TOY STORY 2 : 3 snakes and no ladder

Here, I am going to present you with  a few more fun toys from my "under the bed" collection.

 1-Three snake cubes, games of manipulation of shapes.

2 - The next one is a cube. It is red and white, then black and white. You can fold it and fold it and fold it and suddenly, see what appears ! Two 3D stars completely independent and separate, green and yellow and red. MAGIC. This wonderful toy is the first I bought nearly 30 years ago. I am very proud of having it. It is my top favourite. It was designed by Naomi Yoshimoto and you can view the demonstration here.

3 - a magnetic puzzle. I cannot brag that I have ever solved it but here it is, looking beautiful !!

4 - 4 small Chinese masks, 8 cms high:

Just stunning ! I think they are for a mini Chinese finger puppet theatre.

I have also acquired a few Noddy bits and pieces :

Two cars and a figurine.

Well if you ask me why I would collect small toys, I'll say, well because I can, because they are well designed , they work and they look gorgeous. Would you agree ?
