Ah memories. I have a big stack of toy dinos that I loved to play with. One of which is a BBC Walking With Dinosaurs Iguanadon that I would go into the toy shop just to look at I had wanted it so much. I lost one of them forever when I buried it in the sand at the beach and couldn't find it again. I fed them grass and daisies from the garden.
I had a Thomas the Tank Engine set which I enjoyed, though I can't remember any specific games I played with it.
Soft toys were a big thing, one in particular, which is a 2x1x1 extremely cuddly ram (y'know, a sheep?) named Ram that I got when I was three. I still love him, even though the velevt has worn of his nose, his big curly horns are starting to unstitch and there is all manner of dust and fluff caught in his fleece.
I had a big box of model cats and dogs that would take part in all sorts of things, from rebellions to family feuds to wars. I remember that one of the soap operas they took part in kept running for weeks, going down through the generations. It involved visions and tyranical kingships and alliances and war. Good times.
