I love it when toys get all old school. There’s something touching about sharing the same toys you played with as a kid with your offspring. One of my favorite toys as a child? My Little People barn set. I took it everywhere. Elizabeth recently blogged about how the Little People are celebrating their 50th birthday with new releases of some of their classic sets, the Play 'n Go Farm, Play 'n Go School House, Play 'n Go Fire Station and Play 'n Go Home. Were we excited to hear that news? Oh yes.
We recently got our toy hungry hands on a couple of the sets, the Play ‘n Go Farm and the Play ‘n Go School House. Just one touch to the plastic handles and a flood of nostalgic memories came rushing forward. I was three again, playing with the simple cog like characters right along with my own three year old. Not an exact replica, there have been some changes to the set. The Little People are back to being limbless and they have grown and are larger than their previous incarnation. But the carry all cases are pert near the same size and aesthetic as the originals, with the addition of some shiny tin fronts. The handles, the roofs and the footprint are all the same. To relive your own childhood memories and to make new ones for your own kids you can pick up the directly from Fisher Price here. Little People 50th Birthday Play ‘n Go School for Play n’ Go Farm - each go for $18 here.
