I remember Mouse Trap.

I remember when I was about 10 we had a building out back that we used for a shed that was made of bricks. The boys in the neighborhood used it as a clubhouse.
One day we discovered some loose bricks on the backside, so we decided we needed a back entrance.
My dad discovered the back entrance as we were leaving for church one Sunday morning. Even Sunday morning didn't save me from the belt. It was rather difficult to sit down in SS that morning.

I remember my brother had cap guns with holsters, he had a rifle but I can't remember if it shot caps also or not. He had a stick horse and cowboy hat. Lincoln logs and GI joe plastic men. He had a blue metal car you peddled and my other brother had a yellow tractor you peddaled.

I had a Tammy instead of a Barbie and lots of babies. I had a 3' bride doll that I was not allowed to play with, we could just look at her. :(

I had jacks, pick up sticks, hula, baton that I play golf with. :)

Pin the tail on the donkey, bingo and old maids were the only games I can remember.

Books: The three little pigs, Sambo, Little Red Riding Hood

I had a piano I banged on that made a tinkling sound. For some reason the adults always wanted me to play outside with that.

Wooden blocks, bouncing balls and push metal trucks and cars, and a set of tin pots and pans, and dishes.

We never had an abundant amount of toys and 4 kids shared their toys.

I loved Mouse Trap and Operation and Clue! I still have my Scrabble game that I got when I was eight - 44 years ago. It's probably worth some money - it's an antique!!!:christmoose

Chatty Cathy was my favorite doll! She had such a cute voice too.

I remember that one of her phrases was, "I wanna drink of water!"

I'd play that because I wasn't allowed water after supper because I wet the bed! I didn't think it was fair that Cathy could ask but I couldn't!

I also had a Baby Alive doll. I wasn't into dolls after I was about 7, but I thought she was cool cause she peed when I gave her water.....LOL!

I also had a doll that would break out in a chicken pox rash but it would disappear with water, or something like that. Sadistic???

I always wanted Shrinky Dinks. My mom refused to buy them. I could never understand why!! LOL!

Re: Toys From Our Childhood
 

I love mystery books anyway, and since we didn't have TV growing up, I read every Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Encyclopedia Brown book ever written about ten times each.

Coincidentally enough, that's how she found true love.....LOL!
