Collecting toys is actually a fun hobby to have. Here are some things to do when you collect toys.
Step 1
Decide what kind(s) of toys you want to collect. Thinking about the kind(s) of toys you want to collect make it easier to find out what you want to collect. Some kinds of toys could be red toys, yellow toys, animal toys, variety, cars, fluffy toys, etc.
Step 2
Look for them at stores. Find some stores where you can buy toys. Look in the big chains, Walmart, Kmart, and Target for example- but also look at the independent or specialty stores to find more unusual items.
Step 3
Ask a friend or a family member for their toys. If your friend or a family member has toys they don't want, ask them if they could give them to you.
Step 4
Look for garage sales. Sometimes garage sales sell toys. Look for local garage sales around your neighborhood. Check the local newspaper classified advertisements for yard, garage, or rummage sales near you.
Step 5
Check fast food franchises for promotional toys. McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and Dairy Queen are examples of fast food places that have special kid's meals that include a toy.
Step 6
Look for them at bookstores. Sometimes they can sell them for a limited time. A bookstore you can look at is Barnes and Noble.
