Wind Up Toys
Sunday morning. Breakfast at Joan’s. A cadre of colorful windup toys in her kitchen… I asked if I could photograph them. I can’t remember a specific windup toy I had as a child but these all felt familiar and provided a relaxing and fun time as she wound them up and they executed their motion while I tried to photograph them.
Guess they are making a big comeback. I am going to get some for me the grandkids so I they can play with these adorable windup toys.
Yeah. It’a all fun and games until Dad steps on one on his way to getting a late night snack.

Those are great pictures. They do bring back memories to a simpler time. Boy, don’t I sound old.

These were always a big hit @ our house. Did not know they were making a comeback.

Lovely and so colourful. I used to have a few wind-ups as a kid. I didn’t know they mad anything without batteries these days.
I must have a look for a couple for my little grandson.

The drumming bear is a classic. As a kid, we had little ‘monster’ type wind-ups that ran all over the place. I still remember the ‘whirring’ sound they made…
