This is his Mom’s Popple from the eighties. They were the desired toy of 1987 when Laura was four. Of course, I’d saved it.
Charlie (4) Is enjoying playing with it. Getting some play time a second time around.
The arms and legs tuck up into a front pocket and it looks like a big fuzzycolorful ball. There’s a tail with a furry pompon at the end.
I asked Laura what she called it. “Popple” was her response
I found a commercial for this toy. Not sure how long they were the craze.
Charlie’s having fun throwing it around.
Recycling has always been fashionable for some of us, hasn’t it, Ruth? 🙂 🙂
It has, Jo. It has indeed!
It brings happy memories for you and happiness to Charlie.
Absolutely. He really had fun playing with it.
It is such fun to see grandchildren playing with and giving a second life to their parent’s toys. Also really good for the planet.
Yes there is a satisfying feeling to see them “recycled” in such an endearing way. Thanks Pam.
How adorable… I had no idea of that toy being around but it is very beautiful.
Poppies!! So fun! I was 7 in 1987 and I remember that commercial!
Funny. If we gave that to C, it would be a kickball exclusively. 😀
