Favorite Childhood Toys

[Mercysmom]

1964 for me...

I had a stuffed Woody Woodpecker that talked when you pulled the string - my grandpa gave him to me when I was three and I was terrified of Woody. I still have him - he can't talk any more but he is still loved.

The Fisher Price Teaching Clock was my favorite - loved the sound it played. Was furious when my mom gave mine away when I was ten but thanks to eBay, I have a new one that plays the same song.

: Wish I had it for my boys when they were little as they both loved "tick tock clocks".

I loved baby dolls - still have one that was dressed in an elf outfit and one that played Rock a Bye Baby. Always liked the ones with quiet sleeping faces - also had a doll with two faces that terrified me - one sad face and one happy face. Never found out where she ended up... she had a soft plush body that I liked to hug.

A Marx pull toy duck - he was huge and quacked when he rolled along....

A Fisher Price iron that played "This is the way we wash our clothes..."

The Fisher Price telephone that had a rotary dial - my kids had one before they discontinued it.

Breyer horses and the "Best of the West" series...

Last, but not least was my rocking horse. I vividly remember climbing out of my bed in the middle of the night just to ride... and my mom would have to put me back to bed.

Great thread... fun to remember....

So far, I see I'm the oldest here..........!@#$%#$%$%^&*()_)($%^&*

Mona!

My favorite was a big "walking doll". She must have been close to 3' tall and you would hold her hands and she would "walk".

She was called "Patty Play Pal" and I loved mine dearly.

I just wanted to be a mommy, so I had many dolls. I had cribs and strollers and a doll carriage and spent hours washing them and putting ribbons in their hair and playing dress up with their large assortment of clothing. I also had a doll size kitchen where I could "cook" for them. I wanted boys so I pretended half of them were boys. How ironic.

My other favorite toys were

my stick horse

a ball

a jump rope

a slinky

silly putty

a bicycle

I amused myself for hours and didn't have to be entertained

No Marty, you aren't the oldest one on here! Appylover and I are. Her birthday is next week, and mine is the end of July, so she has me beat by a couple of weeks. Anyway, my favorite toys were my doll, and all the furniture that went with her. I still have her and her highchair in the spare bedroom. Other favorites were my Dale Evans outfit with the fringed skirt, the boots and the pistol and holster. My grandfather's 22 rifle that he taught me to shoot with, and took me "hunting" with all the time. My cane pole that he took me fishing with, taught me to fish, and clean fish, and my horse "Buck". Such sweet memories! You'd never know my grandpa was my favorite person ever would you?
