Ok a bit of history for some of us older members.

I was thinking back when I was a child and what my favourite toys were and I remembered a few.

So what did you play with as a child?
Oh how things have changed.

My favs were:

Pickup Sticks.


We also collected lolly pop sticks and played the same game.

Jacks



Also played with small stones or shells from the local beach.



Klackers.


Klackers,hours of fun holding the plastic tab and making the two hard plastic domes clash together.Seeing who could make theres klack together the longest and of course the most irritating noise our parents hated.

Snicker, yeah...I was always pulling her head off just as she would say that...

The Wombles of Wimbldon Common.



Rubiks cube

O

G!!!!

Jelly Bean? You are really going to get us to show our ages with this one!!

Great idea tho. I don't have pics, but those Klackers were about the best thing since sliced bread for me..

Remember the 'ol orange baseball pitchback net?

And of course......SLINKY!! C'mon now... you all remember the song, right?
