For children their toys can be their heroes , I am not talking about the toys role within play. But who can it shape and guide their very lives from emotional solace to offering up hope. It is belief in our toys that can see us through some very dark times. As soon as a child is born many a teddy is thrust about them , they soon sort out which is their favourite and other others are merely guest at the imaginary tea parties they may hold!
For my own son it was his toy rabbit called "Bow tie bunny " that was his favourite who arrived one Easter Morning to guide him on an Easter Egg hunt around our house. It was the very same bunny he took on holiday with us to Center parcs with a label around his Neck * Paddington Bear style * just in case he or more likely I lost it! And again it was the money who helped him through his endless trips to hospital for his operations for glue ear and his countless blood tests and other medical traumas!
What's your childs toy hero ?
