Everything old is new again....................

 

A long, long, long time ago, the children of the world entertained themselves for hours, sometimes quietly, sometimes not..........they did so without videogames, Xboxes, Nintendo's, or computer games.

 They played with blocks, board games, cards.............

This lens is dedicated to those wonderful, non-video, non-computer, user friendly, family friendly games...............

Let me know what toys you remember from your childhood? Any that are still being played with today?

Great lens! Barbies are still VERY popular. Stuffed animals are always cool. And my children and grandchildren are lovers of Duplos and Leggos. Ok, and what about "action" toys like hoola hoops, bicycles, roller skates, etc. Those are a big draw with this clan.

About Her-Motorcycle

Welcome to my lens(es).  I've developed a bit of an addiction to Squidoo, probably because I'm addicted to lists and love to research stuff.  In the beginning, my lenses were devoted to topics that I know a lot about, particularly knitting, motorcycles  and dachshunds.  That should keep me busy for a while...........


When I'm not making lists, I'm an attorney.  Making lists is much more fun. 


I also blog:  Knitting on Trial 


and have a new website:  Her-Motorcycle.com
