Ok, the Barbie and Ken discussion reminded me of other toys from the wonderful years of childhood. I am a child of the 80s so here are a few of my favorites. Please share your favorites as well!! :hatparty:
Remember....

Lite Brights: Put the pegs into the board and watch them light up.

Glow Worm: You would hug it and it would light up.

Etch a sketch: If you would turn both knobs you could make wiggly lines. You would have to shake the etchasketch to erase it.

Those bracelets that you would slap on your arm and they would conform to your wrist.

Remember the Easy Bake Oven?. The other day I was at toys r us and I saw one for boys called "Queasy Bake Oven". They can "make" worm candy and dirt candy.

YES!! I loved strawberry shortcake. Do you remember a character called "Herself the Elf". She was a little waif of an elf with a huge head and a stick-figure body. How about Pound Puppies and Pound Kitties.

Care Bears are back in style!! My friend has care bear seat covers in her car now. Remember "Get in Shape Girl". No one I know remembers this. It was a workout set all in pink for girls.

Garbage pail kids. Those were parents worst nightmare!!
