Timeless Toys: A Personal journey back to childhood

In this modern age of plastic toys with integrated iPod and Wi-Fi connectivity, there is a part of us all that cries out for a simpler time. Toys didn't used to need a user manual to set them up, or regular updates from the manufacturer to work properly. Toys were just fun; good, old-fashioned fun.

I remember spending long train rides as a child being mystified by the small spinning top that my mother kept in her handbag for such occasions. I still even carry a Yo Yo in my work bag as I find the simple act of playing with one therapeutic. It is these traditional children's toys, available from UKToysandGames, that the modern child is missing from their lives.

To dive back in to another moment of self-indulgence, this past Christmas, my 8 year-old nephew was given as a stocking filler, an old-fashioned Wooden Yo Yo. Whilst pleased with the toy, he was obviously mystified by its operation, staring angrily as it bobbed at the bottom of the string, not returning as promised, to his hand. I grasped this as an opportunity to gain some cool-points with said youngster, and politely offered to give him some tips and tricks in how to use his new gift. Within a few minutes of me ‘Walking the Dog' and ‘Rocking the Cradle', and nephew was gazing in absolute wonder at the previously inactive Yo-Yo. Since then, every time I have seen the lad, he has been more than keen to show me the latest trick he has learnt, and all his friends want to try them too! (Note: his skill has now surpassed my own, and I now have to learn the tricks from him).

The range of great wooden toys available is not limited however to Yo-Yos and Spinning Tops. There are a massive range of Wooden Toys available from UKToysandGames, from Childs Baking Sets, to Xylophones, Push-Along Trucks, Train, Tractors and Lorries and Wooden Birds and Animals which are great for brightening up a bedroom or nursery.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2 Disc Special Edition) [1968] [DVD]

£4.97

This remastered, pan-and-scan 30th-anniversary edition of that kiddie-car caper is flawed, but nevertheless a solid family fare. It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs--including the title tune--are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world...

Toy Story 2 [VHS] [2000]

£2.98

John Lasseter and his gang of high-tech creators at Pixar create another entertainment for the ages. Like the handful of other great movie sequels, Toy Story 2 comments on why the first one was so wonderful while finding a fresh angle worthy of a new film. The craze of toy collecting becomes the focus here, as we find out Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is not only a beloved toy to Andy but also a rar...

Simbas Pride [VHS]

£4.98

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is another made-for-video sequel to a Disney masterpiece. As with the Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas sequels, most of the recognisable vocal talents return, creating a worthwhile successor to the highest-grossing animated film ever. We pick up the story as the lion king, Simba (voiced by Matthew Broderick) and Nala (Moira Kelly) have a new baby cub, a girl name...

Pocahontas (1995) (Disney) [VHS]

£4.44

The lowest point in Disney's opportunistic revisionism of source stories for its animated features in the 1990s, Pocahontas presents the title character (voiced by Irene Bedard) as a voluptuous Indian babe who falls for the British plunderer Captain John Smith (Mel Gibson). Half-baked if trendy paganism abounds in the film's depiction of nature as possessing consciousness (though talking trees cer...
