  • Oh wow I forgot about Viewmasters! Those were so great!

    I don't really remember much of what I played with when I was young, but I remember loving Lincoln Logs, Barbies and playing Duck Hunt on Nintendo when my brothers let me.

  • I'd have to say for me my favorite toys were barbies, my cabbage patch dolls, pogs and my Gameboy. 
  • Probably Barbies, although most of what I had were actually the Disney dolls (not too many traditional Barbies). I loved "making" homes for them out of random furniture/windowsills and simple DIY clothes (i.e. cut 3 holes in a piece of fabric and tie around her waist). I also had some American Girl dolls, which I know I carefully put away and am excited to be able to pass down. When I was really little I also loved my Matchbox cars.
  • Puppy Surprise! I was so excited when I saw they brought it back. I bought one for my kiddos, but they weren't as enthused.

  • Oh man!  I played a lot of barbies! But like 10+ I played Nintendo 64 with my brothers! Mario party was so much fun!! 
  • Lincoln Logs, Beanie Babies, and Barbies were definitely my childhood go-tos.

  • Beanie Babies and Barbies were my jam!
  • I loooooved my tamagotchi! I bought one for my daughter and she didn’t care for it so I stole it from her 🙃
  • @ramfam2507 yes to the tamagotchi! I almost bought one for myself when they came out again.

    Barbies, beanie babies and the tamagotchi. Around 5 or 6 I loved my little karaoke machine that recorded. 
  • Haha @disgruntled_pelican my sister had a puppies surprise! She asked for it for months and got it for Christmas. 

    We had a lot of outdoor toys, so skates, bicycles, jump ropes, swingset. 

    I remember playing with my stuffed animals and barbies so they were well played. But it was the Baby Alive and the Easy Bake that I remember begging for months for. 
  • @ramzlau omg I had an easy bake and I LOVED that thing so much. I used it all the time and made so many things lol
