What toys did you collect or love in the 60s, 70s? Kiddles?

[Sir Birdaholic]

My favorite toys of all were my Tinker Toys & Hot Wheels & track.
I had a "six- finger" in grade school.....for a short time, till it got confiscated.

It was very popular in the 70's, my cousin did a very beautiful job on his artwork!

It was a fake finger you put inbetween the others so it wouldnt be detected. It shot plastic darts. I wonder if my teacher still has it.

I would like it back now.

Little Kiddles!!! And my mom showed me an article in one of her ladies' magazines showing how to make a doll house out of boxes & other found stuff. I used a lot of those ideas to make a big house for all my Kiddles. I also had Breyer horses & would make tack from felt & pipe cleaners. I even made a little cart for my Shetland pony from balsa wood. My brother collected Matchbox cars, they each would come in a little cardboard box. We made a city for them to drive around on, made of white paper & construction paper shapes glued onto it. We kept adding onto it until it was about 5 feet square. I don't have my Kiddles or my Breyer horses, but I think my brother still has his Matchbox cars.

Lite Brites LOL Oh man, the hours we put into it and tons of black papers!

My Spyrograph was pretty cool!

Oh yeah, I had a Spirograph too! It came with a package of push pins so you could hold the plastic frames onto the drawing board while you worked. A definate safety hazard by today's standards!
