We all remember the days when our best friends were our toys and we could go on for hours playing with them. While there are toys that are known to particular generation (like: Hello Kitty); there are toys that not just us but even our parents and grandparents may have played with. We bring you 5 toys that not just you may have played with but were part of your grandparent’s toys collection as well.
