Wow Linda-you brought back even more memories so I am guessing we are about the same age. I LOVED Kiddles..especially the ones in the perfume bottles and locket necklaces and I had all of the Dawn dolls and their outfits-I am going to have to look at mine when I go home for Thanksgiving. And yes, I had Velvet and Chrissy too...I loved the Orange lace dress that Chrissy came in. And I almost cracked our living room TV with my clackers! I had that hoop and bell too but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me..
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.
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!!!!!!!!
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!
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
