Winnie The Pooh Toys

It seems that there are many things in life that repeat themselves. It also seems that time goes so very fast. I am now in the stage in my life where I am a grandmother. Just thinking about this blows me away. I know if sounds cliché but it really does seem like only yesterday that I was in grade school without a care in the world. Now I am not only out of grade school, high school and college, but I have raised my family and am helping them prepare for raising their own. Each day seems to speed by faster. Maybe they go so fast because I realize there are still many things I want to do with my time on earth. When I was a little girl my mother let me help decorate my room. I absolutely love Winnie the pooh toys. This was the theme for my room. Mom had a friend that was an artist. She came and painted a Winnie the pooh mural on my bedroom walls. I loved my room and kept the friendly bear, tiger and donkey mural through high school. When I left for college the mural was painted over to create a home office space for my parents. When my daughter was born Winnie the pooh toys were still popular. I did not have to hire a painter I found a wallpaper border that had the characters on them. I put the border up in my daughter’s room. She had many things to play with as a child, but her favorites were always the Winnie the pooh toys. She loved listening to the story and during that time the cartoons featuring Winnie and his friends were on television. That was her favorite show. While I was working in the kitchen or in another part of the house I always knew when her show came on because she would be quietly sitting in front of the television. Now as she is beginning to raise her family Winnie the pooh is again the decoration and theme of choice. She has bedding and other accessories with the lovable bear on. It seems that the more time passes the more we love the story of the misfits that became friends and had adventures together. The images have changed slightly through the years to keep up with the times, but they are still very similar to the one I had painted on my wall as a child. It is comforting to know that in our ever changing world you can still count of Winnie the pooh and Tiger too.

Historical Quote

The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.

—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
