It's my middle child's birthday soon and while shopping I was surprised by just how many toys from my own childhood have made a comeback.

I loved Lego. What was your favorite toy @Adrian_Scope?
-
I remember playing with Bayko more than anything else. You put rods into holes on a base, then slot in pieces which represent bricks, pillars, windows, etc. Should have kept mine; they're quite collectable.....https://www.baykoshop.com/My son 'blames' me for his getting back into collecting Lego a few years ago, as we bought him this as a child.....he's now 33!

I loved catscradle, although I wasn't very good at it!
A Tamagotchi was also another favourite.Scope -
I loved Lego but never had the room for anything I'd built to stay in one piece. My favourite toy (if you can use that word to describe it) was a grey torch, which I pretended was a lightsaber.

cut out Bunty doll and made clothes from old catalogues

I also had Mr Frosty and Bop It as well given to me on my sixth birthday. I remember this toy called Perfection that was a educational toy. Who remembers Mr Potato Head and My Little Pony? I was a 90s child born in late 96. This article lists all of my childhood toys which are kept in a memory box in a closet at my childhood house now in Pennyslvania. What toys did you play with?

I loved my Tiny Tears doll, but I was a bit of a tomboy too and had a Tonka Cement Truck and a train set as well. I remember Mr Potato Head and My Little Pony too, @April2018mom, but was a good bit older by the time they came along.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

Mine was Optimus Prime from The Transformers cartoon, the fact that The Transformers toys could transform into vehicles like in the cartoon was amazing for kids my age.

This is going to age me now but in the early 60's when i was about 4 years old I had a Sooty glove puppet, whats upset me recently is that one has sold at auction for £10002024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Hi I have just joined this community and still getting used to it but my favourite toy was my baby alive I don’t know whether it was because it was the last present my dad bought for us for Xmas before he passed but she was amazing eating and weeding

She sounds great @sleepingplum! Welcome to the Community!Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

I’m going to exclude electric toys/games consoles from my decision, as I grew up with a lot of games consoles! And I will say my favourite toy was Airfix.

Something else I loved was my skipping rope. I don't know why I was so obsessed with it! I have cerebral palsy so found it really difficult, yet got a lot of enjoyment from trying.Scope -
hi Chloe probably loves your skipping rope because it was a challenge for you and when you did it it was one to you nil to cerebal palsy
-
my 'tiny tears' doll and a rag doll my mum made during her lunch hour at work were my favourites
-
With me is Gyroscope Toy, I loved it when I was a kid. I recently bought Joytech Precision Gyroscope for my son, who seems to be quite hostile about him, curious about how the gyroscope works. This item is so well made that I am reminded of an item I had as a boy.

I used to love Thomas the Tank Engine trains and the Toy Story dolls Woody was my favouriteOnline Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.
