Week 7: Toys

What was your favorite childhood toy? Is it still being made in some form today?

I had several favorite toys as a child. There was my Rub A Dub Dollie, Good Humor Ice Cream Truck, this bead machine that made necklaces (I can picture it but can’t tell you what the name of it was), my Weebles, my Sesame Street Playhouse (which I still have), McDonald’s Play Store (I wish I had this), and my Disney video thing. It had cartridges that you stuck into a machine to play a movie. I don’t think it had sound.

Today I think the Sesame Street House is made in some form from time to time but the rest is a product of the 1970′s.
