The I'm New post got me thinking about a favorite childhood toy of mine, Little Kiddles. There were made around 1966 - 1972.
I did a search on e-bay and found a really nice collection of them. The link is below. There is a close up picture that has my childhood favorite - the blond in the lavander dress. I really wish I had saved some of these toys. Even though they would not be in perfect condition, it would be fun to look at them. That is one reason I am planning on saving DD's AGs even if she loses interest. I think one day, far in the future, she might become interested again.


I was always family oriented when I played with my dolls as a child. Today, our AG dolls are usually just girlfriends hanging out, going to school and having sleepovers. Sometime the big 23" MyTwinn serves as the "adult" - either a teacher or a Mom. Alas, there is never a Dad.

When I was a kid, my doll play almost always consisted of:
Barbie was the Mom.
Ken was the Dad (poor Ken- he only had a tuxedo and a swimsuit to wear.)
The Dawn dolls were the older kids (dark haired Angie was my favorite - I thought Angie was such a cool name when I was a girl).
The Little Kiddles were the babies. My favorite Little Kiddle had white/blond hair and a lavender dress. It came in a lavender plastic "locket" and I think it smelled good - like the doll was scented with lilac.

I looked on e-bay for these dolls awhile ago and the pictures on the auctions really brought back some fond memories.
