Childhood Games

A Marble-ous Story!

This heartwarming story caught our attention this morning, featured in the Cork Independent, regarding a young boy who returned a marble he stole to the shop, with a letter of apology.

It reminded us of those childhood favorites – marbles! What games or toys would you remember as children? With polio survivors often spending huge parts of their childhoods in hospitals, perhaps there were different games, or games you adapted or made up? What toys were brought as gifts?

We would love to hear your stories. Contact Emma by email (cdo@polio.ie) or write to us at Polio Survivors Ireland, Coleraine House, Coleraine Street, Dublin 7, D07 E8XF.
