Toys are a magical thing for kids of all ages. With love, attention, and imaginative thought toys can become alive. This article agreed with my belief. Toys can not literally become alive but, there being exists in our head, and in our head is where anything is possible.

            “He does not have hind legs, so therefore cannot hop and even if he was made to possess hind legs, he would lack the capacity to act on them and still could not hop. He would need to be physically manipulated by the boy or by Nana” (1). This quote is referring to the Velveteen Rabbit and how the rabbit can not physically move its self but can still be very much alive to the child. A child’s imagination and love of his toys is a powerful thing. I remember back to when I was a kid running around my house with a superman cape on. In my head it actually seemed like I could fly faster than a speeding bullet, or lift a train off the tracks with just one arm. I believed all this because I loved those toys so much that I let them become my reality. Looking back on it now, I realize that they are just plastic toys with paint, but back in the good old days, those toys came alive.

            During my childhood my reasoning for why my toys were able to suddenly become alive was based off curiosity aroused from the Toy Story movies. I truly believed that my toys would come alive and move around when ever I wasn’t watching them. I would try to catch them in the act by suddenly turning around or snapping on the lights in the middle of the night. I never did catch them moving, but I just assumed that they were remarkable at freezing. However this ongoing believe supplemented my beliefs of the toys coming alive when I was playing with them.

             An imagination is a powerful phenomenon that can make your wildest dreams come true. To this day I can still not explain how playing with my toys engulfed me into their world as they became alive. I know they are just plastic, and coming alive is physically impossible, but when signed in to my imagination, the world as we know it had no limits.
