Kids playing with your ponies

[Skeen]

I don't have children so there is no reason for them to be anywhere in my home, let alone my Pony Room.

My kids are older now, so they are allowed to play with all my ponies, including G1s. They like setting them up in the playsets with all their accessories.

So anyone who ever buys my ponies, my kids have handled them at some point.

May I borrow your children? They could tidy all those accessories for me

Oh they would absolutely love it!

I have a not quite four year old daughter nicknamed Zilla who adores ponies so I just buy two of practically every G4 toy as it is released one for mommy and one for Zilla (no blindbags for her just yet). I keep my own MLP collection in my doll room which I keep locked, on the rare occasions she does make it in to the doll room she will bypass everything else in favor of MLP. She doesn't really do anything bad with them she just likes to rearrange them on the shelf and move my displays around a bit, she has never broken or ruined any of my ponies but she has helped herself to any MLP I leave in my spares box. She seems to love all the gens but she doesn't seem overly fond of G1 unless it's a baby or "mommy" Applejack so thankfully the G1s are safe from being rearranged.

I'd let kids play with my collection. They bring me joy and I'd like to spread the joy with others.

It depends.

I have two little sisters, one is 6 and one is 4. They have never messed up something of mine. xD (not yet..)

My regular, US G1 releases? Sure, they can play with em, but like said, I usually only let them do it in my room. xD


Meh, here is my view on nirvanas:

My italians & brazil ponies: A little bit more watched than my US ones. Again, I don't have any super-pricey ones of these.
My Germans: ..Mehhhhhh, I'd have to be sitting right by them.
My Argentinans: Only my not-as-high-price-tag ones, and they are super super super watched. I usually only let my sisters sit with me and hold them. ._.
Greeks: ....noooo.
Colombians & Venezuelan: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. ;; /hides them...if I had one. ._.

...(don't have any greeks, colombians or venezuelans, but i may be soon. ._. )

Half my collection are childhood ponies, most of which I got second-hand as a kid.  They played in the gardens, took baths with me (but very few have any rust because my mom was always super careful about drying them afterwards), and got stuffed into backpacks.  Some of them are older than I am.  If a well-behaved child came over, I would have no problem letting her (or him) play with my ponies.  With the exception of Red Roses, Sunburst, and my customs.  I would tell them that I had those toys since I was their age and to please be gentle with them, but a toy is meant to be loved.

Now if the kid was a terror, that would be a totally different story.

When I have kids eventually, I fully intend to teach them to play nicely with toys and many of my ponies will be available to them.
