kids' meal toys

so i mentioned in yesterday's post how my inner kid is going through happy meal toy withdrawls these days ~

since we're not out collecting as we use to & hitting the fast food lunch spots for toys & prizes ~

there was a time when, if i didn't get a toy, i didn't eat ;) ~

we've been eating kids' meals since before my son was even born ~

for all the cool collectible toys ~

& then through my son's childhood we went through every collector phase ~

burger king pokemon trader nights down in socal were a blast ~

the power rangers & lord of the rings crazes ~

& all the great halloween themed happy meals like this one which included vhs tapes! ~

jack in the box casper buckets <3 ~

carl's jr kids treat bags ~

my son's favorite was always wienerschnitzel ever since he was tiny ;) ~

back when they gave out little golden books as prizes :) ~

our fright lights were well used too ~

mcd happy meal mcnugget buddies ~

we loved going to all the good movies ~

& then collecting all the associated prizes ~

as you can see we went a bit overboard at times! ~

but again we have such fun memories associated with our collection ~

i got to relive childhood alongside my son <3 ~

classics ~

giant 'you & me' happy meals for you & your child together :D ~

we kinda miss in & out burgers ~

but we have our own pnw equivelent up here ~

burgerville ~

nature friendly prizes ;) ~

there's also firehouse subs ~

quizno's & boston market ~

we used to go to chicfila, but no longer :( ~

taco bell, jack in the box, dairy queen ~

sonic, wendy's, kfc & little caeser's ~

every place had kids' meals with toys ~

because, right? ~

but i fear the days of kids' meal toys galore may be ending? ~

i'm so glad we rode that wave all through my son's era ~

& saved all our treasures too ;) ~

theme parks had kids' meal collectibles as well ~

looking back i had certain favorites ~

hello kitty & monster high of course ~

i ate my fair share of chicken nuggets that's for sure! ~

& subway sandwiches ~

disney ~

books, audiobooks & cd/roms were always a good score ~

listening library ~

oz & alice ~

including madame alexander dolls ~

so if you've made it through this extra long post you should definitely check out the kids' meal album ~

& kids' meals in the category list in the left sidebar too for so much more :D ~

following up on yesterday's post of the oz themed halloween party ~

a few behind the scenes shots to better show some of the oz wallflower characters ~

glinda the good witch & the witch of the east, you can't see here but she's wearing the classic black & white striped socks & ruby slippers! ~

the wizard! a winky guard & flying monkey ~

i used paper mini party favors from an old favorite, ann venture minis ~

i've posted her stuff at the lost & found before ~

they included teeny tiny tootsie rolls & candy treats ~

masks & hats, plates & decor ~

these articulated decorations took some time, i chose to use needle & thread to hold them together ~

i also used mini graphics i'd gathered over the internet & printed myself ~

fun & games ~

vintage collectibles & wall decor ~

witch's apples to bob for ~

but i must say my favorite prop this time has been the real authentic cobwebs that i kept carefully in place :D ~

alice discovered them around the other mini houses in our playroom <3 ~

like here on the halloween house roof ~

i also added a few new mini jols to the halloween house this year ~

fun updates ~
