Thanks to Scrappy Jessi for hosting this fun event.
Ok, when I was really little I loved my Thumbelina baby doll. Here I am with her and my mom (with the funky 60s do with the faux braid and me still parting my hair on the left!)
And here she is about 41 years later, a little worse for wear:
The poor thing needs a good scrub, which I will try to do if I think about it, but I should ‘honor’ her presence, since I have had her this long. I had cut her hair and chewed on her fingers back then. She’s been through a lot with me.
Here is a photo of my brother and I at Christmas playing with our Flintstone building blocks. We use to fight over them:
When I was a little older, I started to love Barbie and her friends:
They could also do with a little sprucing up. Poor Barbie’s fanny is peeking out of the lace in the back! I also have my original case and a few others dolls (somewhere). And I do have some newer collector’s Barbies in the guest room. I was wise and kept most of them in their boxes. My favorite-the Van Gogh Sunflower Barbie and the Vera Wang bride.
I also loved my coloring books, crayons, markers, drawing pads, chalk boards, books, Silly Putty, Fuzzy Wuzzy soap, Lite Brite, Spirograph, play dough, two wheeler bike with the banana seat and monkey bars, board games like Mouse Trap and Monopoly and even checkers! I could go on!
I wanted to add a few of my son (21.5 yrs old now) :
Here he is with his dad using his magna doodle board.
And here he is showing us his creation (he’s about 3 here):
And last but not least, his favorite bears Snuggle and Boo (very well loved):

Glad to see someone else had Fuzzy Wuzzys! Thanks for sharing, come visit! lori
Oh wow, what a wonderful trip down memory lane!! I love the fact that you still have that doll…I had a favourite doll as well but I have no idea where she ended up. I do, however, still have a couple of my Barbies:-) I had the Mousetrap game as well and played that quite often. My oldest Shawn had the MagnaDoodle as well…I had forgotten about that toy!! This was fun! xoxo
Love the toys and I remember the soap and the game mousetrap. I bought the game so my nieces would have something to play with.

Love your toys! I had so many of the same things. I loved my banana seat bike and monkey bars. Your friends little bottoms fit right in there so you could ride double.
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you still have your childhood dolls!
OOH…silly puddy!! SO FUN!! I love all of your fab photos!! :)mendy
We must be about the same age, because I remember Mouse Trap, silly putty and that fuzzy wuzzy soap- but mine never got very fuzzy- and your doll is darling- she looks sweet and loved!
I love your Barbies! I think the one on the right looks like Barbie’s british friend Stacy!
Mouse Trap was such a fun game, wasn’t it! Thanks for sharing.

Have a fabulous day!

Good ol’ Silly Putty! What great stuff – it bounced, made “copies” of the comics, snapped and popped, then ended up getting into the carpet. 😀 We still loved it!
What a cool post! Love the photo’s-you were such a pretty little gir! i still have a doll from over 30years ago-I may have to go pull her out.
I loved this post. What fun to remember all those old toys. I really enjoyed Lite Brite, Spirograph, and my Barbie, too.
