name games or anything that you grew up with

[One day at a time]

What about those books that you use the invisible ink marker to play the games---we loved them when we traveled. We could find them at Cracker Barrel and my kids love them too!

What about the old sea monkey adds on comics and x-ray glasses, did anyone get them?

 

[One day at a time]

Loved sea monkeys---we had them I don't know how many times growing up!
We might have tried to get x-ray glasses--haha that is so funny to think about!

What about going to the corner store to buy penny candy!

I know what you are talking about....I never had them but had wanted some....but sorry don't know the name of them. Hate to say it but we called them "knockers"! We didn't know what else to call them!

 

[One day at a time]

We had 50 gallon drums that we would roll (by walking on them) around the yard. Sometimes....have little bumper fights to see who could fall first.

 

[Templeofthespirit]

In Oz they used to be called "click clacks", they were fun but really hurt sometimes.

Did anyone make their own stilts? we started with the tin cans and then wood to make them higher.

[One day at a time]

Oh...we made stilts out of cans and then some how we actually ended up with a real pair......what great fun--running around our yard!


banana seat bike---that could fit at least you and your friend!

 

[virtualgirl]

I loved my banana seat! Did any of you have a sissy bar on the back of your bike?


How about putting a playing card on your bike to make an engine sound?

 

[One day at a time]

Oh yeah....gotta have that noise! That click, click, click sound!

What about the rollerskates that came with a key and you had to adjust them to put them on your shoes.

 

[thriftyEvie]

oh yeah,the clicking clacking banana bike
remember paper dolls girls?

 

[One day at a time]

Oh yeah....what about the ones that you would punch out and have to make sure you were careful not to rip them.....hahaha....that is so funny to think about!

What about the magnetic ones that you could dress them....they were always cool!

Oh I found a picture for the stilts!

I came on here to post "paper dolls." I loved them! I remember the year I had the measles. My mom bought a set of Snow White paper dolls and I played with them in the dark.



Remember Tony DeFranco and The DeFranco Family? Wow!!! I had such a crush on him. I went to several of their concerts at the John Wayne Theater at Knott's Berry Farm. I would sit in the audience and scream with all the other girls!

Oh, and the Brady Bunch Kids. I saw them a couple times at Knott's, too. Loved their polyester jumpsuits.
