What about silly putty (and the comics on Sunday morning) where you could put it on there and the image would be on the silly putty.....we always thought that was fun and to stretch it all out of proportion.

lawn darts



They don't make them anymore because they were dangerous, but boy oh boy did we have fun playing lawn darts.

remember the ball attached to the rope and it was hooked to the pole that you put in your yard,so many of my sisters got knocked out

 

[One day at a time]

We had this thing in the playground at our elementary school that you would hang on to and run and you could swing up into the air. A bunch of us could get it going really fast and fly really high......THAT was fun (also dangerous--now that I think about it)!

Tether ball? I got a lot of rope burns playing that.



The Six Million Dollar Man -- My brother even had the action figure. There was a hole in the back of his head so you could look through the eye. Weird.

I had a doll head that you pushed a button and the hair would let out so it could be long or short. It also came with make up....it was so fun!

drive in movie theaters


I drove by one today and told my ds what the big screen was used for. Nowadays the lot is used for RV storage.

 

[One day at a time]

We actually have a drive in about an hour or so from us. It is like the only one around here that I know of. We were never allowed to go to movies growing up--but I always thought going to one would have been fun.

Barbies (did anyone ever have the ones that were like mini ones?)

 

[thriftyEvie]

oh yeah, Barbie and Ken,the pink car and the dollhouse. It was the thing then, it was so cool.
