My first toy was a little fox… I was only few weeks old and hence too young to give my fox a name when I received it, so he continues to be called Fox today. But he is still there and has a lot of meaning to me. Fox triggers a feeling of home, security, cuddles and joy. Aspects everyone should be able to feel. Thanks for the initial post, Martin! And thanks for actively contributing to #MyFavouriteToy.

Growing up, #MyFavouriteToy was my Teddy Bear "Theore" (my 3-year-old pronunciation of "Theodore"). Theore came everywhere with me, he was my companion, and my mother even knitted a custom set of overalls for him. I still have Theore, and he has survived six international moves. He might be showing his age a little with some frayed edges, but he’s all the more a treasured friend. @Spin Master's initiative the Toy Movement aims to provide toys, including stuffed friends, to displaced children around the world. It’s so important to give these children the joy, inspiration, and even companionship they deserve, regardless of circumstances. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, we want to share the message that all children deserve the opportunity to play, learn and grow. For every share I receive on this post, one toy will be donated towards The Toy Movement. Learn more here: thetoymovement.org.

Thank you for sharing your story, Martin. It's amazing how childhood toys can carry such deep emotional connections throughout our lives. We'd love to hear more about the memories you created with Fox. What other toys from your childhood bring back similar feelings?
