I remember those tiny handheld mazes. The ones that drove me crazy had two tiny metal balls inside which you were supposed to roll into different parts of the maze. And there were the ones that were filled with coloured liquid and you had to shift a bubble around - really difficult.

I remember those...and the cruel
gag version...the ones that had your Xmas money inside them and you had to solve the puzzle to get your present out.... (grrrr....)The pattern of the skin reminds me lot of the turtle’s skin on De Madras a Zakinthos.
Utterly breathtaking!
Very cleverly creative intro!♧◇♡♤ CAREFREE TIMES ♤♡◇♧Time to give our inner child free reign this week!
Toys and games
The H 2018 theme was "Let's Play" and H really played around with the concept. There are plenty of toys in the H archives, so it's not surprising that we can find dolls, bears and all kinds of games popping up in the scarf designs through the years.
One of the first H scarves was based on a board game: Jeu des Omnibus. The original scarf was shown at an exhibition here in Singapore and there was even an interactive app that showed visitors how the game was played.

A favourite scarf of mine is Tour de Monde en 63 Cases which came with a pair of dice and instructions. It's based on a 16th century board game called Game of Goose. Every little square contains a surprise!

Equal in popularity to board games are card games. And while some board games like chess are meant for only two players, card games can mostly be played by many. The average deck can be used for fortune-telling, but I like the intricate designs and symbolism of the Tarot.

Another recent design reminded me of a toy I grew up with: mix and match flipbooks. My mum got me one in vinyl material which she used to distract me in the bathtub.

Teddy bears of course are traditional toys, though much younger in history than Game of Goose.

And naturally toys must have their accessories too. Presenting Brown Bearfoot and friend doing the H it Up with mini Brides de Gala. (I'm looking forward to comparing my mini BdGs with the new crop next season!)

Kids nowadays have virtual reality as their playground. An old movie The Last Starfighter had as its premise that an arcade game was used to train potential pilots in an intergalactic war. Sometimes, when I look at my sons playing their MMORPGs, I wonder if they would freeze or leap into action if an animatronic/alien dragon leapt from the screen.

Children at play is the theme in one of my favourite scarves Triples. The adorable trio hop, skip and jump through all the Parisian landmarks. The scene I like best is their dip in the fountain.

Of course we can't leave out what the media euphemistically calls "big boy toys": the yachts, fast cars and other stuff I blink at when I read magazines recommending what to buy for those who have nothing left that they want or need to buyParures du Vent and its impressive array of fast car hood ornaments. I think I can afford a hood ornament, or a hub cap....

Your Amours ‘he loves me...’ - inspirational!
I remember playing Pong back in the late 70’s!! What a blast from the past
Love the Water games with jeans and white T combined with your barenia halzan, looking great lanit!
Hmmm...I recall thinking that your cw was my fave. I love blues and greens together, even though I can’t wear much of either color. I think yours is gorgeous!!
My SOTD today is not really a toy and not really a game, but the design does show a lot of playing cards.
Cartes et Tarot is all about cartomancy - divination using cards. The focus is on a set of delicately coloured cards with people who look like they stepped out of an Austen novel.
In the background are line drawings of cards from many different sets of oracle cards. I can see a Six of Swords from the Tarot Minor Arcana. The fish card might be from Lenormand. Justice with scales and a sword but no blindfold is probably based on the Rider Waite deck.
Another scarf with cards and magical paraphernalia is La Magie. The items surrounding the top hat bunny are commonly found in the magic kits for kids (bunny & birds not included)

There are arcade games at the Circus:
And Electrique (SOTD) makes me think of the lights you might see in a pinball machine or in Las Vegas (aka Lost Wages) where there are games galore!
