What is your favorite thing from childhood?

[just play]

Mine would be a big wheel, but not just the normal big wheel....

Remember the ones with the HUGE plastic wheels on the sides of the seat and you "peddled" it with your hands? The HUGE wheels had things that poked out that you grabbed onto and rotated the wheels forward.

We only get to pick ONE?

I have managed a top three... but it's too hard to choose just one...

Ian...post as many as you like. I only posted one to start it off.

I can't for the life of me think of that game with the red dice???

Ohhh Pogo Ball!!! I would prob break my ankle if I tried that now.


Seeing as I'm a girl, I'm going to have to say Barbies, and everything that goes with them. I had EVERYTHING, the corvette, the RV, the pool, the house...omg I can go on forever.....my older daughter had the electronic barbie car that she drove, it was so cool, I even would go on it. Hehehe

I feel so old
I remember a lot of nice things me and my brothers did, mostly outside.
Throwing knives, climbed trees, skiing and stuff but I can't even remember that we had any lego. How old is that?

Lego! Yes, that was mine.

Um, throwing knives was my mum's passion in the kitchen, though...lol

Sounds like you had a great outdoor childhood in Sweden!

Yes it was great! My brothers tought me everything
Both my parents worked with children in camps in the summer and we just had to follow them.
Great memories

A lot of things are different now sadly.
If I can get stuck by this computer, it's no wonder the kids of today are doing the same.

That's what I was thinking when I started this thread. My 22 year old daughter can't carry on a conversation for more than a minute without looking at her cell phone that's attached to her hand.

Then I started thinking about my 10 year old, what it must be like to grow up in this technology era we have. Thankfully she still plays with toys, but she is also on her Nook a lot. At least she plays words with friends, so she's doing something that is engaging her mind.


P.S. Can SOMEONE please tell me what those red dice are called?????

If it is than Seinfeld got some splainin to do

Kramer and Newman played it and I don't remember red dice and certainly not that many. I thought they used just regular dice?


Ohhh another reason I thought of this thread besides my daughters was cuz of the 14 year age difference between myself and hubby. I'm 41, he's 55. Some of the stuff he talks about makes me laugh. I usually say "what the hell is that" lmao. Think about it for a moment...he graduated high school and I was 4 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I just said to my husband "you graduated at 18 right?" he goes ya, I go "so I was 4" we both crack up, watering eyes, he then goes..."what's your point?"

 

[Brooklyn]

Oh nevermind.

Long day.

Dungeons and Dragons?

Lego began manufacturing interlocking toy bricks in 1949, since which a global Lego subculture has developed, supporting movies, games, competitions, and six themed amusement parks.

I was just gonna say that clip you showed had 3 red regular dice.

Hmmmm D&D?

YUP, just saw the same exact picture Ian posted for D&D dice.

FINALLY!

 

[Brooklyn]

Yeah I am kinda nerdy. Actually it took me a minute because I didn't see the pic Ian showed.

Yep D&D.

Who wants to play

 

[LaHutti]

Notice the amazing graphics. I remember playing on a b&w tv tho...don't recall the cool green color
Ofcourse we were allowed to play this a couple of times a week, cuz it's not good for you, to sit inside, AND watching too much tv ruins your eyes ! ...so outside and play! I definitely think we were healthier kids....and most definitely dirtier, than kids are today
