It's sooo hard to find a print suitable for a little boy who isn't into cars or dinosaurs!! I would love to use this fabric and make a messenger bag to put under the tree for my nephew!
One of my favorite toys was polly pockets - when they were mini-sized.
My favorite childhood toy would have to be the rag doll made for me by my grandma. Sweet memories! Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite was molding dough, before playdoh was introduced.
I loved my barbies! I Spent my time changing and making their clothes. -Sharon M

I had this gross old stuffed Pillsbury Doughboy that was my dad's when he was little. I carried that thing around everywhere until he got threadbare and bits of stuffing fell out of his tiny little legs.
My favorite toy was a Snoopy that had clothes to dress him in - surgical scrubs, Santa suit, etc. (practical outfits).
I had a transformer dinosaur that Santa gave me. I loved it, but I couldn't transform it! :D
My favorite was my Barbie RV camper with a sliding side door. That was a cool ride for Barbie, Skipper, and Ken :)
My favorite toy as a child was Lite Brite!
My favorite toy was named Herman...and Herman was a sock monkey!!! I LOVE this fabric!!!
My favorite toy as a child was a simple one. A handmade bunny in a blue dress made for me by my grandmother. Her name was "bunny" and i imagined her as a gymnast. I had her up until i was about 19 years old when i lost her in a fire. Even as a young adult I loved her just the same.
I loved my cabbage patch kid. Lynnea Francoise. She had VIOLET eyes, which was so awesome. :)
My favorite toy was definitely my Cabbage Patch. :D Hard to go wrong there!
I broke my leg when I was two, and my parents got me a glo-bee (like a glo-worm, only it's a BEE). He was, and is, awesome. My daughter sleeps with him now.
I had a Milky the Moo cow from my Grandparents that I just loved! I could milk her and make her drink water from a trough. :o)
My favorite toy when I was little was given to me by my Grandma. It was a rollerskating monkey that had cymbals it banged together. I LOVED that thing. Go figure it 'disapperared' when we moved to our new house.:o)
I had a stuffed pink dog with floppy black ears. It sat on its bottom and its front paws were sewn together so that I could slip it onto my wrist and it would be hugging me as I hugged it. 30 years later and I still have it! Love it :)
I slept every night with my Snoopy dog and squeezed his neck so tight that I eventually rubbed off the fur!
Thanks for the adorable fabric giveaway!
My favorite toy as a child was a f&p little ride on horse. I will turn 32 this coming year and I still have it!
My favorite toy was the etch a sketch!
My grandma gave me my "panda" when I was about 9 months old, 25 years later he is well loved and has attended his share of teddy bear picnics, I still have him to this day, cozy in a drawer of my bedroom... I don't think I'll ever part with him!
There are too many!! I'm going to go with Polly Pockets though - so fun!!
I loved a stuffed lamb named "Lambie." My older brothers loved to torture me by using their Boy Scout knot skills to fashion a noose and hang him. Fortunately, I've since recovered. :)
I think vintage weeble people (spelling?) from Fisher Price were my favorite childhood toy. And now my son is playing with my old toys! It brings back so many great memories.
I had a stuffed dog that I slept with til I was 19. I loved that toy. :)
I had a favorite monkey too - the kind with the bare bottom! He didn't have a name, but I slept with him every night.
My Cabbage Patch Kids were my pride and joy. :)'
My favorite toy was a teddy bear named Cuddles who my Nana had given me
My favorite toy was the set of lego blocks I owned, I loved creating my dream houses complete with lawns and lots of flowers!
My favorite toy was my first baby doll named Kayla. She went everywhere with me. I even gave her frenkles (freckles)to match mine.
My favorite toy was one my mom made... a cabbage patch doll that looked like me! It was so awesome! I still have it.
My favorite was an original Barbie, the black ponytail and the black striped swimming suit! It's how I learned to sew and knit! And I still have it.

My favorites were the Little People (we had the house).
My favorite toy was my Cabbage Patch doll that I had red hair, named "Candy"
My favourite toy was a stuffed Wile E Coyote. I took it with me when I was about 6 to go visit my aunt in California. It kept setting off the metal detectors at the airport. Luckily this was before 9/11. No one could figure out what was going on and I was a bit scared. I still have him and I'm 41 now.
I did have a sock monkey but my favorite things were all my Barbies. When I was old enough I created my own patterns and made my Barbie dolls clothing. Back then the fabric stores would give my Mom the old pattern books and in the back of them they used to have largish drawings of the pattern pieces from each of the patterns in the book. I figured out that almost all of those drawings were the perfect size for Barbie so I had an endless supply of free patterns to use to create my own clothes for them.
I think almost every kid in my area had a sock monkey because the company that created them was the next town (Rockford, IL) from where I grew up. Even now though I just love Sock Monkeys and during a local quilt shop hop last month I ran across the Sock Monkey Santa fabrics and bought some of the fat quarters. They are just too cute. I'd love to win this fabric to make something for my Grandchildren.
Samantha, an American Girl doll and a large stuffed Orca.
one of my favorite childhood toys was a doll my mom made me
My favorite toys were cabbage patch kids and my little ponies.
Angel was a soft "Dreamcicles" doll purchased for me by my grandmother. She never left my side.
My favorite was one of those kissing barbies. My younger sister was so nice to give her lipstick with a black permenant marker.
I'm going to be showing my age with this comment but here goes: One of my favorite toys when I was little was my Holly Hobby doll! I loved Holly Hobby and I even had the Holly Hobby matching sheets and bedspread! My other favorite toy that I recall (and again, I am dating myself with this comment, lol) was a small but real, working record player! It was in a portable cardboard-like suitcase type box, the lid flipped open and you put your records on the turntable. I wish I still had it! =)

I have to say one of my favorite toys was a cabbage patch!! I am pregnant with my 3rd (first girl) and we were name debating and my grandmother even mentioned one of the names from a cabbage patch we have named :) Now, we are doing here room in Sock monkeys and sock elephants and sock giraffs!! This fabric would be great in there!!!
I loved my pink panther! He was my best friend for years, and he was huge and adorable!
Perfect for little pjs or a blanket! I love this print!
my favorite toy was my puffalump....slept with it for soooo long!!
I had a Madame Alexander baby doll I named Teddy. How I loved him!
My favorite toy was my koala bear, who still lives with us (though he no longer occupies the place of honor on my pillow).
I had a stuffed bear that my grandma gave me when I was 6, and I loved him. He was pretty ordinary to look at, but he was so special to me. My daughter has him now, and seeing her play with him brings back memories of my grandma.
I was always a bit of a nerd so my favorite toy was actually a book. One snowy day. I read it over and over again but somehow, now all I remember about it is the illustrations. I guess that shows how impactful prints can be!
I had this awesome princess doll that came with these little Velcro jewels that stuck to her hair and dress. Thinking back on it now it was kind of weird because the jewels were in this little contraption that was reminiscent of a staple gun and that's how you attached the jewels. Luckily that behavior didn't translate!
My favorite toy was a doll named Mary that had belonged to my older sister. All her hair was cut off so Mom painted hair on and she was missing a leg. But I loved her more than all of my other dolls.
I had a pound puppy and my six year old self used some very interesting sewing skills to make it a nappy! It still wears that nappy and lives on the shelf in my daughter's room. I still love it!
One of my favorite childhood toys was my cabbage patch kid. I love that my daughter plays with her now.
My favourite childhood toy was a red polka dot pram that I played with for hours on end. My brother played with me with his beat up old pram! My parents gave it to me for my birthday, I woke u to find it in my room and I was overjoyed.
I never really had a favorite toy.. my Samantha American Girl doll was up there though.. I was fairly obsessed but never brought her anywhere... I was too scared to get her dirty!
My favorite toy was a stuffed dog named Smudge. His fur is all missing and his ear and an eye. His nose and mouth are drawn on with a marker. I still have him. :)
My beloved baby doll, Sara. She was a little black baby doll, with a cloth body and plastic head, hands, and backside. I cut a hole in her mouth so she could suck on a bottle and on her thumb. I remember having lots of love for that little baby.
I loved my little lawn mower that blew bubbles. I used to chase my dad around with it while he mowed.
Mine was a castle that little people lived in. I remember that it even had a drawbridge.
I have shared the giveaway on Facebook.

One of my favorite toys were actually a set of Alvin and the Chipmunks stuffed toys...I know I still have them in the garage...somewhere....
