HubMob Weekly Topic : Toys

1. 80

   Princessaposted 14 years ago

   
   
   Hello everyone, I am a bit early this week with the new HubMob topic, I hope no one minds.  First of all I want to thank all the HubMobsters who contributed to the Thanksgiving HubMob.  So far we have 20 great hubs on the topic.  Thank you HubMobsters! 
   
   Time is passing by very fast and soon we are going to be celebrating another Christmas and as I heard most Americans do their Christmas shopping right after thanksgiving day then why not start writing about all the entertaining toys that we have tried and tested; our most favourite toys ever or the toys that we always wanted and never had.  Let's hub about all the toys that parents might want to buy this year for their little ones. 
   
   Some ideas for a HubMob hub on toys are:
   
   Your favourite childhood toys
   Action Figures
   Arts & Crafts
   Baby Toys
   Bath Toys
   Bikes
   Building Blocks
   Costumes & Dress Up
   Dolls & Doll Houses
   Dominoes
   Educational Toys
   Electronic toys
   Flying Toys & Rockets
   Handheld Games
   Inflatable toys
   Light-Up & Glow in the Dark Toys
   Magnets & Magnetic Toys
   Miniature Cars, Motorcycles, & Trucks
   Puppets & Finger Puppets
   Radio Controlled & Remote Controlled toys
   Skates & Skateboards
   Stuffed Animals & Teddy Bears
   Tents & Tunnels
   Tops & Spinning Toys
   Vintage Toys
   Water Toys & Boats
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. YOU MUST START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the Answer the Request green button.  Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option. 
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/23439/hubm … ew&rss
   
   4. Add the HubMob graphic to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
   
   5. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   
   If you are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-a-HubMo … o-join-one  please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.

      This is my first ever hubmob, hadn't even heard about them until about 4 days ago.
      
      Here's mine, written straight from the heart, it's a true story of a great toy that I wanted ... and still don't actually have.  Although now I don't have the space for one... but one day, one day, one of these WILL be mine!

      No, sorry.  You have to go through the 'Answer this request' link that is in Princessa's original post.  Otherwise, you do not show up in the HubMob feed.
      
      Maybe reslant it for a new hub?

   The roundup hub is live.  Not sure why but HubMerc is not showing up in the feed.  It's in his hub, though.
   
   I intentionally did not give the hub a Christmas or holiday slant, hoping that people will read for birthdays, etc. as well.

   Here is mine.  I wrote about model rockets.  This was a toy that I loved to play with when I was a kid.  I found that it is still pretty inexpensive to do.  It is a good toy for girls and boys, and something that you can do with your kids.  I am going to try it again, I have a couple of grand kids that would like to try it.

    I'm not doing this but I did come across a keyword for My first toys and thought it would be a good idea for some of you. Maybe you could add wooden rocking horses and rocking toys to it. There is lots of scope. Good luck everyone and one day I will join in when I feel I have gained a little more experience. Oh and I thought maybe a hub on toys to invest in like vintage and the real old fashioned rocking horses.
