What was your favorite Toy as a child?

When I was a little girl, I would have a sleep over party for all my toys. I would have to put chairs around my bed so "no one" would be left out. They all got to go to the party. Sometimes it was in a "tent" made from sheets.

My favorite toy was Patty Play Pal, who was a doll the same size as me. She could even wear my clothes.

Then when I got a little older I also played Barbies. I got the hand me downs from my sisters and we had a very cool wooden dollhouse and all the accessories for Barbie and Skipper and friends. But we had no car til much later, we used a shoebox if Barbie went out :lol:

I also liked to play cowgirl, had the whole outfit, boots and guns :shock: and a hobby horse and a rocking horse too.


What were your favorites as a child? It's kind of fun to remember :D

    I had a Francie, I think she was Barbie's cousin, and my best friend Julie had a Francie so we played good twin/bad twin. And the two were always competing for G.I. Joe. And one of the Francies would die when we'd sail the Barbie convertible down a steep flight of steps.

    went to vermont last week and in the Cabot Cheese Building or whatever, there was a gift shop/old toy museum that had everything any fanboy of any generation of toys could ever want. Star Wars, 6 million dollar man, He Man, Transformers, the list goes on and on... it was kind of overwhelming

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
