childhood toy

A childhood toy is an object children play with during their early years, often carrying emotional significance into adulthood.

The phrase typically appears in nostalgic contexts—remembering, rediscovering, or parting with such objects: I found my childhood toy in a box in the attic.

A childhood toy may become a cherished keepsake or collector's item.
