I felt so guilty for not learning to play it. Thankfully the parents saw that and it went to a musical family in short order. I didn't have the option of boy toys but I really envied my brothers Lionel train set and slot cars! Mostly I used my money for costumes and theater props. So costumes were probably my next favorite toy after the bank. I didn't buy them I harvested them and reattached them into something workable.

The person that was It had to kick the can, and while they
went to fetch it and place it back where it was, all of us would hide.
In the event anyone was captured, any person that was still hidden
could run and kick the can again, yelling AlleeAlleeInComFreeeeeee!
The captured could then run and hide again!

Our street games seem so much more brutal but some were *nice*.
*Kingy* was like an initiation.... Once you could be part of Kingy, you got to do all sorts of other things in the *village heirarchy*. You had to have some balls to be in the middle of Kingy.

Cricket was a huge biggy, but only boys got to play seriously. Even though half of us girls could bowl, bat and field far better! We were relegated to pouring tea and passing scones. I spent my summers sat in a tree hoping RS would drop an easy catch and half-hoping he'd bat like a demon!

He did bat horribly well but he still didn't deserve my child-like loyalty come rain or shine..lol

Anyhow, he could never catch a newt :)
Oh, such delicious, painful, delightful, frustrating childhood times.

American Girl dolls later in my preteens-ish years, but that didn't last long, either), i liked My Little Pony, i even liked/still like LEGOs, and "homemade" toys (the trashbag kites sound awesome)... but i think i'll always be a stuffed animal kind of girl.

i can remember a stuffed "musical" unicorn from when i was very small that played the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (i think that was it, anywho)... i loved that unicorn, Morgan. :) He was... well, woah! He was very similar to this fellow (i think his back legs were facing forwards rather than back out behind him, if anything... his coloring might have been different, too, on his mane, hoofs).

i also have a "white" stuffed bunny i've had since i was about 12/13-ish who's also special to me.

Kinda disappointed I didn't come up with this myself. All the toys in the world are little more than tools, vehicles for your imagination.

Man, this thread really makes me want to go on ebay and find some of my old toys. It'll give me something to do while my knee heals, I can rebuild my ghostbuster collection.

Tonka truck...not the plastic shit ones today but the indestructible metal ones they used to sell


No matter what disagreements we may have had in the past... no matter what disagreement we may have in the future... know that on this issue we are in complete accord - I LOVED MY TONKA TRUCK! Man, I beat the shit outta the thing and that only made it better. It made it look like a real dump truck... with dents and rust spots and everything.

I miss my Tonka truck.

I tend to visit antique stores rather frequently and there is on not far from my house that had about 10 various Tonka vehicles for amazing prices. They were all in excellent condition so I bought them out. My grandsons adore them and cannot break them like they can the plastic crap sold today.

MY favourite toys in list of importance/favourite

#1 has to be books
#2 art supplies, especially the BIG box of crayons......omg that was such an amazingly wonderful treat to get a brand new big   box of crayons.
#3 Breyer horses
#4 Calamity Jane, Bart and the ranch
#5 the Barbies that I made slaves to Calamity Jane and company.

Heheh I tied up my next door neighbour to his cherry tree when I was seven with my jump rope. Then I went home up to my sisters room and watched him out of the window as he cried and strugggled. I dont think his mum ever gave me back my jump rope!!

Oh yeah, anything that exploded was always fun! Cans of hairspray, paint anything in an aerosol can.
One time we stole a big rope from a construction site and made a "Tarzan" swing on the side of a hill tieing the rope off of a huge limb on a big tree.
We had a blast!
One time a wimpy kid who's parents didn't want him hanging around with us took a big swing out on the rope fell off of it and broke his arm.
That night his father came down, climbed up the tree to cut the rope off fell out of the tree and broke his leg! lol
