What was your favorite toy...

Candyland, my stick horse, Barbie, her friend Midge, tea sets and crawdads.

Here was another fav of mine, Lincoln Logs.

I am trying to find a pic of my favorite toy. It was Rocket Shoes. Kind of like skates but had springs on the bottom. I could bounce like tigger all over our large yard, down by the creek and everywhere. I don't know what happened to them. Can't remember them breaking but I'm sure they didn't last long. I saw them on Back to the Future when he went back to the 50's someone was bouncing down the street with them on. See is anyone can find a pic for me.

Crissy doll!

More of my favorites, Viewmaster, Tinker Toys, and Mr. Potato Head!

Crissy doll!

Dang my hair looks like that! My mom still has a Crissy doll, my daughter was scared of it when she was little.

:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:​

DAM* your old!!!!! J/K...;-)

Here is my favorite....Baby Go Bye Bye....I had her up until my last move. I am not sure what happened to her.



And her little buggy she rode it.



ktschris, you are a bad girl. ;-) Yep, that is my favorite toy now.

I still could play for hours with Colorforms. Though I am shocked that my childhood game now costs $30!!! My parents sure didn't spend that kind of money on me back then.

I loved my Chatty Cathy and Shirley Temple dolls (wish my mother had kept them) but I would play checkers with my grandmother for hours.

Crissy doll!

OMgosh, I had Velvet and my sister had Baby Chrissy. Loved 'em.

I mainly played outside, treehouse, digging for worms & bugs, and setting up forts (ok I was a major tomboy ) but

I loved this Wizard of Oz board game, clue, silly puddy,

I am now figuring out that I can not remember much....I guess those brain cells are gone

I BD, I too was a tomboy. Always played with the boys. Flag football, baseball, basketball, climbing the tallest trees you could imagine. Making mud pies. Riding bikes. Didn't play inside much. My brother and I used to build forts also.

Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker (still have it and the molds); Tinkertoys and Matchbox cars:clap_1:

oh my gosh - i completely forgot about creepy crawlers - loved them !!!

and mermy - i too was addicted to colorforms !!!

This is my favorite........I loved Lincoln logs and Tinker toys too.

I loved my doll collection, especially the Madame Alexanders. I kept them carefully arranged in my bookshelves. I would dress the dolls up and vicariously be a bride, a princess, a ballerina, a fashion model. I secretly aspired to be Miss America, and my friends and I would have make-believe talent contests with the dolls and choose which doll was the new Miss America.

When I went away to college, my brother and sister pulled off my dolls' arms and legs, cut their hair, painted their faces black, and tore up their clothes.

That is terrible.

When I would come stay at Jfunn's house her step sister Katie (who's room I would have to stay in) had all those Madame Alexander dolls and being a girl who never had them- like I said Barbies and Cabbage Patch Kids- I felt like they were watcing me. It scared me so bad...

BR, that is horrible. I was going to ask if you still had them until I read that. Were they jealous of your dolls or what?
I have about 6 dolls that were like MA's (imitations probably) that my mom always ordered from the Sears catalog. I loved looking at then and changing their clothes. I thought they were the most beautiful thing ever. I always thought I'd save them for my daughter someday. She could care less.

it's really hard to remember much way back then. but I do remember the following favorite toys/things to do:

Barbie
Doll house
Dolls galore
Monopoly and a zillion board games
Cards - crazy 8's, hearts, old maid, anything!
arts and crafts - like those hook rugs, or crotchet, or needle point.
playing in the woods
riding bikes

watching TV: gilligan, brady bunch, Dark Shadows

oh, and listen to Donny Osmond records. and Michael Jackson.

My sister had Donnie and Marie dolls and the stage to with them. When Marie cut her hair short, I gave Marie a haircut too. My sister was not happy. I still heart Donnie Osmond. I saw him in Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and fell in l all over again.

I had his poster hanging on my bedroom wall and dreamt of marrying him...

I have no clue why they tore them up. Mother just let them do whatever they wanted - they were terrors - because she apparently had severe depression. My dad dropped dead unexpectedly of a heart attack at 54 (she was 44) and left her with a 6-year-old, an 8-year-old, and a college freshman 500 miles away (Tulane). I didn't know how bad things were at home until my sister told me a few years ago.

Except for American Girl dolls, my daughter's like yours - she never cared much for her "fancy" dolls. She still is more of a stuffed animal person. I promise you that Nala (from The Lion King) will be with her on her honeymoon!

Kimmi, it's really sad that you were frightened by those dolls.
