What kinds of toys did you have when you were a child?

Since I am a girl, I mostly had girly toys. I had Barbie dolls and Ansherina dolls. I used to play with them, given give them real food. It was very stupid of me to give my doll a soup because the next day, my doll's mouth was ruined & eaten by ants. I also had small teacups & sets wherein I play with them with my neighbors.

i had lot of toys, but my favourite toys of all times was Lego System, its an very creative game, and develops your brain, i had lots of lego about 2 big boxes, i have my lego system saved, and offcorse the lego plans..my favourite lego complete is the electronic train...Nowi have 20 years, and when i remember the days when i played with lego, something around my hart i war

I think that children are not really particular on whether their toys are expensive or not. I can't really remember the toys that we played with, all I remember that my female siblings and I each have a barbie doll. What we enjoyed the most, back then, was the also the carton boxes that we use as houses or stores and the indoor baseball games we play. We would run around our living room, climbing the sofa, tables, small cabinets. We only play with our barbie dolls when my grandmother is with us, she doesn't like us playing noisy games. hehe

HI! Your topic caught my attention and I was drawn to it. Indeed, it reminds me of my childhood and money was really hard to come by in the late 70s. My younger sister and cousins used to cut out paper dolls out of card boards and use pictures in magazines of clothing to dress them. I never realized that this thing was global until now (lol). Like you we drape blankets over small tables and we play bahay-bahayan (play-house) under them. We use softdrink bottle caps and candy wrappers for our play money and use various shapes of leaves and different seeds for our food. We also collect various shapes of pebbles and stones for play money or jewelry. One time our grandma came from a public market in the city and she bought with her tiny pots, frying pans and a stove, which were made of clay, we were so happy we could not believe our eyes to see such pretty little things she gave us. She said she bought it for us so we could practice a little bit of cooking. My, my those were the days.

I enjoyed toy dolls because my godmother and my aunt used to give dolls as a gift for my birthday and as a christmas gift. so i had a doll collection--rag dolls, walking and talking dolls. For a variation, me and my playmates did a cooking session using tin cans as our casserole and pans. We used flowers and leaves as our vegetables and other indigenous materials in our backyard as our viands. I enjoyed cooking and playing dolls as little moms with my playmates. I missed those childhood days of mine-- life is so simple.

Hey dragon, When I was younger most of the time I used to play with my Power Rangers action figures. Lol I know it's kind of weird but I used to think that at night when I was asleep they would all come alive and fight ha. I think my second favourite toy as a kid would have been my BMX I used to love cycling around for ages not a worry in the world. Thinking back now to my childhood days it really makes you think how simple life was back then ha thinking toys were alive ha good thing none of my friends no I'd never hear the end of it. Good post :)

We had pogo sticks, bikes, swing sets, and easy bake ovens. We also had alot of box games. Our favorite thing to do was climb trees and make mud pies lol and we used to have battles between the neightborhood boys and girls. You had to get good at holfing onto the tree limbs and throwing too! lol

I know one thing is for sure, the toys I had were nothing like the toys they have today...lol! Barbie dolls were popular and my little pony and things like that. I think I had a pogo ball and a bicycle. None of these high tech gadgets they have today! And I guarantee the generations before the kids today had the most fun because we actually went outside, we were adventurous and interacted with other kids!

Hi there dragon. I used to have toy cars, that i used to play with on the carpet, and me and my brother pretended that the design of the thing was a network of roads. We also used to build rail tracks during Christmas with our toy train, that belonged to our dad when he was young. The toy train used to be electrical, but in it;s younger years...

In fact, I have a similar childrenhood as you !

I had toys in abundance as a child. I loved board games and had so much fun playing them. My favorite toy had to be dolls. Barbie dolls were my ultimate joy. I had several Barbies and her accedssories. Barbie provided hours and years of fun!

Transformers,GI JOE,Legos,Carebears,He-Man,Batman,Popples,Teddy Ruxpin,Food Fighters,Atari,Nintendo.

I had many toys growing up, I was blessed with grandparents who spoiled me and as I was the only grandchild it got out of hand at times. I remember my favorite toys being Strawberry Shortcake figurines, Smurf figurines, Barbies, and my little ponies. I used to make furniture out of styrofoam packaging and cardboard. I could be quite creative when I wanted something such as a sofa for my dolls and I didn't have one. My favorite was a styrofoam pool i made for my Barbies while we were on vacation one time. My parent's had bought something and it came with a huge piece of styrofoam. My mom helped me cut it and my barbies had a blast swimming. I so miss being a kid and not having the responsibilities of being and adult.
