Toys - more often than not, the best toys were a cardboard box or a hammer, nails and wood. My kids also loved measuring tapes - strange but true...
Soft toys are childhood friends that don't hurt when you roll on them during the night and are always there when you need something to cuddle. Scary bear keeps the room safe at night - no monsters dare enter while scary bear is standing guard.
PS: scary bear turned in 'Bundy Bear' sometime during the teen years and still stands guard! (For our friends in other places Bundaberg Rum's label and advertising features Bundy Bear...)
Bundy's had a bit of portrait treatment just for fun, with a grunge layer added, wiped away in the middle to show him in his best light :)
