I loved Strawberry Shortcake when I was little!
Well in fact I loved all cartoon characters...Smurfs, Care Bears, Garfield, Bugs Bunny, Flintstones..
However in the early 80s there were no television shows of Strawberry Shortcake...just the mass marketed toys...which I adored!
I have kept all "character" type toys completely away from her until last week that is....when she discovered Strawberry Shortcake on this vintage cup of mine.
So being that she doesn't watch TV...I didn't see the harm in buying her a few books and the little dolls. YES they are plastic....but it's the only toys that she has that are plastic ...the ONLY!
And when she plays with them...she makes up her own stories....using her imagination...incorporating whatever is around her in her play. Today while I was getting dressed she played with them for a solid hour with two rolls of toilet paper! Making them a dungeon for the dolls.
And when we made the shrinks dinks she played with them...making stories up about each one...using different voices.
So this hippie is just fine with these little plastic dolls!
