Fashion Plates - does anyone remember those?
Barbies
crayons - Insisted on the huge set with sharpener in back
This fashion design center - I forget what it was called but it was a little "workshop" with glitter, pencils, sequins...etc..

My Little Ponies-they don't make them anymore

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

sylvalian families?

well i loved them but if you chewed them the fur would come off and i usually tended to do this as a child

Omg I had a grey rabbit I did that with! I love sylvanian families!!! I had the bus (with folding out picnic table and basket) the hospital, a small house, and the shop with little bitty bottles of wine! it was sooo cute.
I also loved
Barbies...(i'd chop their hair off to give them a new look and then scrub a red lipstick in their hair thinking I was colouring it)
My little ponies, they rocked!
Quints
One of them circular fashion drawing things
Paper flower making kits
Marbled paper making kit
One of those ball on a rope things you would attatch to one ankle and kinda swing around under your other foot.
Skipping Ropes

Oh all the memories

[i_<3_chanel]

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

that reminds me of putting crisp packets in the oven and shrinking them to make them into keyrings how random!

You guys are amazing, thanks so much for jogging my memory. <grin>

Skip-it, the talking Teddy Ruxpin doll, Popples, glo-worms (in retrospect, those things were like bricks. how in the hell did we cuddle them?!), strawberry shortcake, the Mapletown toys, Care Bears...

My Little Ponies were outstanding. Remember their clothes and shoes? God, I loved how the ponies sold in France had an even bigger selection of outfits. Yes, the French teach their young early.

My top 3 My Little Ponies:

Gusty, the confident one
Wind Whistler, the pink one w/ bright blue hair.
and North Star, the one with the British accent.

I was quite into barbies but i loved been outdoors with the lads climbing trees and making dens and getting muddy!

 

[i_<3_chanel]

awww. i used to do tht with crisp packets in the microwave !
slightly dangerous though.

me & my frnds used to pull the bristles out of toothbrushes
boil them & bend them to make bangles
so much fun !

cheer bear was my favorite care bear.

i want to be a kid again !

 

[snowqueen]

i want to be a kid again !

i know life was so easy, no worries just play, and school was actually fun adn the work was easy

 

[ball79]

Nothing cooler than playmobils!

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

those bangles are so cool! i wana make some its like a school when you used to heat your pens over the bunsen burner and twist them slightly dangerous!


what was that care bear that was actually a lion?

 

[czilla]

he was a carebear cousin. His name was Braveheart, I do believe.

Playmobiles rocked my world. The prairie wagon set? Yeah, you bet I named them all after Laura Ingalls Wilder characters. Plus, it was hot that those little dudes snapped onto their horses. Barbie couldn't do that...

 

[pointup]

^hahah my kindergarten class I student teach were just raving about carebear cousins last week! I had never heard of them until then..

SKIP IT WAS WHERE IT WAS AT!

 

[Bonchic]

Well I played with hot wheel cars when I was little lol because my uncle lived with us and he was a teenager and had tons of hot wheels

But I also had alot of play horses that me and my sister played with for hours inside and outside..

I also dressed up my cat Josey in baby doll clothes and pushed him around in my babydoll stroller! He just laid there man he was the best cat

I did have dolls too I remember I had a water baby that peed when you gave her something to drink

I liked (still do) monkeys so I had TONS of stuffed monkeys I played with too

Easy Bake oven, the food was pretty good actually!

TY beanie babies I am soo glad that craze is over I think I sold all mine at a garage sale
