What is your favorite toy ever?

When I was 5, I had a remote-control robot. It was my favorite because it could carry my stuff while I controlled it. It was special because it was a gift from Santa.

My favorite toy was my Barbie Princess Dollhouse. I asked for it for Christmas when I was 2. It had a working elevator and sounds. I kept it for a really long time until it broke.

My favorite toy is my barking dog. It is my favorite because I got it at Universal Studios. I wouldn't go home until I had something to remember my day at Universal.

My favorite toy will have to be my Nintendo DS Lite because even though I got it this year I have a lot of games for it. I also take it on long trips so I won't get bored. It is really fun playing the Mario games or Metroid Prime. You can never get tired of this toy because people are always coming up with new games.

It is a Tinker Bell doll. It came with a toy pond and lots and lots of clothes. You can fill the toy pond with water and put her in. If you press the tiny button on her she will fly.

Last Christmas, under the tree, I saw a big box. I opened it and discovered it was the computer I wanted. I had the biggest smile on my face.
