The great outdoors, I was hardly ever in the house so don't really remember having many 'toys' other than a big pram I used to take my rabbit for a walk in, skipping rope, hoolahoop etc

My dolls and doll accessories, pram etc. I loved my Tiny Tears, even though she was pretty weird looking with an old ladies perm.

When I got to about 5 though I loved the fashion dolls like Sindy and my Pippa dolls and I loved all the fashion outfits and dressing them up.

I still like doing it now with my build a bear and I love the dresses and outfits I can put on here.

I was and always will be a typical girly

my rollerskates, I used to go everywhere in them, broke my heart when I grew out of them

loved them so much that when the kids wanted some I ended up buying myself a pair... not as graceful as I used to be on them, but at least I have plenty of padding to land on now

still good fun though

Roller skates, lived in them.

Was devastated as an adult when I took my son roller skating and I couldn't stand up! Oh for the innocent nerves of steel you have as a child

I used to build those Balsa wood planes that were powered by a rubber band, Fill them up with gunpowder from fireworks then light the fuse and throw..Until one flew into a Neighbours Shed and hit his Homebrew kit which wouldnt have been too bad if he didnt store his Mower and petrol can there as well.

Haha exactly like me! She's forever asking to go out the front with her friends on her bike and I won't let her, she seems far too young at almost 6 (and I don't trust the other kids)

It depends on what it's like where you live to be fair. If there's a green in front of your house and she can stay in view then 30mins would be ok imo.

It comes down to trust o guess, when you have that I imagine that it's easier to make the decision

When I was about 5 it had to be my tippy tumbles doll. Although from the age of 18 mths I used to carry a red plastic egg cup about with me. 40 yrs later I found the eggcup at my foster brothers flat. After I told him the story of it he wrapped it up and gave me it with my birthday present lol.

I live on a street with only 10houses, it's pretty quiet but I'm the end house and how my windows are make it unable to see down the street. I think she's pretty safe but you hear too many stories nowadays

A skipping rope, tennis ball in a pair of my mams old tights, a red Raleigh bike that me and my dad went to collect so I could ride it home but mostly our main source of amusement was my eldest brother and his wacky ideas of things to do that day, also we had a big tree at the back if our house that we spent hours in, I had a great childhood
