Silly Sand
I got this for my birthday when I was about 5 or so. I was so excited to get it. I don't think I ever did learn how to make it work exactly the way it was supposed to but I did make it work some and I had a ball with it. This is one of many, many toys I had that seemed almost magical to me when I was little and because of that, I still get that special feeling inside today when I am reminded of it. Toys were rarely just toys to Bernie and me. Each new one was an amazing, fantasy adventure as far as we were concerned. Our parents always got their money's worth when they bought our toys. We made the most of them and we held onto them for as long as we possibly could. Prince Kit was pretty much the same way when he was a boy. None of us have ever outgrown our love for toys. I think we all missed our calling. We should open a vintage toy shop together. There's just one problem. We'd never make any money because we'd never want to part with any of the cool stuff we found. lol
