Grandpa's Magical Toys was a video part of the Wee Sing Video Series series of videos started in 1985. The video was the third installment, and was released in 1988. A DVD of it was released in 2005.
The story
The video concerned three children and their magical adventure in a toyroom. The grandfather in the story has a room of toys that he grew up with. Such toys include a Dutch girl doll (essentially a costumed Barbie doll), a sailor doll, a clown marionette, and more. His grandson, Peter, the main character, knows of these toys and wants to share them with his friends, David and Sarah.
While his grandfather is out of the room, magic shrinks the children down, while the toy room grows to a large size, making the toys come to life. The children enjoy their time with the toys, and by the time the day ends, the children learn about being young at heart.
The video is told with twenty children's songs and is within sixty minutes.
