name games or anything that you grew up with

[Templeofthespirit]

yes and sand or glitter. I loved art class at school.

What about pipe cleaners? We used them at school to make things in art. Don't know if they are still around?

 

[One day at a time]

Oh the fun we had with pipe cleaners! And yes they are still around!! I've used them with my school kids before....

Oh and the glitter...that would end up on everything and all over your face!


Did you ever get Christmas treat bags when you were younger? We would always get them after church Christmas program.

 

[thriftyEvie]

yes

does anyone remember when the older generation would put cloves in oranges and oh how it made the room smell Christmasy

 

[One day at a time]

I don't know if we ever did that.

Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer....and Frosty the Snowman.....were a must see at Christmas time! Waited all year to see them!

 

[Templeofthespirit]

I loved to seeing the christmas TV programs when I was a kid. I still watch them when they come on tv. Who wants to grow up.

 

[One day at a time]

Me too.....I record a ton of Christmas movies every year! I'm getting quite a collection!

I saw this little xylophone yesterday....remember those...the kind on the string and you pull them and they would make noise?

 

[thriftyEvie]

remember sea monkeys?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

yes, I feed them to my fish. They love them more than I do.

 

[thriftyEvie]

aren't they just brine fish or something?

 

[One day at a time]

I think so....I remember having them....

I saw something yesterday.....pop bead necklace....remember them?

 

[thriftyEvie]

yes, remember when the slinky first came out?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

yes I wanted a slinky but my Mum would not let me.
They are brine shrimp thriftyEvie, very interesting little creatures.
Did you make a phone out of two cups and a bit of string?

 

[thriftyEvie]

u bet

did you ever make mudpies?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

yes that was fun, and then trying to get your brother or sister to eat them.

Did you ever have one of those toy tea sets with cups, saucers and teapot?

 

[One day at a time]

of course....had to have one of them (even though I was a tomboy!)

My brother and I would make the phone with the cans or cups and strings and use them at night between our bedrooms!! Hahahaha!!

I think we said this one before but what about stilts out of cans?

 

[thriftyEvie]

yes
what about slime? remember that?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

my mum would not let us have slime, it creeped her out I think, or maybe she thought I would eat it like the play dough.

Did you make your own play dough?

 

[virtualgirl]

No, but I make it for my kids.


How about. . .

"It's Wheel-O, Wheel-O. Such a wonderful toy. It's Wheel-O, Wheel-O. Fun for a girl or a boy."

 

[thriftyEvie]

don't remember that,what was it again?

how about plastic food?

 

[One day at a time]

Had to have plastic food to go with the tea pot set!


What about a kitchen set?
