hay.

Fisher Price Play Family Farm



I am sure almost anyone over 20 remembers this. The door still MOOs when it opens. It is in perfect condition. It seriously looks like it is brand new. I have lots of fun memories of this barn, and was SO excited to find it.

Fisher Price Humpty Dumpty

This cute little Fisher Price Humpty Dumpty is only missing one thing, the pull string. It should have a string that ties to his bow-tie. When you push him (or pull him along) his arms spin in circles. I definitely remember this toy, and it makes a great little decoration for my son's room.

Vintage fisher price cupcakes, cookies, & ice cream

I just love these vintage cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream scoops. My husband had these when he was little and my little boy loves playing with them at grandma's house. (She still has a whole set)! I was really excited to find this many! They really are a fun toy.

Fisher Price School Days Desk




I was super excited to find this Retro Fisher-Price Toys school days desk. I played with one just like this as a child. Made from durable plastic, this play desk features an attached carry handle for easy portability. A steel magnetic chalkboard with sliding doors above that reveal a storage compartment for the magnetic letters. It is missing the magnetic letters, but maybe one day I will find some. It still has 12 learning cards, and the tray to hold the letters.

Fisher Price flower rattle

This vintage Fisher Price flower rattle has a green and white striped handle that has a red ball on the end. The center of the flower has a smiling baby face with wiggly eyes on one side, and a round mirror in the center of the other side. I was surprised to find it in such great condition.

Fisher Price/Sesame Street music box

I was super excited to find this vintage wind up music box. I had one similar to it as a child. When I bought it, it had a broken knob, and did not work. I figured for three dollars, it was worth a try. I opened it up (which wasn't easy) and put the knob back in place. It now WORKS!! My 2 year old son says "movie, movie!"

Dick & Jane book and more



My older sisters taught me to read when I was four while playing school. The book was Dick and Jane. Since then, I have always loved those books. Here are some old books that belonged to my husband's grandmother and her brother. I was especially excited about the Dick and Jane book. I put it on an easel in my son's room, and stacked the other four on a shelf.
How old are they? Dick and Jane 1930

old wooden blocks

I loved playing with these blocks as a child. My family has had these for years. This set of blocks lasted through all eight of us, plus lots of grandkids. As children, my sister and I would stack them in a corner and pile them as high as we could reach. My son's name is Radley, so I decided to take these three letters from what is left of the collection. I put them on a shelf in his room and put the willowtree figurine on top.  I am afterall the youngest, so I figured three of them could still be mine. :)    
Where did I find them? My parents house (shhhh......)

bus


My 2- year- old son found this school bus and fell in love immediately. The eyes move when he pushes it and the bus driver's head moves back and forth. It also makes a fun clickety-clack noise. Now, I just need to find him some little people to put in the little seat holes. :) It originally had a pull string at the bottom.
