TOYS Or GAMES You Remember From Childhood!😊

Back in the day before cellphones entertained children, I LOVED❤ board games like Checkers, Parcheesi, Aggravation, Candy Land and others! My friends and I would play for  hours after school school and during summer months!😊 I also liked and was VERY good at Chess, and would enter every tournament that I could!🥰  We also had hula hoop tournaments!😁

 

What are some you enjoyed?

 

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

One of my most favorite gifts ever:  The Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker.  

 

You would buy extra "Goop" to make more Crawlers.  It was awesome!

 

Much too dangerous for today due to the heating element.  I think it was discontinued by the early 1970s due to governmental regulations.

@SandySparkles I was never much of a game person but I liked to be outside so I also loved my hoola hoop and my skip it (I believe it was called that).  It had a ring that went around one ankle and a ball at the end of a band was attached to it........and you would "skip" it, LOL!     Also I was an avid jump roper, think I would have won a trophy or two had I entered competitions.    

 

Funny you were a chess player.  I never got into it but my brother was in the chess club in high school and has competed all over the country.  He still teaches it at the local library to school age children on Saturday mornings Smiley Happy
