I often played alone when I was a little girl. I was actually great at
independent play. My imagination was (is) wild- it runs in numerous
directions, creating stories and adventures for hours on end. It wasn’t
that I didn’t have friends to play with, I did. I just often preferred to
play alone and explore my own thoughts. But every once in a while, I
wanted to share the imaginary world that I had created with someone
else.
You see, I had a favourite playtime partner. The kind of partner you could always rely on, the one who knew how to have just the right amount of fun and make you feel like you were literally transported to a different place, a different time, a different world.
This playmate didn’t have hours to spend with me. But the moments that we played together, felt more exciting then any marathon playtime I ever had. I vividly remember the creating, the discovering, the exchange of thoughts, my natural curiosity being utterly satisfied during our time together.
That playtime partner was my mother. This independent little girl loved to have her mother play with her. My mom never made me feel silly for the worlds I created, the games I spent hours perfecting. Instead, she joined me, seamlessly, helping me build castles, asking me about the princesses that would end up living there, running their countries with ease (little feminist I was).
Fast forward with me. My son, now 17 months old, has just discovered the world of independent play. With the rush of our busy lives, I initially was relieved. I can make dinner, sweep the floor, open mail…and he can entertain himself. But the other day, as I watched him building his own castles (or what I will assume is a castle of sorts) it took me back to my favourite playtime moments. The moments where my mom, single mom of two little girls, took the time to sit on the floor and help me create my fantasy world.
So that day, as cheese sauce bubbled on my stove, I sat down and built with my son. We talked (I talked, he babbled) and laughed and created. It was 5 minutes. But for me, it felt like time stood still. I hoped that he felt like it was special too. And it must have been because yesterday, as I was getting a snack ready for us to share, he came, grabbed my hand, and asked me to build with him…and for a few minutes, I got to share in his magical world.
And maybe, if I’m really lucky, I’ll become a favourite playmate of his as well.

My favorite playmates were my dolls. I was a doll fan when young and remain a doll fan now that I am older.
My Favorite playmate was my sis. Although we fough just as often as we played, these times were priceless.
My luck was being born smack dab in the middle of two sisters who provided endless fun and adventures. My older sister was worldly and wise, while my younger sister was creative and rugged. Too much fun!
My favourite playmate was Lori. She had her own bedroom – a luxury my large family did not have.
My favorite playmate was my little sister. I could dress her up, she was always up and ready for some fun.
My childhood playmate was a pink teddy bear that I received for my 5th birthday. His name was “Ted” (as in Ted E Bear) and, more than 30 years later, he is still with me!
Mine was a sort of stuffed doll – white with blotches of color in the fur and a plastic face. Cuddly! And later I got a PJ bag that matched which I named Cuddlekins. Theyoften got married….I got the first doll after eye surgery and the second for Christmas. I kept them for 40 years!
Even though I had two brothers and a sister, my favorite playmate was a girl named Jenn. We did everything together (good and bad)! That was many moons ago, but Jenn and I are still great friends….we just play differently now through our kids!
Christine. She was my mom’s friends’ daughter and I knew her before kindergarten. She was then in my classes during elementary school. I remember being so jealous of her because she could print her name and I couldn’t in kindergarten. I remember practicing printing with her for a long time.
Growing up I loved to play with my cousins… we were all close in age and played barbies, school, house and supermarket for hours… we even had a dolly daycare!
Christine, she lived kitty corner from me.
Growing up with 3 older brothers meant I had to create my own playmate. My favorite bear, Theodore, Ted for short became my best friend. We did everything together, espeically games where you needed another player, he was great and 33 years later I still have him and my daughters LOVE playing with him too.

my favorite play mate when I was little was my sister! We had our fights but for the most part we played well together.
My brothers and my sister were always fun. We were always outside riding our bikes or taking them apart and rebuilding them. My big brother had the most awesome bike he created with a banana seat and high handle bars. So much fun!
My favourite playmate was my sister! We played in the basement and pretended to be teachers. All our stuffed animals were the students! And we grew up to be teachers in real life!
My Favourite playmate was my Raggedy Ann Doll. I loved her so much, and she looked nothing like me or my friends while growing up. I think I liked her so much because she was very different.

Hmmmm… probably the boy down the street that could barely speak english, though I forget his name.

My favourite childhood playmate (aside from my older brother) would be the granddaughter of our neighbours! She was great.
My twin sister.
My favorite childhood playmate was a handmade cabbage patch doll that my Mom made for me, it hadt he same color eyes and hair as me! I packed that doll with me every where i went, i fed it food and washed its face and made clothes for her. I remember once i was leaving to go stay at my aunts house for a week during summer holidays and as we were driving away, i looked back and my mom was running out of the driveway waving my doll…i was so upset i had forgot to take my doll with me in all the excitement. My mom knew that i would be very sad if i didnt have my doll to tuck in with that night at bed.
My fav childhood playmate was this boy named Lamar. In grade 5 He was great at all sports like track and field and he was such a fast runner. I was the fat kid that was a little slower then the rest of the kids. Lamar always helped me to stretch before doing any activities and we played in the school yard all the time. I After gained alot of confidence grade 6 I began to play in school events and I won the 60 m race against my class mates. After that I was rewarded by attending at Centennial Park Track and Field against school kids all around the GTA I won mostly 1st place ribbons! Thank you Lamar for have faith in me.
My favorite childhood playmate was Stacy who lived across the street from me when I was young.
My brother was my favorite playmate when I was a kid…it was a built in friend that was already there…until we became teens and started going through a phase where all we did was fight…I feel bad for my poor mom. I’m happy to say, these days, we get along well again.
My favourite playmate growing up was my best friend Dominique. She moved on our street when we were 4. We have been best friends since and though some time goes by between conversation now we can pick up right where we left off. There is nothing like the friends we made when we were kids. They say some people are there for a season or two but there are others that are there for a lifetime. Dominique and I will be friends for a lifetime. We have been through hell and back (cancer) and have stayed strong and are stronger because of everything we have been through.
I now watch my children as they make there friends and can only hope that they each find a friend as special as Dominique is to me.
my favorite play time friend as a child was richie, a little boy that lived across the street from us. i always said i was going to marry Richie….i never did…..
My favourite playmate was a little boy down the street. We became friends at age 4, and stayed best friends until about grade 7 or so, when girlfriends/boyfriends & hormones took over. He and I would spend every waking hour together….playing…reenacting Star Wars…having lemonade stands…playing on our Commodore 64..and so on. I have great memories of this time, and miss him a lot!
My Favorite or sometimes NOT SO favorite wer my bookends…My sisters…Being the middle girl always had its benefits!
I would have to say that ALL my brothers and sisters were my favorite playmates, I grew up one of 9 kids on a dairy farm. There was always lots of room to roam which allowed us to use our imagination. i would say my favourite playmate memories were playing wonder women with my 2 older sisters and “v” and transformers with my younger brothers..I loved every minute of my childhood and all the memories that growing up on a dairy farm allowed me to have!!
My favourite playmate was my older brother. I loved following him around everywhere and learned a lot of things — good AND bad. Everyday was a new adventure and I couldn’t wait to get out of bed and see what we were going to do next. He let me follow him and babble endlessly. He played Barbies with me and let me join he and his friends make Hot Wheel towns in the dirt. He let me be ME. I loved him for it! He was better than ANY toy I owned… he was my HERO!
Raise on a ranch several miles from our nearest neighbor, my 2 sisters, 1 brother and I where seriously stuck with each other for early childhood companions. To my recollection I thought I was the luckiest girl alive. My brother, a year and a half older than I, was my hero. I knew him as incredibly smart, hysterically funny and daringly adventurous. My 4 year older sister was my protector and mentor. She was like having a third parent but better. She let me be a co-conspirator in her plans, (like raiding the garden of fresh peas without getting caught (didn’t work)), she could tell me things that only grownup girls would know (like what should barbie wear to the ball or how to kiss a boy), and unlike my mother, she seemed to enjoy it when I was rotten. Then there was my 14 month baby sister, at first she was like having your own live dolly to play with and as time went on became my best friend and constant companion.
My mom was m favorite playmate, I learned my love of baking from her, she would include me in all baking, canning and jam making. Even though she has been diagnosed twice with terminal cancer somehow we still manage to make jam and pickles between treatments.
My sister was my best playmate. We’re a little less than two years apart in age and did everything together.
I didn’t have a fav toy or anything but my best playmate was my younger brother, we use to every child game there was cops and robbers, we built forts, tag, hide and seek, and so on it was great we had lots of fun.
My best playmate was my sister. We used to play Barbie for hours at a time
my dad was my favourite playmate. He played with me whenever he wasn’t working and taught me a lot.
As corny as it sounds my favorite playmate was myself! I’m an only child and loved playing with my toys by myself, any time i had friends over things would get broken or ruined or they didn’t “play right” so I always relied on my trusty She-Ra dolls, cabbage patch kids, my little ponies and barbies to be my best friends.
My fave playmates were my Barbies & trawberry Shortcake dolls!
My favourite playmate was my younger brother. I remember playing GI Joe and lego with him.
My favourite play mate was our golden retriever ! Always prepared to go with me anywhere, anytime. Always eager to cuddle and listen to me when I needed to chat !
My friend Bonnie who lived across the street
Her nickname was Coco and she used to be my neighbor. We were best friends till the day she died in an accident! I still miss her.
I was an only child so my favorite playmate was my best friend Lisa. When it was light out we were running around town playing baseball, hopscotch, snail, kick the can until the lights came on. When it rained, we’d spend hours playing in the rain, swimming in the deep ditches.. until we couldn’t stand it anymore and our faces hurt from laughter. 🙂
My little sis was my favorite playmate.
my favourite playmate was my younger sister – really and truly – and we let our imaginations run super-wild all the time…
My favourite playmate was my grandfather. When he came to visit, I would get out my playset of dishes & cutlery & we would play restaurant. He would order food & I would pretend to make it & serve it to him. We had so much fun. It is a very special memory I have of him taking the time to spend with JUST me & not my other siblings. In those afternoons, I didn’t have to share him with anyone else, it was sublime!
Hi my name is Melanie. When I was little my favorite playmates were my three sisters Tammy, April and Brandy. We were all approximately 1 year apart. We all shared the same room and were always very close growing up. I have two beautiful children, a 6 mos. and 20 mos. old and I know they will be best friends like me and my sisters were.
My favorite playmate was also my mom. She did not laugh….well not that I knew of…..at me when I tried to make our couch into a hideaway. Or when I used to think our shaggy blue carpet was the ocean and I would swim as fast as I could trying to get away from the sharks. She just let me be who I wanted to be at that time.
my favorite playmate was my cat
My favorite childhood playmate was my soft, cuddly, teddy bear. We would tell stories and play together all day and take naps together.
my favourite playmate was my friend Valerie. we had many great days together
my siblings
My favorite playmate was the boy next door! Even as a young girl I loved boys. Me and Greg did everything together from play with my dog in the back yard to have sleepovers at each others houses. I felt like I lost a part of myself when we had to move away because of my parents jobs, but it let me see all of Canada growing up.
My favorite playmate at the time was my Daddy. He was my best friend and still is. He is now the best friend of my two little boys who love him so much. I’m glad he’s there for them like he was for me.
My best friend was a girl named Natalie we were joined at the hip from March 1980 (before we started school) until late 1988 when she moved we still hung out from time to time but not like before. We still keep in touch Via facebook and occasionally see each other. I met Nat one month after my sister was born I would dscribe her as my other sister as she was so much more than a friend. We did so much together liked the same guys everything. I remember when New Kids on the Block came out we both liked Jon so I told her she could “have Jon and I would take Jordan so we could really be sisters LOL”. I have settled down got married and Nat went on to a career that we both would love mapping the world. When I see her pics I still feel like I’m there with her and I know everyday she is here with me.No matter how many doors from her house to mine she is still the girl across the street to me
My best friend Matt and I had so much fun making up story lines for games where we were superhero cops (Immortal Heroes) riding around on our motorcycles (bicycles), building snow forts at the back of the apartment complex’s parking lot and playing video games.
My favourite playmate was my sister Sandy.
My favorite playmate was my cat. He and I always played together.
My favourite playmate was my cousin Christa and we would have lots of fun having sleepovers!
We moved so much that I didnt have many consistent playmates. I did have a vivid imagination though. But one friend I do remember was Julia. We did so much together, including building large snow/ice sculptures of horses and pretending they were real.
My twins will have each other, hopefully mixed in with many more friends.
my favourite playmate was my neighbour across the street. we use to jump on our bikes and go!
Living on a farm, far from friends, I relied on my three sisters to play with and have fun.
My sister who was older and in school. But while she was in school i played with a friend down the block.
My brother, he was younger than myself and the neighbourhood kids. We all used to bike ride a lot.
My sister, she is 2 years younger than me. We did fight a lot too but it was just the 2 of us…
My favourite playmate was my younger sister. I am the oldest, and she was born 3 years later…
It was great to have someone to play with (didn’t realize it at the time, but was GLAD she was a girl), and also someone I could pick on…. LOL
my favority playmate was a little boy down the street named James. We got “married” when we were 5! He was so sweet. He would pick dandelions for me every day.
I had a few favorites over the years, and I actually still talk to some of them thanks to Facebook. But one of them has eluded me 🙁 I really wish I could get a hold of her. Their names were Ashley, Christine, Chyane, and Nikki.
Chyane turned out to be my sister lol, her mother hid it for a long time before the secret got out. We always wondered why we looked so much alike and now we know.
It was great to find out one of my best friends was my sister. 🙂
My best play mate was my brothers. One is a year older and one is a year younger. We would have a blast searching the bush behind our house for treasures and taking stuff out of old barns to build new things. We once built a wagon out of an old stroller! We spent hours exploring together and creating all sorts of fun!
I had many playmates as a child… But my best friend was Kristin. We did everything together and ard are still fantastic friends.
I had a teddy bear that went every where with me. It is golden brown, with a cute little button nose, and white paws. Why I say IT IS, is because I still have him.
My favourite playmate was probably my next door neighbour, Kyle. He was the same age as me and just as goofy as I was/is!!
My favorite playmate was my was a Raggedly Ann doll that I would take everywhere with me.
My best friend Debbie who lived across the street.
As a mother of an only child, this post made me cry. I hope one day my son will reflect on the time he spends with me in the same manner. I definitely don’t have the time to devote to him that I’d like to have, but every available moment I do have, I wholeheartedly give to him. It took me about 18 or so years to realize it, but my favorite childhood playmate was my sister. We grew up military brats, and as she so eloquently expressed to me as I stood up for her on the day of her wedding, “When there was no one else, we had each other.”
My favorite laymate was my cat. She didn’t let me dress her up but she would stay by my side and had no problem being a tiger or a handsome prince.
My favourite playmate was my sister. With only 18 months between us, we spent a lot of time playing together as children. I’m sure my mother would say we spent more time bickering than playing, but we were always there for each other.
I must say my favorite playmate was an old dresser with a mirror from my grandparents that I had in my room! It was a monstrosity and it sat in a corner! I would crawl under the dresser and I would let my imagination take me to a million and one different places (my favorite being the cockpit of a rocket ship). This was what I did for fun until I could no longer fit under the dresser!
I remember my friend Kyla being so funny we’d be howling until our sides hurt. We dreamed up games, made a club with some other friends, and played all manner of schoolyard games. I wonder where she is now every once in a while, and if she’s still so funny!
My favorite childhood playmate was my holly hobbie doll…She was my name sake..my best friend. I wouldn’t go to bed at night w/o her. She was THE best Christmas present a little girl could have gotten!
Mine was my niece, who is only 4 months younger than I am. My mom babysat her while my sister worked, so we pretty much grew up together.
My little brother – while I was a tagalong for my older brother, it was my little bro who would actually play with me. Our best game ever was “surprises” where we would hide little toys and then plot intricate puzzles for each other to solve in order to find the surprise.
No doubt about it- it was my sister.
My favourite playmate was my Mrs. Beasley doll lol She used to let me wear her glasses lol
My stuffed monkey. When I lost my stuffed monkey I was completely devastated and I never did find it’s replacement.
My favourite playmate was my brother. He would play with his Spock or Ken doll when we played “Barbies” together.
My favourite playmate was my cousin. We grew up together in the same home and we enjoyed so many special moments playing and having fun together.
My favourite playmate was my friend Isabelle.
My childhood playmate was my neighbour and my best friend. We were inseperable untill I entered school a year before she did. She was the oposite of me, I was terribly shy and indrawn and she was super outgoing and friendly – we were perfect together. My family was VERY disfunctional and hers (in my view) was perfect, I base alot of how I parent now on her mom! I would go over to her house for hugs, and warm cookies, love and attention. I felt safe with her and her family. We had honestly the biggest Barbie collection in our neighbourhood, it would be worth a fortune today LOL, and that is what we loved to do, dress them play with them, marry them off 🙂 She was awsome. I found her on facebook and it was wonderful to catch up, she has kids now, as do I and she is still the friendly outgoing person she was, I am alot less shy but I am still who I was LOL. My oldest is a little me!
My favourite playmate growing up was my little sister!
My next door neighbor Katie was my best playmate we would sit on my front porch
playing barbies all day long.
I love Lego and so will my nephew – if I win.
As the middle girl of three my most consistant playmates were my sisters! Although we fought an awful lot my best memories were playing with them. Especially on Christmas day!
My favourite playmate was my cousin. We were born two days apart and we used to have really neat joint birthday parties. My Aunt would alway make a money cake ( a cake with coins hidden inside) Everyone would get at least one coin in their slice – it was exciting to see who got the most money. Amazingly, no one ever choked on a coin – I don’t think I’d try this whith my own kids, but my cousin and I loved it.
My favorite playmate was my twin sister! We done everything together! 😉
My favourite playmate growing up was a neighbour who lived up the road from my house. I grew up in the country, so having a best friend who was my age, went to the same school and rode the same bus, it was definitely a match made in heaven!
One of my favourite playmates was my cousin who was nearly the same age as me. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favourite playmates were my two cousins and we’re all only months apart in age. Both of them being boys, most of my youth was spent playing He-Man, Legos or endless games of castle and slaying dragons… which is good practise to currently being a mom of three boys five and under!!!
My favorite playmate was my best friend Diane. We spent most days after school together until she moved away.
My neighbour’s daughter was my favourite playmate. We would ride our bicycles into lanes we have never been before exploring….we lost touch when we moved and recently got in touch and we are neighbours again – she lives in USA. Far away – yet neighbouring countries.
Our neighbour’s daughter was my favourite playmate. We would invent new games and enjoy playing them.
My favorite childhood playmate was my cousin. We both spent a lot of weekends at our grandparents and had fun playing the whole time.
My favourite childhood playmate was my sister, Angie. She is only a year older then me and we had so much fun together growing up. We really were best friends and she still is my absolute best-friend and we still have a great time together. We have a sister that’s two years older than us but for some reason shes just not as close as us, didn’t get me wrong we are all very close but just not the same. Our boys are one year apart and they two have that special relationship. So if i win the blocks my favourite childhood playmate and her son will enjoy time playing with me and my son.
My favorite childhood playmate was Leanne and is still, I guess you’d callher, my ‘adulthood’ playmate…but now instead of conversing over toys and games…it’s cocktails!! LOL We’ll grow old together!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D
My neighbors were a family from India..I played with the little girl..But even better was to learn at a young age a different culture which has given me better insight to all cultures more than most people..Easier to understand without judgement at a younger age than at an adult age..
My favorite playmate growing up was a girl named Cheryl we lived across from each other and would spend our days together
My older brother was my favorite playmate when I was a child.
My sisters
Growing up our neighbours had 5 kids and there were 4 in our family. We did everyting together and were all very close in age – between the two families we hit every age (ex: age 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 yrs). They were the best playmates any kid could ask for — till this day we still keep in touch.
My favourite playmate was my little brother.
I was babysit just across the street with about a dozen other kids, so I had lots of great playmates. But my favourite friend was a boy named Jamie that lived just down the street from me, because I could run down and play at his house whenever I wanted, and vice versa!
My favorite playmate was a friend that lived down the street it was a boy and until puberty we played all the time than we went our own seperate ways but I have fond memories of the times we had playing.w
my favourite playmate was my brother.
My favorite playmate was Manon we were inseparable. We did everything together. When I was 9 we moved to another province and I never saw her again. Wow! That was so long ago. Would be nice to see her again.
My dog Nipper he ran along beside my bike !
I used to love playing with my cat and dog. They would actually play hide and seek. Oh wait a minute maybe they were hiding from me. lol.
My favourite playmate when I was very young was Go-Go the Horse- a plastic horse on wheels. I actually found one at a yard sale which I bought for my daughter when she was little (she wil be 13 next week) and i still have it. I am sure my 6 month old daughter will love it as well!
My sister was my favorite playmate.
My younger brother was my favorite playmate!
My favorite playmate was my imaginary friend Lisa and her sister Jennifer when we moved from house to house.
When we stayed in one place when I was six, my best friend was a REAL person named Jennnifer, ha ha!!

tanandjosh@telus.net
my fave playmate was a friend from school – we were in the same class together for 10 years! we had a lot of fun times indoors, outdoors, pretty much everywhere….
I loved playing with all the kids on our street, mostly boys..so there was lots of kick the can! My brother came later, when I turned 9.

My son is 5 years old and in SK and he told me his new playmate/girlfriend is Sophia. LOL. He says, “Mom, she loves me all day”
I fondly remember my childhood years and I treasure every single second spent with my cousin, Patty. We grew up to be best friends, more like sisters than cousins. I idolized her. She was four years older than I was. She let me wear her makeup and her clothes. She let me help with everything when she babysat me. We made cookies and brownies (oh, how I miss those brownies) and I especially liked it when she did my hair. She died in a car accident in 2003. The memories of us together are so wonderful that sometimes I just sit and think about the things we used to do. She was so kind to me. She let me in to every aspect of her life. Even when she was a teenager, she would invite me to come out with her and her friends. I remember the time she got me into a club when I was 17. I did not drink, but I had such an incredible time. I felt so grown up. I miss everything about Patty, but I am thankful for the memories.
My favourite playmate was my best friend Andrew; me and him use to do everything together, from having quirky little garage sales to riding our bikes all over the neighborhood every day, they were great times.
My brother was my favourite playmate. (However he was 5 years older than me, so I may have not always been his favourite playmate…)
I loved my Barbie’s!
My one eared yellow bunny rabbit!
I was an only child until I was 8, but up until my younger sister was born, my best friend was a girl named Bekki. We lost touch for quite a few years after I moved away, but thanks to Facebook we found each other again a couple years back.
My sister was my playmate. We were 18 months apart and inseparable.
My favourite childhood playmate was a girl with the nickname Mattie.I lost contact with her and never knew her real name.

My fave playmate was my brother. Being the youngest with two older brothers could have been really hard but my brother (2 years older than me) always took the time to play with me.
My favourite childhood playmate was my cousin,Judy. We were almost exactly a year apart(give or take a few days). My family took her on holidays with us.
My fave childhood playmate was my brother. We are only a year apart in age so we had a lot of the same friends too. We could be the best of friends when playing, or the worst of enemies. rofl
My favourite childhood playmate was my cousin.We are close in age so we would spend hours as little girls, playing with our dolls and making up stories together.
my little guy loves lego. His imagination is endless and so are the things he can build.
My favorite childhood playmate was my sister. We did everything together and we have fantastic memories of all of the fun things that we did.
My brother. We had a great time playing with dolls and cars.
My fav playmate was a girl named Lily. I was #3 of 4 kids so there was always my siblings around to play with but when I was 7, our family moved to the town I ended up spending the rest of childhood in. Across the street was Greek family of 2 boys and a younger girl. Those 3 kids became our group of 4 closest friends. Lily introduced me to greek food and culture, we shared our Ukrainian roots.
We played kick the can and hide n seek in our cul-de-sac, sleep overs, playing cards all night…….adult life has gotten in the way but we still keep in touch.
my cabbage patch kid, miranda – she and i were the best of friends for years as a child!
A friend named Loretta. We spent the summers building and sleeping in forts in the bushes, catching frogs, riding our bikes to DQ, picking and eating blueberries, rescuing injured birds, climbing trees, and skipping rope…. It was a very different time.
I’d have to say that my favourite playmate was my younger sister – really and truly – and we let our imaginations run super-wild all the time… we still play. When we’re in the same city, people need to just step back and let us be unleashed on the world. She’s still my greatest friend. And we’re together? Shenanigans. Big time. Heh.
My favourite playmate was a fabric rabbit made by mom. I remembered that when I was sad, I love to use it to cover my eyes so that at night, no one would know that I cried … too bad that it was so worn out that my mom threw it away …
We lived in a rural area so my favourite playmate was my dog Yukon. He lived for 15 years so I grew up with him.
