[Nebulous]

What was yours?

 

[Princess]

Gosh there were sooo many.....

I loved my jumprope, teddy bear, tea set, toy gun, lincoln logs......and that's about as short a list as I can post--if I think of something else, I'll post it later....

 

[Nebulous]

Oh, I just remembered--Chinese Jump Rope. It was sooooooo much fun.

[Nebulous]

Coolness. Its like a jump rope

..............................................................but chinese







Seriously, that looks like fun.... Never seen anything like that.

They were made of rubber bands--or large elastic bands. And we made them ourselves. It didn't cost much to go to the hardware or drug store (pre wal mart days) and buy a bag of rubberbands. Then we'd tie them together.....



Boy did it ever hurt if you were wearing shorts and the rubber bands broke.

I also used to play with marbles all the time. I would make up all sorts of different games ..

 

[Alien]

I loved marbles! I still have some of mine, I read that some of em are worth a bit of money nowadays but I'm not sure how true that is....

I used to love some really girly toys which would surprise anyone who really knew me cause I've always been a tomboy, specially when I was younger! I loved My Little Ponies and Sindy and Barbie and stuff like that

 

[Nebulous]

Lol you sound like my daughter.. She loves all that girly stuff.

 

[Mr. Perfect]

Link-n-Logs were the best... I also was a Lego boi! I had thousands upon thousands upon thousands of legs...lol..big, small, medium sized...etc etc....

 

[Princess]

I've still got my first doll, last doll, and first teddy that Santa brought me--they're with the Christmas decorations--when I get them out this year, I'll post a pic or two--remind me.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but BARBIE! I HAD LOADS OF BARBIES. I've given most of them away now, but yeah. That's my guilty little not-so-much-of-a-secret. And teddy bears. I still sleep with mine. And people give me teddies for my birthday. MY FIFTEENTH. Yeah. Sad.

The only toy I really ever had I still have today. It's my stuffed animal monkey.

 

[Skillet]

I collected Beanie Babies

I think I had around 40 or 50. They're awesome =]

 

[Nebulous]

I collected troll dolls for a while.

I collected troll dolls for a while.

Lawl. Nice..

 

[Alien]

I have LOADS of trolls up the loft at my parent's house! I actually have that troll in the pic, and I used that pic as my Facebook avatar for a little while

I even have this huge troll with moveable arms and legs I have him here actually. I keep meaning to get my trolls from my parent's house cause I am not ashamed to admit, I still think they rock

 

[Nebulous]

Do they still make those?

 

[Alien]

I dont think they do, I've not seen any in years, they disappeared from shop shelves I'd say over 10 years ago where I'm from. Before that, they were everywhere for a few years.

I think they are so cute though!

 

[Nebulous]

Same here. They used to be at every store you go to.. Now they have disappeared.



I used to play with sticks. I would constantly be breaking a neat looking branch off a random tree to play with.
