Last week, my daughter asks me to buy her cars stickers, so I went to market to buy for her. However, I couldn’t find pretty stickers for her. Then I decided to buy her coloring book. At the mean time I found this paper dolls book.
Last time when I was a little girl, I used to buy this paper dolls at the grocery shop (chai tiam mah) at 10 cents per piece. It is very cheap compare to now Rm3.50, but of course the quality is different. Nowadays, it comes with a book. Just like coloring book. At first I thought is a coloring book, but when I flip its surprise me, because since a long time I didn’t see this paper dolls. I want to share my childhood toys with my daughter. I told her last time her mommy play with this. I am not so fortunate like her to have so many toys and this is one of them. During my childhood I always play seven stones (7 liap buah), cooking utensils ( masak-masak ), paper dolls and catch fish near the river. He he he…run around the “kampung” and play with sand. Use Milo tin cover to cook leaves and Hibiscus flower petals, it will have sticky fluid after you cook it. Now, I don’t think kids have chance to play with all this stuff. Only those who live in the village will have chance to play, but I think maybe they will not interested anymore. Because now got Nintendo, play station, Lego, Barbie and etc.
So, what did you play during your childhood?
