Millions of forgotten toys – including Barbie, LEGO and Hot Wheels – are lying stashed in North East homes, according to a new survey.
A study of 2,000 adults revealed they each have an average of 17 toys and play things hidden away, with 67% planning to pass on their old toys to their children or grandchildren. Popular items safely stored include the likes of Rubik’s Cubes, Game Boys, Etch A Sketch, Fisher Price telephones, and Weebles.
More than half of those who have kept their treasured toys since childhood have done so because they hold special memories for them, with 82% believing their children or grandchildren will also get enjoyment from them.
