I have searched high and low for some toys I played with. These are not all of them which makes me think I was spoiled because this appears to be plenty but I had an older brother and toys did get shared between the two of us. So that makes me lucky he shared and smart parents to be so thrifty!
My first record player! Yep folks I have come a long way. These are where the real vinyls came from.
A cruel game that had us sitting down for hours to try and arrange all the colors on the same side. How long did it take for us to figure out removing the stickers and placing them all on the same side went much faster?
Our wheels. The big wheel. I have seen different versions of these now but not sure if they are completely the same. Rest assured we were kings of the roads with these! Spinning wheelies and burning steam.
Practiced my customer service, cash handling and math skills on this. Also helped me learn some colors. Match the money to the correct slot. I always gave back exact change!
Fisher Price has come a long way! Everything seems to be plastic. My toys were a combination of wood, plastic, and metal. I loved the bell on this toy (as much as the moo from the barn) and the ramp was always fun to roll your cars down. I have a different version of this for my son as its relatable to children with the ramp and all not the bell or car elevator.
Getting a box delivered of these childhood vintage toys would be comfort and fun to share with my kids.
What were some of your favorite childhood toys? Did you save any toys to pass onto your kids? Have they survived being passed on?
