‘what IS this?!’
‘a typewriter?’
‘i think if i hit these buttons,
the keys will move
and i can give this animal a ride.’

Now that is adorable. No batteries required for hours of fun. An invention that didn’t need electricity to work, just strong fingers, ribbon and sometimes carbon paper. Sigh. I miss my old Smith-Corona. (ding).

I used to have a few on our preschool “office” which really was cute when they would try to say the letters before they all got stuck together 🙂 ha ha, loved the little hamster on the roller and the hand outstretched. Your “m” reminds me of my 6 year old “M”~~ Micah. 🙂
