I remember all those games I forgot all about Spyrograph!! Made you feel like you really CAN draw lol!
Loved em. I must have gotten thirty or forty under-the-fingernail cuts from trying to put the little metal tabs into the slots.
I did love the little carwash, though. It prepared me for this lucrative career I've got now....
I remember my Mom and Dad would sit up all nite Christmas Eve putting the metal doll houses and gas stations together.......no wonder why te werent so jolly Christmas morning lol

That is so true. Later when I had my own kids and had to do the same thing, it gave me a real appreciation for my parents...
Now this is a fun site! Brings back alot of beautiful memories. I had a Barbie & Ken doll. And the Barbie Dreamhouse. Had all those fun board games like Go to the Head of the Class, Mystery Date, Shutes & Ladders, Mouse Trap, Twister. Had all the neighborhood kids over playing every day! Anyone remember the Vac U Form? It would heat up and make different things out of plastic. I remember having pick up sticks and jacks. Doubt kids play with them anymore. Had an Etch a Sketch to. Think my favorite toy was my red hula hoop.

True, the kids today only want the computerized games..kinda sad really.
This is great . I have read most of the comments and the memories began to flow. Kids today have no idea how much fun they are missing.... anyway here is my list of toys I remember:
Dolls -Baby Tender Love, Sikpper & Ken, Beautiful Crissy, Suzy Walker - I left Suzy standing in the doorway of my room xmas nite and her reflective eyes scared the crap out of my mother when whe was on her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night , Rainbow Brite, Dressy Bessie, Cabbage Patch Kids; Games - Rock 'em Sock em' Robots, Go to the Head of the Class, Chutes & Ladders, Don't Break the Ice, Operaton, Life, Pixie Stix, Crazy Eights, Old Maid, Weeble Wobbles, Mouse Trap, Chinese Checkers and of course Monopoly. Then there were things like -Easy Bake Ovens, Spirograph, Sit & Spin, Click Clacks and Footsie (that thing you put around your ankle and skipped over it). Outside Games - Skully, red rover, Hot peas and butter, Ring-o-livio; Simon Says, Mother May I, Dodge Ball and so many others.
and my Tin Can Alley that my mum bought me when I was 6 and was laid up with broken leg
Was Tin Can Alley available in the US or was it just a British thing? I had no idea what Dr Pepper was and Pepsi was a rarity in those days!
