What is your favorite childhood toy?
Some years go, I ran a collectible toy store in a local antique mall. One of my favorite things was to ask my customers what their favorite childhood toy was. Not only did it give me information, but you could see the look of nostalgia in their eyes as they described their favorite and maybe for just a minute, no matter what their current problems, it took them back to a happier place and time.
So what is your favorite, the thing you remember playing with the most? I had mostly boy toys growing up and my favorite was the Marx Best of the West Geronimo and General Custer.

I'm not sure what my fav toys were. I think I'd have to go with my Tonka set. They were huge (well, huge to a kid lol) steel toys that were rideable and workable! I had the dump truck, backhoe and bulldozer. They were yellow. I loved them. I spent hours digging and hauling dirt and rocks. I still had the dump truck until a couple years ago when I decided to make a planter out of it for my gramma. Now it's sitting in her front yard full of pretty flowers...lol |

I still have my Hungry Hippos game too. The game was ok but it was much more fun daring my younger cousins to shove those little balls up their noses...lol

My favorite childhood toys were typically elephant-related ... started out with the famous childrens' books about the adventures of Babar the Elephant. Even today, I find it hard to resist a cuddly elephant in a toystore.
I much more likely cuddly toys than dolls, whether boy or girl-themed, although I confess to loving this doll that I was given as a present only a few years ago .... I'm not necessarily sympathetic towards all of Dr Laura's views, or the way that she presents them, but I do confess that I've a bit of a crush on her, esp with her yellow stilletoes: |

OOOH!
I loved my: Lincoln logs Girder and panel set Mousetrap game matchbox cars and the best of all were all sorts of little plastic animals -I had in several coffee cans full of them. I had hundreds of them and would play with them for HOURS. I also loved my Jane West doll and would make her do "things" (insert eyebrow waggle) to my sister's Barbies and my Lone Ranger doll (the pervieness arrived early)
