I interviewed my mother, Laura Morrison, about her favorite toy as a child. She was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1957. Laura’s favorite toy growing up was her tinker toys. She played with Tinkertoys and Lincoln Logs with her younger brother. Her favorite memory of the toys was when she and her younger brother built a miniature farm. She made windmills and wagons and her brother made stables and farm houses out of their Tinkertoys and Lincoln Logs. These toys were very special to her as a child because she loved using her imagination to think of new masterpieces to build.
