Real Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, Legos, Chrissy, Cinnamon and Velvet dolls with adjustable hair, Mr. Potato Head, Dawn dolls, Spirograph, LiteBrite, Perfection, Fisher-Price Garage and Village....so fun. And a Sears Christmas catalog.
Man, our neighbors 2 girls and me and my 2 sisters used to play dolls together, we all brought our dolls to their house and traded, there were actual FIGHTS over Baby Chrissy!
I was born in 66’ I remember grandma would hand us grandkids (8 of us) the Sears Christmas catalogue and give us a $10.00 limit, we had so much fun going through it and picking out our gifts, I remember my cherished baby doll one year and a Cher doll another year. We only got one thing but it was a very wanted item and we were all happy. 👍🏻 🎄
Another fun toy were the bubble toys. Had water in them and you pressed a button that sent bubbles to move rings to land on hooks at various levels. Thank you for memories.
@@ferociousgumby 😂 lol!my mom MADE her own version for us, but I preferred Kleen Klay: a petroleum based modeling clay that didn't dry out as i was the sculptor of the family. I would recognize Kleen Klay by its smell, if they still make it..
@@hereticpariah6_66 Oh yes!!! We made our own Play Doh, my grandkids and me, but it always dried out. Personally I preferred modelling with Plasticine, which was oil-based and never dried out.
My sister got shrinky dinks. One year she got Popeye glitter cards and I got a circus color book with a huge box of water colors. My mom was the best. She always had the best presents under the tree. We NEVER got a toy or gift just for going to the store with mom. Actually, we NEVER went to a store with mom. Now, I go to dollar store with my granddaughter and am guilty of usually letting her get something. It's best not to take kids to these Mish mash of everything stores.
Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Operation, Don't Break The Ice, Electronic Battleship, Nerf Footballs, Clackers, Etch a Sketch, Sea Monkey's, and who could forget all those great toys at the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks?
WOW Very nostalgic !!! I have experienced most of the games listed here when I was a child. I also remember "Mouse Trap", "Jaws" "Smash up Derby" "Stretch Armstrong" "Meccano" "Lego" "Fisher Price record player" and many others. Thank for sharing these memories
I remember Tinker Toys, wooden blocks, die cast hot wheels cars, coloring books, battleship, Chinese Checkers and a board game called Mouse Trap, and a lot of Barbie Dolls.
Oh lord, Perfection. That game was far more stressful than it should have been. And yet I loved it. Miss the the old Little People designs. One of my favorite sets was a car and camper that had a motorcycle too. The camper folded out with a cloth top.
I remember the little people I had the jeep and camper and motorcycle and also the view finder as well and i actually think I still have them well I should say if there still there in my mom and dad house in the attic and the car crash station can't remember when it came out
In 1971 I asked for a Raggedy Ann for Christmas. I got her and I still have her to this day. My aunt made her. I became a diabetic a month later at the age of 6. She helped me get through a very scary time.
My grandmother wanted to get me one when I was born in 1979 but couldn't find one. Instead I got a cloth doll with my name on her apron. For years I'd look for a Raggedy Ann, but they were always too expensive in antique stores. Finally in my late 30s, I was going to buy an ornament version in a thrift store when I turn around and there's a hand made Raggedy Ann for 10 dollars. You bet she can't home with me.
We had a few of the Weebles sets, loved them so much! We had very few toys when we were kids, being fairly poor but weebles and Fisher Price family sets (school house, farm etc…) were toys my parents got us for Christmas and Birthdays (along with tinker toys and Lincoln Logs). We got $1.00 for allowance each week and I would always get a matchbox car from the drugstore after Church. It was fun being a kid back then. (born in 66’)
I loved the sun catchers for kids . You would buy the outline of choice my favorite Strawberry Shortcake and fill it in with the colored granules then bake them. The good old days !
I was born in 1963, yet some of these toys I've never heard of. That being said, spirograph has always been one of my favorites. I have one. I also had a View Master and would spend hours looking through it. I had a reel of Disneyland features. One of them showed a futuristic display at Disneyland that was sponsored by the aerospace plant, McDonnell Douglas. Interestingly, I married a rocket scientist whose first job after college was McDonnell Douglas. MD is no longer, and that display is no longer at Disneyland. I have a 36 year old daughter whose favorite toy was, and still is, Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Are you talking about the Disneyland ride into the atoms and molecules? I went to Disneyland as a kid once when they had the tickets per ride, but that one was free and so cool.. It's been long gone.
I was very careful: Easy-Bake Oven, Turquoise. I also had a baton, a "Lite Brite" , a Horseman baby doll, a Pogo Stick, we had "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, and yes, "View Master" and reels.
I have a Gumby and Pokey! When I travel, my husband often sneaks them into my suitcase so I'm not alone 😅 Sometimes we hide them on each other and they pop up in coffee mugs, sock drawers, etc. Guess we never grew up 😂
@@flowerfaeri So what's wrong with not wanting to grow up and wanting to have some fun? You both are kids at ❤. Life can get so serious sometimes. So why not have some fun once and a while? 😉🤭☺️
Etch-a-sketch, Easy-Bake Oven, Operation, Rock'em Sock'em Robots, Pick-up Sticks, Jacks (with metal jacks and good balls), Pet Rocks (well, kinda), Doll Houses and their furniture and people (and sometimes electricity), Chemistry sets, Barbie dolls (not me, though). Also, non-toys: dress-up, bike riding, skateboard riding, climbing trees and hills/cliffs (without handles and a soft mat).
Oh my gosh! This was the best! It brought back so many great memories. I hadn’t thought about some of these in such a long time! The handheld games, the Caleco race car game, and I want my baby come back doll again! Thank you for this!
IHey remember Dapper Dan, helped with learning button, zipper, snaps too, would like to see all my toy's again,for 0:00 child hood good memories,we lost our toy's when our parent got sick.Sand toy's for beach fun too 🌸
A great wind blew across the open field. All the cows fell down. One cow looked at the bull and asked why he didn't fall down? He simply answered...We bulls wobble...but we don't fall down!
Litebrite was my favorite. For one thing, I actually had one. I did not usually get what I asked for and if I did get a toy, it was a hand me down. I did get a Lite asBrite and it was new, in the box, and I loved it as much as I thought I would. I had some spirographs too, I liked using those with colored pencils, for some reason they put my mother in a bad mood. I think she tossed them.
Big yellow metal Tonka trucks in a sandbox or back yard was great! Barrel of monkeys and plastic pickup sticks was always fun. Really liked my cowboys and Indians plastic soldier sets. Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them. Speaking of cowboys let’s not forget cap guns that looked like real firearms and shot caps and could smell the gunpowder and see the smoke.
I remember one boy said he was gonna shoot me with his cap gun in 4th grade, 😂. I had a blue one, and I remember the strips you inserted. I do think they had to make them in colors other than black so they couldn’t be mistaken for the real thing.
yessss a sandbox is a magical thing for kids. We destroyed many HotWheels cars getting sand jammed in them. And plastic animals were cool in sandboxes too. cap guns! We liked just smashing the caps with rocks on the sidewalk.
the weebles wobble for like my all-time favorite, besides hungry hungry hippos. Watching this is like take me back to when I was a young kid again and I'm loving it
14:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣what was her name again ? Thanks for making my day😆😆inspiring young women that if you try hard enough many years later a computer will mispronounce your name . Apologies to Lindsay Wagner you still are an inspiration and the character Jamie Sommers 🙂
@@grannyweatherwax8005 My dad was a member of her fan club throughout the 70's and 80's. He supposedly wrote her a letter to tell her about my sisters, but she never responded. Oh well!
Born in 1974 and I think I've played with all of these. I think my favorite was the Lite Brite, but I think I developed my anxiety from Perfection and Simon. Loved the JC Penney's and Sears Christmas catalog, Silly Putty, and the Easy Bake Oven. Ohhh, the memories!
Anyone remember Hot Potato? You set timer and threw to each until buzzer went off? I had one...funny thing is that it was made of plastic and really hard! If you didnt grab right it hurt! Lolol
Im 32. I had half of these toys n loved em in the 90s. ❤ My parents and grandparents made sure me and my sisters knew the fun of older games/toys. Even music. Shows. Ect
I remember having every single one of these at some point when I was a kid and I loved them. In the early 90's my husband finally talked me into letting our sons get Crash Test Dummies...can you imagine?? Toys were so much better in my childhood 🙂
Have always, and will always, say that Weebles were the best toy ever created. They were my favorite toy as a child. My granddaughter has them now, but they aren’t the same. And I could spend hours on my lite bright. Childhood then was awesome.
I got a Hot Wheels Picture Maker for Christmas 1970 and still have it. My twin sister got the Barbie version. I still love cars and she still loves fashion.
Remember 'Slingin' Slot' from 1973? It was an upright green and brown slot machine where you shot metal slugs into a play field like a pinball and the slugs had to fall into holes to score points. My friend had it when we were kids and we played for hours.
Wow take me back memories,, the first 5 they shown I had.. Weebles Wobble and the Little people I had as a toddler they were the best. but I had most of the toy in this not all. man them were the days.
I had woolly Willy in the 60s. It was my favorite toy. Well, one of when the early 70s came along I was becoming a teenager and I did not play with it anymore but I would love one now.
Grew up in the early 2000s and had most of these! Some that were still being made at that time but the others from either my older siblings or parents. They were my favorites! 🤗
Just like vinyl records, three of these toys have made a comeback over the last decade. Lite Brite has returned with the same colorful box art, but I have not seen how it might have changed. Hungry Hungry Hippos has evolved over the years. First the entire set got bigger, especially in the late 80s to mid 90's, but after that it went smaller than the original, to roughly 8 inches square, and the marble injectors receiving plastic coverings for the "on tue go" models. Simon has never gone away. The idea behind it continues to go strong and has definitely evolved in simultaneously simple and complicated ways. Several video games even incorporate it in their own fashion. One of these is World Of Warcraft's dance competition during the Darkmoon Faire monthly event.
Don't say! Some were taken off the market because health and safety deemed them too dangerous for kids today and then they were replaced with violent games . Hmm, I know which one I would prefer to grow up with ,the ones that aided imagination and creativity. Roll on 70's toys .
00:45 I think that's a very young Ricky Schroeder! 08:10 I think that's Jason Alexander. Baby Come Back looks a bit like Bindi Irwin when she was a kid. I had a lot of these toys. This really took me back! Thanks for the lovely trip down memory lane!💜💜💜
Aww.....I miss all these toys from my childhood. I like how you explained how these toys educated/ helped children. Ohhhh, how I wish we'd saved my baby brother's Fisher Price McDonalds, school, and auto garage! I also loved my brother's GI Joe and 6 Million Dollar Man dolls---I made them make out with my Barbies.
I had standard Spirograph. Some of those toys I don't recall. Yes, Weebles, Viewmaster, SSP's, Screaming Demon (motorcycle toy), Knit Magic, Light Bright, Slinky, Etch a sketch, Close and play phonograph, Kaleidoscopes, Raggedy Ann, Perfection, Operation, Don't Break the ice, Evel Kneivel, Mousetrap, Battleship (the original non electronic version which I still have), Simon, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tinkertoy, Play doh, Wheel-o, Big Wheel, Ants in the pants, Toss Across, Hungry Hippos, Jukebox Jamboree...
