As if I, @LivingUKTaiwan don't have enough on my plate already, I've decided to set up a new community. This is going to be a fun one that everyone, young and old will love. Let me introduce you to Toys on Hive a community to share your toy stories 😀
KIDS TOYS
A toy is anything that can be used to play. We all have toys we grew up playing with, toys that bring back sweet memories. Or maybe there were toys that we couldn't afford when we were a kid, and now we buy it to indulge ourselves. We buy toys for our kids and pets, and some people even make their own toys and plaything.

GROWN UP TOYS
The Cambridge Dictionary also defines toys as an object that is used by an adult for pleasure rather than for serious use. That's why you'll see cars, bikes, cameras, fooder mixer, and yes, that's a fishing rod in the banner. Often people buy things just because we can, we want it, and it makes us feel good, and not because we need it. That's why we call them toys. We probably all have a few of them at home, that random knick knack we bought at the store, or perhaps the expensive gadget to get over our mid life crisis.

POSTING ON TOYS ON HIVE
This coummunity was set up for you to share your toy stories. It can be anything about the toy your own, purchased, or played with before, but not a product review on something you haven't bought yet. Childhood memories, your handmade toys, your collection of Gundam action figurines, toys bought as presents for pets, friends and family (Christmas is coming up), or your experience in 'playing' with the toy are all great to share. As is talking about your new camera, but not if you're just going to share photos you took with it. There's the Photography community for that. A toy should be a physical object that you can actually hold, your VR headset is a toy, but not the VR game you play on your computer. History and cultural stories about toys are also nice to share. These are just examples, basically any physical object that you enjoying playing with can be a toy. Be creative but don't abuse the community 😉 Also check out the community rules, particularly Rule #4 🙃
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Toys on Hive is supported by OCD under their Community Incubation Program. We will curate quality posts from this community and submit them for their support. That means no low-quality single image post or plagarism. Initially, we'll be curating English posts only, so if your native language isn't English, please do a bilingual post. As the community activity grows, we'll also run toy themed contests, I hope to launch the first one in a few days time.
I hope you're going to have fun here and join our Toys on Hive TOH community.
