This new IE ad, "Child of the 90s" (clicky) made me nostalgic (even though I'm a child of the 80s).
PIP your favorite childhood toy or object.
Hard to pick just one, but I'm gonna go with:
I had this one as a kid, and she somehow got lost in a move when I was in 7th grade. I was devastated! My sister found me a replacement at a yard sale, and gave it to me at my bridal shower! It was the best gift!
Re: Throwback: Fav. childhood toys
I can't find a picture of my play kitchen, so I'm going with this:
I loved my cabbage patch too, Red! His name was Christopher Robin and I still have him!

I loved my Teddy Ruxbin
This Barbie Town House has been updated since the 90's but I spent hours playing with mine.
I couldn't start a new school year without my Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers!
But my all time favorite was my Cabbage Patch doll. Technically, I got her in the early 80's but I loved her so I had to mention her. Mine doll's name was Martha Faye & I still have her.

My brother and I used to fight every time the Lite-Bright came out of the closet. Apparently, agreeing on what to make wasn't our strong point.. neither was compromising. Eventually moms took it away forever. ::le sigh::

My favorite toys were my popples! I have the one pictured and the small one that had plastic legs. I gifted them to DD about 2 years ago. I did have the Barbie dream house it was cardboard and didn't survive me moving from my mom's to my dad's when I was 6 or 7
Cricket!
Although, she totally freaked me out at night and I had to lock her in the closet.
Omg Red, what were these called?! I had the pink/yellow one and my bro had the teal seahorse looking thing. It's going to drive me nuts now..

PGAL/PAL always welcome
I love this thread!!!
My absolute favourite was Barbie! I actually still have them all. But my grandma bought me the Christmas one every year, and my mom is carrying on that tradition so I have every Christmas one ever made - still in boxes.
My other favourites were the original littlest pet shops, I had a popple (who I loved!), pogoballs, skipits, and fashion plates.
Wuzzles! I used to have a board game of the Wuzzles. My dad found one (not the same one) and gave it to me a few years ago!

WUZZLES! There was a TV show. I don't remember all their names, but I do remember BumbleLion.
TMI Wuzzle story: One year, we were celebrating Christmas at my Grandma's house in Virginia, and my sister and I both got a pair of Wuzzles slippers. Mine lasted all of like 2 days because I got...ahem..."sick". I was so sad

Oh, I loved Barbie! I can't believe you were restrained enough to leave them all in the boxes! We always opened ours, even the nice ones. You might be a rich woman one day!
I had tons of Polly pockets! All original ones, not the giant ones. I guess we didn't put as much sh?t in our mouths back them. Lead based paint anyone?
Some of my favorites when I was smaller..

I had that Little People house!! Actually my mom still has 2 of them in her daycare (25 years later!) They made those toys to last.
AHHHH!!! I was waiting for someone to say this! LOVED skipit. I was pretty awesome at it, just saying
I still have all my barbies! I actually have this exact one too, but not in the box. I never had the self restraint for that. This thread is bringing up so many memories...
My brother and I are close in age, so I played with a lot of boy things too. Anyone know what these are?
We also had a TON of these:
But I was still a bit of a girly girl, and I loved my Puppy Surprise!
Love this thread!!
Omg! I loved all of these.
Ya'll are killing me! I am loving this thread.
#1: My first thought was to totally google those plastic clip-on charm necklaces. I had so many and was obsessed with them.
#2: Agree with Lite Brite, Little People (although I loved the farm and fire station the best), My Little Pony, Rainbow Bright, and Strawberry Shortcake,
#3: I am completely jealous of all you ladies that had fashion plates. That and the Sit and Spin were 2 toys that I always wanted but never had.
#4: I will say I had a KILLER Barbie collection with a ridiculous amount of clothes for them to change into (including homemade clothes from when my mom was little):
Peaches and Cream Barbie and Magic Moves Barbie were my favorites, but I think I had like 20.
Also, this squirrel thing:
And I have no idea what these are called, but they had pop on clothes:
Loved Rainbow Brite!
We did not have a lot of money, so I had the cool 1970s Easy Bake Oven... my parents must have picked it up at a garage sale because it has a $1.00 price sticker on the box (yes, I still have it, lol)
And my Kermit Puppet!
I loved Fashion Plates!
