Do you remember your favourite childhood toy? If you close your eyes and imagine, you may be able to remember how it felt in your hands, what it smelled like, or the excitement you felt on the day you got it. For a moment, you might even feel like you’re transported back to your younger years, a time when your world was as big as your imagination, and a toy wasn’t just a toy, but something more… something magic.
In this holiday episode of Intangible Alberta, Mat chats with vintage toy collectors Shane Turgeon and Trevor Schneider, and Mat’s parents, Susan and Ryan, to explore the nostalgia around vintage toys, collecting, and keeping the magic of Christmas morning alive.
