lite brite!!! i loved that! =)

my mom had that Chrissy doll I used to play w/ it when i was little. it was weird. she said she always wanted a Chatty Cathy but I saw once once and thought it was terrifying! lol.

I was of the Cabbage Patch generation. I wanted one SOOOOOOO bad. When I finally got it I was just a little too old but I still have her!
Also for dolls there was the Strawberry Shortcake doll that blew strawberry scented kisses- I got rid of her a couple years ago when she started blowing moldy kisses instead.
I loved rainbow bright, she-ra and he-man, anything thundercats (hoooo), and I would have given anything to have a pound puppy, a popple, or legos.

I loved the spirograph. I think if I could find one now I'd still love it.

Ohh ya..I had a Pound Puppy and legos!! I wasnt really into legos though..lol. I had a play kitchen too.

OH man! Do I ever remember my best friend..... Laurie Walker Doll! Being so tiny (still a short thing) my family used to kid that she was taller than I was! I got her the same Christmas my brother got his first Tonka truck!

Cars/trucks in the backyard dirt villages we used to build!
Rubiks Cube and snake!
a loom weaver we made potholders out of!
those plastic strings we made key chains out of!

Jack in the box (when I was little)
Sit n Spin!
The GREEN MACHINE! (Those were the bomb!)
Operation!

Now mind you, in those days we didn't spend much time in the house in front of the tv... we spent it outside playing...

Cops and robbers,
cowboys and indians,
building forts,
hide n seek

and as you got older who can forget the nights spent at the beach flirting with the guys!!!!!!!!

• Legos
• Tinker Toys
• Chinese Jump Rope
• Marbles
• Origami Paper
• Barbies
• Battleship
• Candy Land
• Connect Four
• Playmobil
• Play Doh
• My dad's race car track
• My dad's model train set (yes, I got in trouble for the last two, but it was fun!)
• And I also miss games like Four Square, Redlight/greenlight, Ghost In The Graveyard, Kickball, etc.

One of the reasons I look forward to having kids is so that I can play with THEIR toys, lol.

I was born in the mid70's, so I had a 70's and 80's childhood:

~Cabbage Patch Kids (I had about a dozen of them!)

~Lite Brite

~Charmkins (do you guys remember those? Little figurines that smelled like flowers, I had a little display thing for them, too.

~Monchichi

~Spirograph

~Colorforms (I remember my cousin had the KISS rock band Colorforms...)

~Lincoln Logs

~Bristle Blocks (Anyone remember THOSE?)

~Strawberry Shortcake (I never got over that fetish...I have some from the 80's still sealed in the box in a display, including Purple Pieman!)


Drum roll please....my FAVORITE when I was a kid:

Milky The Marvelous Cow!!! Here is the commercial:

What?! No one else had a Mrs. Beasley Doll?!

Come on now, 'fess up. She was my favorite. I wonder what ever happened to her.

Oh. My. That has to be the UGLIEST doll I think I have ever seen.



Honestly, I would rate it up with ventrouliquist dolls....I wouldn't have slept with that doll in my house!

Katie! I remember Lemon up!!!

I am going way back on these toys....

Remember the little metal hand held contraption that had the wheel that spun up and down either side? I forget what it's called but I loved it.

Baby Beans? (She was pink and white polka dots with yellow hair - and filled with Beans - I know because my brother cut her open to see)

Betsy Wetsy

Chinese Jump Rope

Silly Putty

Stretch Armstrong!?!

Evil Kneival motorcycle that you zipped with the plastic zipper on the stand and made him go?

Big Wheels (2nd to the green machine)

Holly Hobby and her sister Heather

Toss Across

Total Nostalgia! Great thread....

I've got a brand new pair of roller skats, and you've got a brand new key." Anyone remember that song? We heard it on our trip and I had to explain it to my daughter (although didn't explain the sexual connotation!).

I loved clackers!!! I had the bruises on my forearm to prove it!

Chinese checkers
Monopoly (for hours and hours in the basement on a hot summer day)
cards games like War and Canasta
I loved the Game of Life and bought it for my kids--I can't remember it being that BORING!

Check out the Vermont Country Store website, they revive a lot of old-time products including toys. This year they have the clackers (with plastic balls so they don't break), Mrs. Beasley, Easy-Bake and Lite Brite, among others

Yep.. we are close in age. I still have the Chrissy doll and she still is wearing the orange lace dress too. She is buried in a shed someplace with the rest of my dolls. Yes clackers were dangerous, but what fun!

Did you have a toot a loop? That was the radio shaped like a donut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panason...t-a-Loop_Radio I still have mine.. in bright yellow!

My mother made me give away my Kiddles when I was younger because I had too many dolls. It was either keep the barbies or the kiddles. Have you ever checked Ebay and seen how much those little dolls are worth? I should tell her how much she made me thorw away!!

I'm going to keep looking for the name of the hoop and bell toy..it is making me nuts that I cannot remember it

I forgot about Stratego...did anyone else like that game?
