I forgot all about Tip It---I ROCKED at that game! And when you mention the Sunday Funnies that reminded me of Silly Putty...you can actually still buy that stuff online

Oh yeah..."stretching" the Sunday funnies with silly putty

I loved my little pony and Lady Lovely Locks...and She-Ra.

You must be around the age of my kids! 25-27 :)

Ooh Can't Forget About Ants In The Pants! That Was Sooo Much Fun Anybody Remember That One, Getting The Ants Into The Blue Pants?

Anyone remember the Tennis Shoe Roller Skates?

i remember that Melanie song about the roller scates. my aunt used to sing that all the time to me when i was a little kid. :)

my favorite game when i was little was kerplunk because i could play it by myself. :C my parents liked to get me games & then never play w/ me.

i wasn't allowed legos cause i had a baby brother, and wasn't allowed play dough because well- it's messy. a couple weeks ago i bought myself a lego set to build a lego trebuchet! it was awesome.

oh! colorforms were one of my faves too. i had a micky mouse one and a smurfs one. <3

oh! i thought of another one i had this gray square math game- it was like speak and say or something? so much fun i dragged that thing around forever.

I had a Speak n Math and a Speak n Spell. They were so much fun! The voice was funny, though.

Ah, now I remember another doll I had when I was little: Hedda Get Bedda! She had a head with three faces (one with measles spots and a little hole in the mouth to put a toy thermometer; one sleepy, and one awake and smiling) and a little knob on top that brought one face into view while the other two were hidden in the bonnet

LindaT, the toy you were talking about reminded me of a Skip-It, although apparently it's just a more modern (late 1980s) Lemon Twist.

Skip-it. Is that the thing you put around your ankle and swing it around and skip over it? It had a weighted ball on one end. I LOVED those!

Going back to the time when the caveman first invented toys...

- A Lassie dog
- Tiny Tears Dolls
- Venus of Paradise Colored Pencil sets - there were pictures you'd color and each part of the picture corresponded to a colored pencil so even a little kid could make these pretty pictures
- Paint on Velvet picture sets
- Tinker Toys building sets
- Chemistry sets. Now that was brilliant - give a little kid unsupervised access to a bunch of chemicals. The things my brother did with a bunsen burner in the "lab" he created in the basement under the stairs. :rolleyes:

I remember being in 5th grade ...1965...and listening to the World Series between my DODGERS and the Twins on my pocket transistor radio...way :cool: cool :cool:

I forgot to add:

Pokemon! I didn't play the game, just collected the cards, haha.
Cabbage patch dolls.

I did so much playing outside that most of my toys were just stuffed animals and barbies, I had a few games here and there but really not too many.

Lindsey.. that's what it looked like. I had mine in the early late 60s early 70s so no idea what it was called then. .. neither of those names ring a bell but that may just because I am senile. :p Thanks for finding this.. yup.. this is what the girls used to use on the play ground. I seem to remember some girls having one on each ankle sometimes and having them both going at the same time. This was so much fun. Hey I bet using this would be good exercise now :D

I found mine.. the search is over.. it was called the Footsie!!! http://www.timewarptoys.com/footsie.jpg Now I an stop trying to figure out what the darned thing was called... it was giving me a headache!
