Toyland, Toystory, TOYS!

With the theme of the Imagine That classes being about a toymaker who makes toys in the toy shop, the kiddos got dressed up in toy-themed clothes, some little tykes even wearing special underwear - it was cute beyond words.

There's some proud looking little people here!

Our little song we sang when we knocked on the door of the Toy Maker:

Toy Shop, Toy Shop, Let's make believe now.

Toy Shop, Toy Shop, Let's make believe.

It got me to thinking of my favorite toys as a child (and how few there were compared to what my kids had), then to the great movie, Toy Story, and then the old song, Toy Land, popped into my head. I wonder, how many of you have heard of this golden oldie, recorded by Doris Day back in 1941?

Toy land, toy land

Little girl and boy land

While you dwell within it

You are ever happy there

Childhood's joy land

Mistic merry toy land

Once you pass its borders

You can ne'er return again

When you've grown up my dears

And are as old as I

You'll laugh and ponder on the years

That roll so swiftly by my dears

That so swiftly by

Childhood's joy land

Mistic merry toy land

Once you pass it's borders

You can ne'er return again
