Aussie television star Edwina Bartholomew revealed she has passed some of her own favourite toys down to her eight-month-old daughter Molly this week, as she shared a sweet photograph of the baby girl playing with a retro set of colourful blocks.

The Sunrise presenter posted the adorable photograph of Molly to Instagram on Wednesday, as well as a photograph of herself as a toddler playing with the very same toy.

“Same age. Same blocks. 37 years between photos,” she wrote. “Celebrating eight months of silly songs and wide eyed wonder this week.

“Sitting up. Chit chatting. Growing an impressive comb over. All in a day’s work, Miss Molly.”
