Actually, when I was a child, my family/parents were poor so my parents never bought buy some toys for me. So I didn’t have a favorite toy. However, I made some… When I was a child I picked some old things to play, like kitchen, I made a small kitchen outdoor with my friend. We pretend like adults to cook so sometimes I pretend to baby, my friend pretend to parent like a parent take off a baby cooking some food but that’s all fake.

Today, I saw many children like robots toys and some mind toys. If I had a child, I would like buy mind toys to him or her because I want to help him or her to open their mind. Yes, I think toys should be passed on to other kids. If my kids don’t like it/they, I think I will give it/them to another kids because I think don’t wish anything, that’s my think.

Actually, when I was a child, my family/parents were poor so they never bought some toys for me. So I didn’t have a favorite toy. However, when I was younger, I picked some old things up from the side of the road to play with. I made a small pretend kitchen outside by my front door with my friend. We pretended to be adults and cook, so sometimes I pretended to be a baby and my friend pretended to be my mother who took care of me and cooked some food but that was all fake.

Today/Now, I see many children who like robot toys and some mind toys. If I had a child, I would like to buy mind toys for them because I want to help them to use their mind. Yes, I think toys should be passed on to other kids. If my kids don’t like a toy, I think I will give it to another kid because I don’t want to waste anything, that’s my opinion.
