This morning I nearly knocked Keira over in my excitement to take this off my mum’s hands. It turns out she had given all of our fisher price to someone in our family (now divorced from our family) but after all these years this was returned to her…
sadly this was all that we can expect but oh what memories and keira is just loving it……
its over 25 years old and still works…..they don’t make fisher price like this anymore
there was some confusion that it might be Phoebe’s (my sister) but I put an end to that myth and it will be living at our house!
(oh excuse miss keira’s smudge on the camera…I’ve just realised it after uploading)
Oh, WOW! I grew up with one of these, too! Yet, who knows where it is now. Happy memories for me, too!

ZOMG – you just brought back some great memories for me too
I used to have a train that would drive round in circles and play those albums!
Oh I am so jealous! My cousin’s had one of those when I was a kid and I always wanted it and swore I would get one for my kids who would have thought so many years later they don’t make them any more! LOL
What a great toy for Keira. You are very lucky that it was returned too. I wish they still made toys like that, although some toys from the 70’s and 80’s have been remade on the shelves havent they.
So good. This was my absolute favourite.
lucky girl! they are hard to find. My kids have been playing with all the stuff left at my mum’s house from us!!!!!The aeroplane is the biggest hit and the camper trailer with the little toilet!
Wow Corrie that is fantastic definitely make sure it stays are your place
I am sooo jealous. I don’t know who it was that had one of these….friends of the family maybe…but I wanted one!!!
Hahaha Snap Belinda. Corrie I am jealous too. My friends had one but I never did and have always wanted one! What a treasure!
I too have been re-discovering my childhood playthings – just dug out 2 boxes of dolls etc from our shed, that have been sealed up for years…. just need some time to go through and freshen everything up before I can put them away in miss C’s cupboard. So happy for you that this treasure has been returned to you!
How exciting! My sister owned one of those and it also still works. Your blog is lovely and I’m glad I found it. From reading your blog I’ve now got a great idea what to send you for the fat quarter swap.
What a great thing to be returned. We still have the little FP school desk with blackboard insert , space under for books and the sliding top for pens and chalk. The boy who owned that is 36.
My mum has ours from when we were little and my children play with it when they visit. It is amazing that they all still work so well!
I remember these! I wish you could still get them. What a lucky little girl
oh i use to have one of those too!!!
Omg!! I had one of these when I was a kid. The memories!
oh this is such a cool toy! I think my cousin had one and I loved it.
