Collecting toys has always been my passion. I have always been in loved in various playthings and trinkets. This is probably the reason why I never seem to grow old. I have quite an obsession about toys which any kid would absolutely die for. When my kids are at the right age, I will be more than willing to pass it on to them, and hopefully they will have the same passion as I did with these things.
One of the pieces I am absolutely in love with is the Skyking tricycle. I always had a penchant for old and classic toys which are rarely produced these days. I found an online store who sells replicas, and I knew I would want to have such in my collection. The pink skyking tricycle is now in my daughter’s room. I am looking forward to that day when she is finally big enough to ride it herself. For now it is a great decorative piece in her wonderful pink nursery.
