Toys From Our Childhood

[Ron]

I was just thinking about all of the toys we used to play with when I/We were kids.
Remember Clackers? I use to bang up my arms with that thing.
Hands Down, Cherry Pick, Kerplunk?
Kenner toys?

My daughter has an Easy Bake oven that I know was around when I was a kid.

Do you remember any other toys that you use to play with?

I'm probably the only one who had a brown hair, brown eyed, freckled face Chatty Cathy. I believe she was the first talking doll. It was 1962.

My wife still has her Misses Beasley.

I remember the clackers. That was before people held others responsible for their own safety.

Probably my favorite... I had the whirly bird helicopter

• Rock'em Sock'em robots.
• There was a game where you all started your tops spinning and they battled in an arena.
• Stretch Armstrong
• Hot Wheels
• Etch A Sketch

The whirlybird helicopter was a VertiBird. I got one for Christmas one year, and my dad and brother ran the batteries down before I even got a chance to play with it!!!!!!

I also loved Lincoln Logs.

I bought my wife one for Christmas last year. She had one as a kid and always wished her mother hadn't given it away.

As a side note, one of her friends was the inspiration for the name Chatty Cathy. I can tell you it is still an appropriate name.
