My Little Pony memories
This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow History scheme of work. In this video, Vicky and Sophie share memories of their favourite childhood toys: My Little Ponies. They describe how they first received them as gifts for birthdays and Christmas, and how their collections grew over time. Each pony has its own colours, patterns, and special features, such as Posey’s pink flowers and Windy’s unicorn horn. Over the years, the toys have changed in appearance, with colours fading and hair becoming less soft.
They also explain how My Little Ponies were part of imaginative games, including playing schools, where Windy was always the teacher because he was the only unicorn. These toys were shared between family members and even played with alongside newer versions. The video shows how toys can hold special memories, connect different generations, and inspire creative play — sometimes even influencing what we become when we grow up.
The video is designed to be shown to pupils as part of History, Key stage 1, Year 1, How have toys changed? Lesson 2: Did your parents and grandparents play with the same toys as you?
