Mannnnnn I could play with that lite brite all day. I don’t even know why it was so exciting, really lol. Did you take the ring toss game with you whenever your family had you go on the road somewhere? I took mine whenever I had to visit my Granny lol. It was a “car toy” for me.

lol exactly! I was looking for this one toy that I could NOT find but tell me if you remember it. It was a portable “drivers seat/dash” thingy that would sit on your lap. It would make sounds, you could fake start it up, had a wheel, a gear shift, blinkers…

Yes! I can’t shake the memory of it. I remember it being the first time I was ever emotional about the loss of something. My mom threw it away and I never forgave her (well…eventually I did but not back then)

I’m glad it todok you back too! When the Gameboy came out – the toy industry was changed forever haha. I was late though – I didn’t get the Gameboy until everyone else had a Game Gear.

o0o I loved MK. Did you ever play Punchout or Doom? I was always into fantasy play games like dollhouses, diaries, mall madness, etc. I liked anything where I could just pretend. Hmmm not much has changed haha

I don’t remember anything about MK, just the ability to freeze. Lol, and I don’t remember punchout or doom. I don’t remember playing pretend…except one time I had a tea set that I went out side and played by myself. My mom yelled at me that day because I came in sniffing…got sick after that I’m sure. It was mid winter lol. Keep playing pretend though lol

Well! My favorite childhood toys were Easy Bake Oven, Uno, Electronic Simon, and my Cher head that suctioned to the floor or table as I styled her shoulder length hair. I loved that toy!!!!! Lol. And I couldn’t get enough of Simon, especially in the dark was the coolest! One other favorite of mine growing up was large coloring books that were so big I had to lay them on the floor to actually color in them! Good times! Good times!😄

Omg the coloring books were amazing weren’t they?! I loved my crayon collection. I was never a color pencil girl. You know they came out with Simon again, right? I bought a mini version

Soooooo true! Crayons all the way! ;) And yes, I bought the mini! Wanted to share the love and gave it as a gift. 🎵 back in the day when I was young, not a kid anymore; it’s a shame. I wish I was a kid again. 😂
