Sample answer to describe a toy that you often played with as a child

Oh, one toy I used to play with all the time as a kid was Lego. It was, without a doubt, my favorite! I think I first got it as a birthday gift from my parents when I turned seven. I still remember the moment I unwrapped the box—my excitement was through the roof! If I hadn’t received it then, I might have ended up missing out on so much creativity during my childhood.

With my Lego set, I would spend hours building all sorts of things—castles, spaceships, and even cars. Sometimes, I’d follow the instructions that came with the set, but more often than not, I’d go off the beaten path and come up with my own designs. Looking back, it was like stepping into another world where anything I imagined could come to life.

What really made Lego so special for me was how it brought people together. My little brother often joined me, and we would create entire cities together. If there had been arguments over which structure to build, they were quickly forgotten because we enjoyed the process so much.

To this day, I remember Lego vividly because it taught me patience and problem-solving. Plus, I’ve kept some of my creations as souvenirs. If I hadn’t had those toys, I doubt I’d have developed such an interest in design and construction.
