Vintage wind up toy, wooden ponies and other classics, they all make wonderfully charming gifts for the tiny cuties in our lives. In today’s world it can be difficult to find those classics that we loved as children. Now days nothing is made the way it used to be it seems and I used to just accept that as a sign of the times.

However, as my daughter grew into a preschooler she began to really show an interest in ponies and older toy items. When we bought our new home she really wanted a room that showcased wooden ponies, the quilt her grandmother gave her and her favorite rocking chair that her grandpa made for her just before he passed away.

If you are a mom who loves the classics or you simply have a child that longs for toys of past read on. I have found some really great pieces that I think both you and your little someone will enjoy.

How cute is this vintage wind up toy? You know I remember buying this elaborate robot dinosaur for my son, Elijah. He begged for the thing I mean really just ate, slept and breathed dreaming for this dinosaur. When we bought it he played with it one time and the dino sat in his closet the next day. It has been there ever since.

I had a vintage wind up toy in my hope chest. I found it when I was cleaning out my bedroom the other day. My son found it, ran off with it and has not put it down since. Just goes to show you that newer isn’t always better and that classics really do last forever.

Surprise Sock Monkey

Just as adorable as a vintage wind up toy, this sock monkey from Anthropolgie offers kids a pleasant surprise. In six different variations – you never know which adorable snuggly you will receive. Best of all, the proceeds benefit those with personal and developmental special needs. It’s a win-win!

Wooden Horse

No one does vintage like Pottery Barn and wouldn’t this delightful little steed look adorable in the corner of your child’s favorite space? It really brings a little old world charm to any nook of the house and you are sure to find that your child will get plenty of imagination time from this buy! My daughter has one of these in the corner of her room and I tell you she has dressed it up in boas, wigs and sheets more times than I could even count on my fingers! But the one thing that she doesn’t ever tire of this toy in fact what she does is leave it for a day or two then comes back to it again and plays with it like it is the first time she has seen it.  I am hoping since she loves it so much is that one day when she does tire of it I will store it in the attic and to keep it to one side until she brings her own children over to stay and they will be the ones that will get years of enjoyment out of it too!

When it comes to vintage toys and classics such as the metal vintage wind up toy and beloved toy wooden horse, or even the much loved antique train sets and vintage toy cars it isn’t as hard as you might think to find those seemingly impossible finds of collectible toys. With a little searching and imagination you can build your vintage toy collection with favorite wind up toys from days gone by.
