Some toys i had, like the game boards but only wished for the others, my family was poor with all of us 6 kids but received alot of hand me down clothes from cousins which wasnt a bad thing. I cherish alot of memories back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of my prized possessions growing up were a Duncan yo-yo, a Duncan top, and a little bag of marbles with a couple of good shooters. Things were simple then. Anyone remember how much fun a pile of topsoil was? Mom and dad usually left it awhile for the kids to have their fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. New one does also though. When I get older, say, in a few decades, suppose I have some grandkids, I can be all "I remember back in the day when all we had was a good old fashioned Nintendo! What happened to those simple days when a kid knew how to have *real* fun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I remember Tonka trucks and Lincoln Logs, Shogun Warriors, and all kinds of toys that worked off of imagination, something this generation doesn't use very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
