What was your favourite toy while you were growing up?

[binny]

Since were talking about the "severed head" I thought Id pose this question too.


What was your favourite toy as a child?

I think mine was my brothers guitar. I loved playing on that thing! So much so that he bought me a Ukelele (sp?). Not even close! LOL


Oh and also this old junker of a car he bought he "worked" on it for a long time but it made a great slide! shhhhhh I dont think he knows....

I loved playing with my "kitchen set", with a little fridge and stove. They were pretty much made of cardboard (man, kids today don't realize how HIGH-TECH their toys are now!), but I loved them.

I was all about the Barbies!!!!! I had tons and tons of them, plus clothing, cars, all sorts of things. I even had a Barbie limo that had a hottub in the back of it you could put water into!! But my favorite thing was the Barbie A-Frame dream House. I was the only one of my friends to own the Dream House. This picture is one I found off ebay. It looks like the one I had except the parts of the house that are yellow in the picture were a light pink on my house.

I still have all of my Barbie stuff including the Dream house packed up in my mother's garage.

I had a pretty pink phone that I liked to dial "O" on

Mrs. Beasley !!! I have always loved my Mrs. Beasley. I have had so many Mrs. Beasley dolls because I took her everywhere and always seemed to lose her, except the one time she was thrown by a neighbor boy on the roof of our apartments I now have 2 Mrs. Beasley's one original and one from Ashton Drake. DD's both think she's creepy looking. I think she's beautiful.

Mine was Johnny West. I had Johnny and Jane West, but I really had them for the horses. My best friend and I were both horse crazy and we would play with them for hours.

I had Thunderbolt...

Flame...

and Thundercolt.

I had a big wheel which one of the neighborhood kids broke.

I never got the Barbie dreamhouse, but I did get the townhouse! It was made of cardboard(slightly harder than a regular box) and plastic, but I loved it. It had the elevator too. I used to put our kitten in the elevator and make her ride! She didn't cooperate long with that.

And, I always asked my parents for an EZ Bake oven or a Snoopy Sno Cone Machine, but I never got it. Instead, I had Hot Wheels. I had about thirty different Hot Wheels cars and the tracks to play with them on. My grandpa got them for me when my mom was still pregnant, cause, of course, since I had two older sisters, I had to be a boy! Alas, I wasn't but I still loved the cars. My favorite was this one that looked like a shark. I still remember it had New Jersey licence tags on it. I think my dad still has them all somewhere.

I had the townhouse too!! (I really LOVED Barbie )

Found this pic of one from ebay. Mine had a white elevator I think and it had different pictures in the background for the rooms!!

As I replied on you similar thread, my favorite toy had to tbe the old-fashioned JUMP ROPE!

We would spend hours jumping rope and singing all the rhymes that went with it!

And such good exercise too!

I had several favorite "toys" growing up.
1) Baseball cards ..... I could sort, re-sort, and then re-sort them again with no problem. I could get lost in that for days at a time.
2) Any football or baseball that would allow me to be with my friends who had similar tastes.
3) My 10-speed bike (now I have a "mountain" bike). Nothin' like riding a bike to clear your mind from the baseball cards
4) A 3-wheel ATC my dad bought in the early '70's. A lot of fun to ride (yes, dad required helmet use!)!

[color=3300ff]I loved my Cabbage Patch doll. My parents bought him for me right after Shaun (my brother) was born so that would have made me 3. I picked out a boy doll that looked just like my baby brother. He came with a pacifier and even had an outfit that looked just like one Shaun had. The name on the birth certificate was Ernie Redge and I remember my parents telling me I could change it if I wanted to.
That was when the dolls were either bald or had that horrible yarn hair which I thought was ugly. So I got one of the bald babies that resembled my brother.[/color]

Haha!!

No but I was helping her clean her garage out and get ready for a garage sale not too long ago and she was like "are you sure you really want to keep that old Barbie house??" I was like YES !! My mom is really good about keeping a ton of stuff from when I was a kid. I still have all my old childhood books packed away, as well as tons of stuffed animals and other toys. I can say that my rather extensive collection of My Little Ponys is long gone. I have a cousin who is about 9 years older than I am and when she had children she wasn't in a very good financial situation so I remember my family would always buy them new clothes each year and toys. I donated my MLP collection to the cause.

I also had the Barbie Townhouse and my sister had the Barbie Airplane (not like the one they have now) this on was more of a vinyl not the hard plastic. But my favorite toys were my 6 Million Dollar Man Doll - Steve Austin and the Bionic Woman Doll - Jamie Summers- when you turned her head it ticked - bionic hearing, you know! LOL. Those are dolls I played with all the time. The Bionic lived in the Barbie Townhouse not Barbie.

easy bake oven, although now I hate to cook!

 

[Blondie]

My Liddle Kiddles, Chatty Cathy and Barbie!

I used to love my "Chrissy" doll. When you pushed her stomache and pulled her hair, the hair would grow and when you truned the knob on her back you could make the hair short again. My other all time favorite was my "Baby Alive" doll. She would eat this awful food and drink water and then you would have to change her diaper.

We weren't allowed barbies, but I did have the Sunshine Family. There was even a miniature pottery wheel that you could use clay on! LOL! Oh, the 70s!!! The mom had a granny dress, the dad had a turtleneck, don't remember what the kid had. So much fun!

 

[mtemm]

my sister had a Chrissy doll!!! She loved it. My friend had a baby alive. Oh how I wanted one! at least I got to play with it at my friends house.

 

[cindala]

Definitely Legos and Lincoln Logs!! I ws always building something, although I did play with my dolls too!
