Remember those?

Sure do. Not this particular one but I’ve had many. Eventually stepped my game up to Etch-A-Sketch. Drawing ability never improved however.

Just thinking about all the cool things we had and did as kids, (that didn’t require a touchscreen, computer, or internet) makes me smile and a bit happy.

How about the Slinky? Remember how fascinating that thing was, at least for me anyway. But, I was probably just slow.

I loved the slinky. My siblings and I would have slinky races down the stairs.

Silly putty was fun as well.

Yeah the Slinky was fun. But remember the hours of fun we could have just with a BALL! A baseball, for example... or a football. I used to spend hours just playing catch with any of those, or with a tennis ball, with the kid next door, who was in a wheelchair.

Yep. How many times did you copy newsprint with your silly putty?

Just playing catch was plain, simple, enjoyable fun.
