Toys from your childhood

in Parenting after 35

Anyone remember these:

Dancerella: I remember getting down on my knees & begging my aunt/godmother to buy this doll for me for Christmas. I was lucky enough to get her.

Then there was the Holly Hobby Easy Bake Oven. Same aunt bought it for me as a bday gift one year. My mom could've killed her, since I cooked EVERYTHING in there. I think the last straw was when I tried to cook little pieces of bacon in it.

    I never had the Easy Bake Oven but I did have the pans and mixes and my mom let me use the toaster oven to make the cakes in.  She did not see the sense of buying a box with a lightbulb in it when I could use the oven.

    I remember those but never had either. My fondest memories are of my Tonka truck and Lincoln Logs.

    Somewhere in the basement, there's a box with my Barbie camper, my Barbie, Ken and Farrah Fawcett doll.  My cousin and I were obsessed with Charlie's Angels and both got the dolls for Christmas one year.

    Oh yeah, I also have a few Josie West Dolls. Anyone remember those?

    I had a Barbie but also had her little sister/cousin (?) Skipper. And when you rotated her arm in a circle, she grew bewbies. True story.

    Sorry, Bridebuddies, not trying to be snarky at all, who is Josie West?

     

    No Hollyhobbie oven, but the doll for sure. I even had a mini doll of her. And Barbie stuff? We had some (sp?) psychadelic furniture for them and also wicker furniture. Totally late '70's early '80's influence. lol.

    I had the Holly Hobby easy Bake Oven.  I loved it.  I had a ton of Holly Hobby stuff.  My cousin had Dancerella and I loved playing with it.

    Hey,   I remember Josie West...she had a turquoise plastic body and plastic/vinyl accessories.  I had one!

    I had a gigantic Holly Hobby and then a mini one also, that went with a pocketbook. And I had Holly Hobby sheets and a mug and bowl.  Oh how I loved her.

    I still have this doll....my mom just handed it to me, box and all when I went to visit her the other day.  Anatomically correct baby boy - Archie Bunker's grandson!!  I remember I loved him SO much!

    I was a big ET fan.  I wore ET shoelaces in my pigtails to school in the 6th grade.

    Remember "Stretch Armstrong"? My Dad and stepbrother were pulling my arms one day, just horsing around, and I think my shoulder popped out or something freaky.

    Take a chance. Take a risk. Take the initiative. Make your wishes a reality and make your dreams come true!

    I usually just lurk on this board but had to chime in b/c I had both of these! I had completely forgotten about Dancerella, though. Thanks for the memory! :-)
