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
Misses Beasley! I had one. She was great. I also remember what fun we had with clackers, slinkys, and etch a sketches!

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
My favorite was a Thumbelina doll. She moved just like a real baby.
Of course, I love playing army nurse (Barbie) with my brother and his G.I. Joe's. He had the whole army theme going on - - tent, jeep, etc. We played for hours in the backyard making an army camp. Years later when we extended our patio - dad dug up all sorts of plastic army men we had used!

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 had these plastic space alien monsters that I used to play with when I was about 3 or 4.
I was very fond of my LEGO's, generic linkin logs, "Construx", frisbees and Matchbox Cars. I loved breaking rocks with rocks too.

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
Lost in Space was my Favorite TV show.
I made a Jupiter2 from cardboard and a Space Pod from balsa wood and cardboard.
I wrote my own comics (my art was awful).
I made clothes for my GI Joe and my sister's Barbie.
I had a real Erector set with motors and gears.
My sister and I had real Dam Dolls, not Wishniks but the ones that had Dam carved into the doll's back.
We built cities out of cardboard and made elevators out of milk cartons!
Army men!!!! Shot with my Daisy BB gun!
Major Matt Mason, I wrangled a barter with some kids for these two and a partial space station!
I got a Mattel's THING MAKER and made MORE Army men to shoot!!!!
