Your Favourite Toy when you were a child
My 21 year old daughter came for a visit last weekend. We spent pretty much all of that time sorting out her old soft toys, books, Barbies etc.
Got me to thinking.....What was YOUR favourite toy as a child....do you still have it?
I personally loved the Slinky! Would play with it for hours! I wasn't a doll girl..give me the technical stuff, like a microscope, or a telescope, or a book on geology and I was a happy little pig in mud!
Let me know yours!

mr buttons....my stuffed bunny. he went EVERYWHERE with me!!! in fact he slept in my bed up until the boys were born. lol. he's my oldest stuffed bunny. my dad bought him for me when i was 4 for easter. he's so raggady and now my brett takes him everywhere with him. lol.
You guys are really fantastic! I had totally forgotten most of these.. Great to see girls had techno toys as well as the boys!
Did anyone mention Gloworm?
Good question and thanks for bringing back some good memories! My fav had to be LIGHT BRIGHT!!! I also used it as a night light!
Beachwalker33 you reminded me of my sister's Barbies....I used to tie her up and swing her from the branches of a tree. My sister was NOT impressed!
When I was little I loved Holly Hobbie.I had the coolest Holly Hobbie stove.I liked this yellow victorian dollhouse my Dad made for me.As I got older I loved basketball,my brother and I played everyday,we were poor sports and threw the basketball at each others heads.Those were the days!!!! I liked Transformers and chemistry sets,I remember throwing a bunch of chemicals together and made a rust remover,it spilled on this older undrivable rusty car,and the rust came right off.I couldn't remember how I made it.I did have Barbies too,but my best friend and I would paint her fingernails and would paint nimples on Barbie.We were little,it was fun.A great subject!

green teddy (,big,) china doll, cinderella and the prince , dancing round and round. monopoly, chess, books, books ,climbing trees, swinging on rope swings , getting into trouble...so whats new.
i preferred to play with my friends out on the street ,we played all types of games ,i had lots of different toys because i was one of the youngest of 10 kids ,but i like to play outside with my friends ,..we played all kinds of games on the street ,i also liked to play with insets ,i would put lots of different ones in a jar and see which one would kill the other one first ,...i had toys but i liked insets more ,...
i know i was bad to do that to them but i didn't know that when i was small ,.....

I remember when television was black and white, and we were not allowed to watch except the Sunday movie of the week where Mom made home made potato chips and Koolaid, or a rootbeer float and we all sat down to watch. Other than that I absolutely loved to pick on my younger sister. That was my real pastime. I love her tho! We are real close now!
I am so pleased this topic got people to remember their childhood! Many of you have reminded me of things I had totally forgotten! We were dirt poor and had very little to play with. I am the eldest of 7 children and the age difference is huge! My youngest sister now 24 ( I am about to turn 46 on Saturday!) had the Pound Puppies, my other sister had Cabbage Patch dolls. My brother had Tonka trucks.
I tended to stay outdoors for as long as I could. Till it either got too darn cold or too darn late! Amazingly kids just don't play outdoors much. I do see there is a trend to get kids to play sports, but you rarely see kids outdoors playing in their yards anymore. Sad.

My parents got cable right after I, the youngest, moved out of the house. They always said it was too much $, but I think they really just didn't want to encourage too much TV watching!
I had some computer games and an original nintendo, and I did like those, especially during bad weather. But I have more memories from other activities.

When I was a kid we didnt even have cable at our house!! only my grandparents houses did! We lived in such a small town when i was really young i would ride my bike all over the place!! The whole pc thing and cell phones thing for me i remember it hit after HS!! Hardly any1 knew had a pc in their home and cell phones were just unheard of!!
note none of our favorites were video games or pc games, the reason usa has so many obese kids and the genration of our children has a shorter life expectancy then we do...sad,,we used to play out doors till the street lights came on then it was time to head home, always hot tired and thirsty but we played hard and used our imaginations.
As already mentioned, spirograph, stuffed animals, and lite brite were favorites. Also, I was a big fan of chalk, I would cover the whole driveway with hop scotch and silly drawings.
spelled it wrong....sorry:( it is etch a sketch :)
With out a doubt it was a etch-a-stetch and also my hula hoop....i would play for hours with them......back in those days,life was so simple:)
I had to ask my DH i thought this was a good topic!! He was still in Mexico as a child so he said for him he was the jacks and tops and yoyo's!! He said he got a batman figurine one time that you could put the string on it and make it fly just like batman!!
my doll house no doubt loved decorating and such also my poor Barbies I cut their hair off every time LOL
OH WOW good topic!! Man i dont know if i had just one! I was a doll girl loved the baby dolls and dressing them I got a cabbage patch doll once I loved her alot i remember lol!! And my grandpa used to get us pound puppies i loved the lil carrier thing for them!! I also loved the my lil ponies too!
Ok was just thinking and now i remember it was my glow worm!! I loved that lil thing it was so cute and i loved making it light up!!

An original Barbie ...now I'm dating myself!!!!
This is a tough one! I really loved my Barbie's and her all her fun accessories but I think hands down it would have to be my Light Bright. I can remember my sister and I sitting there for hours pushing those lights in until our fingers ached. That was a fun trip down memory lane! : )
LEGO for me. loved to build things.
