1. close and play record player 2. ker plunk 3. jacks 4. big ole yellow tonka dump truck lol 5. barbies (wish i still had some of those.. would be worth something prob) 6. dont break the ice 7. dont spill the beans 8. cinnimon( doll with red hair and if you pushed in the belly button you could make her hair longer with a pull lol) 9. clackers 10. pet rock when i was 11 lol any of you have any fond memories of toys from your past?? |
Pet rock - - lol I remember those cause I had one!
Rock'em Sock'em Robots Mouse Trap Matchbox cars (my all time favorite toy as a kid) Rubik's cube - couldn't do it then, can't do it now GI Joe - I never had a Ken doll so I used my brother's GI Joe (w/duct tape to keep the arm on) instead Easy Bake Oven and Incredible Edibles |
she-ra and he-man are my faves lol my daughter has my moms midge, ken and skipper dolls but they def aren't worth money after being in my kid's hands lol
|
I loved Barbies (never had a Ken doll so we used my brother's GI Joe)
Rock'em Sock'em Robots Troll dolls Jacks esp. at school Chinese jumpropes Hot Wheels Monopoly Mousetrap Easy Bake Oven Lots of dolls CandyLand Chatty Cathy (my favorite) |
Oh funny. I just flashed back to spending summers at my grandmother's place and the things we used to play together.
Mousetrap LiteBrite Pickup Sticks Lemon Twist Chinese checkers And anyone remember that marble game - similar to a Chinese checkers board with marbles, but the goal was to get just one marble left in the center? I used to play that for HOURS. My grandmom could win it every time. |

Barbies. Beanie Babies. My little Pony Shoots and Ladders Those little electronic animals that you fed and stuff... Legos |
I had 2 Barbies (one blonde, one brunette) but never a Ken, Skipper (Growing Up or otherwise) or Midge, or any of her peripherals; I had a Charmin' Chatty which was a talking doll with records you could change. And I had Tinkertoys and (all this in the 60s mind you) some toy cars and a toy wild-west gun (!) Hmmm, after all these years I've kind of forgotten most of the toys I had (I think a lot of them went unopened)

My dolls were my favorite toys...barbie, Ken, Midge, Francie, Skipper, Tammy, Ted, etc. I still have all of my dolls at my moms house along with my multiple cases of clothes. Other faves:
1. Spirograph 2. Hula Hoop 3. Roller skates (remember the ones you strapped onto your shoes and adjusted with a key?) 4. Slinky 5. Easy Bake oven 6. Sorry, Parcheesi, Tip It, Monopoly, Life All of my toys are still in great shape in my moms basement, along with my other two sisters toys. I try to convince my mom to sell them on ebay...some of them are worth a FORTUNE |
Kiddles - little tiny dolls that came in all sorts of things.. tiny soda bottles, jewelry lockets. etc
Barbies - I still have a bunch of mine. Green Ghost - a glow in the dark board type game Chrissy - yank the blonde hair out the top of her head to make it longer and then use the dial on her back to make it shorter. Operation - i hated that game. You touched the sides of the game the wrong way and it made this Gawd awful BUZZZ The game of Life Clackers Dawn dolls Legos The Masterpiece Game - you bought paintings? I liked this game.. cant remember why There was this toy - cannot remember the name. It was a small yellow hoop you wore around one ankle. Attached to the hoop was a long line and a red bell shapped platic thing at the end. you spun this thing around one ankle and hoped over it with the other foot.. The really coordinated girls had one going on each ankle.. not me |
Linda,
I remember something called Lemon Up that sounds similar but I guess the plastic thing had to have been yellow. This was a hit, along with hopscotch. Clackers - oh gosh, I saw a set recently and they were dangerous. I can still recall the bruises on my hands. My favorite Barbie had painted on hair and three wigs you could use - blond, brunette and redhead. How about Mystery Date, Twister, etch-a-sketch, hula hoops - maybe I'm too old. ;) Katie |
