Which Toy from the 1970s brings back the best memories?
I used to like Mr. Mouth...he looked like Pac-Man and you had to try and flip chips into his mouth while he spun around, chomping!
Fisher Price toys, in general!
Half of these. And I was born in the 90s!
Gnip Gnop
I liked the commercial for hungry hungry hippos more than the game itself 😊
Real Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, Legos, Chrissy, Cinnamon and Velvet dolls with adjustable hair, Mr. Potato Head, Dawn dolls, Spirograph, LiteBrite, Perfection, Fisher-Price Garage and Village....so fun.
And a Sears Christmas catalog.
Mr. Potato Head was way more popular than some of the ones included in the video.
You just described my childhood to a T.Okay,not the dolls,but still...
The catalog was my favourite toy. I'd cut out paper dolls and furniture and clothes 😄
Man, our neighbors 2 girls and me and my 2 sisters used to play dolls together, we all brought our dolls to their house and traded, there were actual FIGHTS over Baby Chrissy!
I was born in 66’ I remember grandma would hand us grandkids (8 of us) the Sears Christmas catalogue and give us a $10.00 limit, we had so much fun going through it and picking out our gifts, I remember my cherished baby doll one year and a Cher doll another year. We only got one thing but it was a very wanted item and we were all happy. 👍🏻 🎄
Remember the scent of Silly Putty, and pressing against the comic strips in the Sunday funny papers?
I just bought some silly putty. It turns it's a great mask for airbrushing.
Oh yes. I remember that well.
❤️ I do.
Yeah I also remember how dirty it ended up afterward, you could only do that so many times..😂😂😂
They’ve changed the ink, so even if you still take a paper it won’t work.
What about "Colorforms"?! With their distinct aroma and sticky "magic" shapes?
Just READING your comment: *_I could smell them!!_*
I've read long ago that smells evoke memories the easiest of all the senses after sight...
@@hereticpariah6_66 And what about Play Doh??
@@ferociousgumby 😂 lol!my mom MADE her own version for us, but I preferred Kleen Klay: a petroleum based modeling clay that didn't dry out as i was the sculptor of the family. I would recognize Kleen Klay by its smell, if they still make it..
@@hereticpariah6_66 Oh yes!!! We made our own Play Doh, my grandkids and me, but it always dried out. Personally I preferred modelling with Plasticine, which was oil-based and never dried out.
I had a KISS colorform set.
Another fun toy were the bubble toys. Had water in them and you pressed a button that sent bubbles to move rings to land on hooks at various levels. Thank you for memories.
The Wonderful Waterfuls, one of many great memories from Tomy.
“Weebles wooble but they don’t fall down” lol. I remember them well.
My sisters had the Mickey Mouse club Weeble Wobbles.
We had a few of the Weebles sets, loved them so much! We had very few toys when we were kids, being fairly poor but weebles and Fisher Price family sets (school house, farm etc…) were toys my parents got us for Christmas and Birthdays (along with tinker toys and Lincoln Logs). We got $1.00 for allowance each week and I would always get a matchbox car from the drugstore after Church. It was fun being a kid back then. (born in 66’)
First thing that came to my brain😂😂😂😂
They hurt when an older sibling threw them at you like a fastball.
My favorite toy was and will always be Family Tree House from 1975.
Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Operation, Don't Break The Ice, Electronic Battleship, Nerf Footballs, Clackers, Etch a Sketch, Sea Monkey's, and who could forget all those great toys at the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks?
Barrel of Monkeys
Cracker Jack's sticker prizes was a big disappointment. Sad, lol.
Tattoo were the best prize
My niece had a Hungry Hungry Hippos game I had fun playing that game with her. And Jamie Sommers was NOT called Hymie. That's a boys name.
Ah Sea Monkeys, what a huge disappointment those were....
Spirographs are still available and kids today love them as much as we did back in the day.
So are weebles.
I loved the music in the ads for Spirograph!
@@soniamo4139weebles are now larger so kids won't try swallowing them
But they have eliminated the pins 📌 to hold down the outer rings. I guess too many stabbers
Just never leave them out in the Florida sun, they warp.
I remember Tinker Toys, wooden blocks, die cast hot wheels cars, coloring books, battleship, Chinese Checkers and a board game called Mouse Trap, and a lot of Barbie Dolls.
Ahaaaaa, Fisher Price was a big part of my childhood.
Oh lord, Perfection. That game was far more stressful than it should have been. And yet I loved it. Miss the the old Little People designs. One of my favorite sets was a car and camper that had a motorcycle too. The camper folded out with a cloth top.
Thanks for watching @coyoteartist !
I still have my old Perfection game in a closet somewhere...!!
@@ceewood3358 My grandparents had one and I always stupidly gave in and tried it and then regretted it. Repeatedly.
I remember the little people I had the jeep and camper and motorcycle and also the view finder as well and i actually think I still have them well I should say if there still there in my mom and dad house in the attic and the car crash station can't remember when it came out
@@addamsaddams4461 Yup! We had the Little People barn, still made of the original particle board/wood, that lasted forever: no plastic!
Shrinky Dinks! Not really a toy but they were a lot of fun to do. My aunt always helped because of the oven. And Perfection is just anxiety.
My sister got shrinky dinks. One year she got Popeye glitter cards and I got a circus color book with a huge box of water colors.
My mom was the best. She always had the best presents under the tree.
We NEVER got a toy or gift just for going to the store with mom.
Actually, we NEVER went to a store with mom. Now, I go to dollar store with my granddaughter and am guilty of usually letting her get something. It's best not to take kids to these Mish mash of everything stores.
I just got the stuff to make shrinky dinks with my youngest.
I just got the stuff to make Shrinky Dinks with my daughter
Shrinky Dinks were so great. Made one for my grandma to put on her kitchen window sill.
I still have spirograph, Lite Brite, the original and the cube, kaleidoscopes, and hungry hungry hippo.
WOW Very nostalgic !!! I have experienced most of the games listed here when I was a child. I also remember "Mouse Trap", "Jaws" "Smash up Derby" "Stretch Armstrong" "Meccano" "Lego" "Fisher Price record player" and many others. Thank for sharing these memories
Paper dolls, The Dating Game, Easy Bake Oven and Barbie Dolls. We enjoyed fun things like roller skating outside, big wheels..and climbing trees..
In 1971 I asked for a Raggedy Ann for Christmas. I got her and I still have her to this day. My aunt made her. I became a diabetic a month later at the age of 6. She helped me get through a very scary time.
Oh wow😮I have one to, and she still sleep with me😂.
We're your parents poor?
My grandmother wanted to get me one when I was born in 1979 but couldn't find one. Instead I got a cloth doll with my name on her apron. For years I'd look for a Raggedy Ann, but they were always too expensive in antique stores. Finally in my late 30s, I was going to buy an ornament version in a thrift store when I turn around and there's a hand made Raggedy Ann for 10 dollars. You bet she can't home with me.
@@coyoteartist that is so wonderful! I'm glad you found her.
@@mfilitti I never fail to smile when I see her
I loved the sun catchers for kids . You would buy the outline of choice my favorite Strawberry Shortcake and fill it in with the colored granules then bake them. The good old days !
All those toys helped the minds of children!! Build creativity in a good way!!
Spirogragh inspired me to become an artist
@@ericrivera8410 I loved that and had so much fun with it!!
The Little People are still around. The shapes are different, but still there
Like Weebles, deemed to small if a baby sibling should get a hold of one, so they made them larger and less stylized.
Color form playsets, Paper dolls, Honey hill bunch dolls and play sets, Play-doh ( still around ), old school Silly Putty.
paper dolls 😍 oh wow
I was born in 1963, yet some of these toys I've never heard of. That being said, spirograph has always been one of my favorites. I have one. I also had a View Master and would spend hours looking through it. I had a reel of Disneyland features. One of them showed a futuristic display at Disneyland that was sponsored by the aerospace plant, McDonnell Douglas. Interestingly, I married a rocket scientist whose first job after college was McDonnell Douglas. MD is no longer, and that display is no longer at Disneyland. I have a 36 year old daughter whose favorite toy was, and still is, Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Are you talking about the Disneyland ride into the atoms and molecules? I went to Disneyland as a kid once when they had the tickets per ride, but that one was free and so cool.. It's been long gone.
It was so long ago, I couldn't say.
I remember going to my grandparents house me and my brothers will run straight to our uncles room to play with the Evel Knievel stunt toy.
Back when fun rattled. I played with almost all of these classics. I suppose, from this list, my favorite was Lite Brite.
mesmerizing, those pretty colours all lit up 🤩
❤Gumby and Pokey❤
I have a Gumby and Pokey! When I travel, my husband often sneaks them into my suitcase so I'm not alone 😅 Sometimes we hide them on each other and they pop up in coffee mugs, sock drawers, etc. Guess we never grew up 😂
I was very careful: Easy-Bake Oven, Turquoise. I also had a baton, a "Lite Brite" , a Horseman baby doll, a Pogo Stick, we had "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, and yes, "View Master" and reels.
Yeah, the '70s were a time when you'd use your own imagination instead of someone else's.
its "spy-ro-graff" not "spee-ro-graph"
Thank You!!!👍👍👍👍
I had Many of these toys when I was growing up!!
Oh the memories
I LOVED my Fisher Price sets (house, school, farm, garage,…) and wish I still had all of my originals
I can remember the little people toys, had the house, garage and airport
I still have them. Castle, school & farm too
Loved my spirograph and light bright
Man, I loved my Weebles. 😢
I will never forget opening my Weebles Treehouse Christmas morning. 😍
I remember those pockets games..n i remeber the games with water in it..
Operation, rock em sockem robots, sit and spin. this was all a fun blast from the past
5:47 - All I ever remember being able to make with Knit Magic was a useless knitted yarn tube.
Like easy bake, pet rock, and lite-Brite
I liked the square metal potholder maker myself😊
Oh my gosh! This was the best! It brought back so many great memories. I hadn’t thought about some of these in such a long time! The handheld games, the Caleco race car game, and I want my baby come back doll again! Thank you for this!
Baby come back yeah
Litebrite was my favorite. For one thing, I actually had one. I did not usually get what I asked for and if I did get a toy, it was a hand me down. I did get a Lite asBrite and it was new, in the box, and I loved it as much as I thought I would. I had some spirographs too, I liked using those with colored pencils, for some reason they put my mother in a bad mood. I think she tossed them.
My mom was a kid of the 70s. I had a view master as a kid growing up in the 2000s.
I had a Fischer price bus with little people back in 1962. I used to use the bus as a barbies bathtub in which her clothes were the bubble bath.
Oh wow I used to have this school house and the little people and that little dog and I have the weebles too!
Therapist: it seems your anxiety stems from the perfection game as a child...
🤣
SADISTIC!
@ahill4642 it's why I fear opening crescent roll or biscuit cannister to this day...lol
Oh we had a few crazy games that would scare you! Pick up sticks (I’d always get down to the lady 2 sticks and screw it all up.🤬
*last
Lite Brite delighted my autistic heart in 1974. And I still have a couple of those kaleidoscopes
Big yellow metal Tonka trucks in a sandbox or back yard was great! Barrel of monkeys and plastic pickup sticks was always fun. Really liked my cowboys and Indians plastic soldier sets. Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them. Speaking of cowboys let’s not forget cap guns that looked like real firearms and shot caps and could smell the gunpowder and see the smoke.
I remember one boy said he was gonna shoot me with his cap gun in 4th grade, 😂. I had a blue one, and I remember the strips you inserted. I do think they had to make them in colors other than black so they couldn’t be mistaken for the real thing.
yessss a sandbox is a magical thing for kids. We destroyed many HotWheels cars getting sand jammed in them. And plastic animals were cool in sandboxes too.
cap guns! We liked just smashing the caps with rocks on the sidewalk.
I was born in the late 70's but I remember playing with most of these in the 80's.
Etch-a-sketch, Easy-Bake Oven, Operation, Rock'em Sock'em Robots, Pick-up Sticks, Jacks (with metal jacks and good balls), Pet Rocks (well, kinda), Doll Houses and their furniture and people (and sometimes electricity), Chemistry sets, Barbie dolls (not me, though).
Also, non-toys: dress-up, bike riding, skateboard riding, climbing trees and hills/cliffs (without handles and a soft mat).
Im 32. I had half of these toys n loved em in the 90s. ❤ My parents and grandparents made sure me and my sisters knew the fun of older games/toys. Even music. Shows. Ect
I thank you for bringing back some great memories. 😢
Thankyou for watching ! 🙏🏼
A great wind blew across the open field. All the cows fell down. One cow looked at the bull and asked why he didn't fall down? He simply answered...We bulls wobble...but we don't fall down!
I heard that joke as a young teen!!!
Never heard this but lmao, thanks!
😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome 😂
Had most of these, but the pocket games really hit me hard in the nostalgia.
the weebles wobble for like my all-time favorite, besides hungry hungry hippos. Watching this is like take me back to when I was a young kid again and I'm loving it
I think i played with most, not all, of these toys. I miss those times!
My sister had Chrissy & Velvet w/the hair. She also had Dressy Bessie & Dapper Dan
I had a Chrissy doll too!
Lol. My big sister had Chrissy and kept her perfect. I had Velvet and she was a mess. Mimicked our lives. Lol and sob sob
I had a Dapper Dan. That's how I learned to tie my shoes.
The view master was a awesome tool for people look at pics
I grew up in the early 00's I played with a good portion of these. My mom grew up in the 70's
14:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣what was her name again ? Thanks for making my day😆😆inspiring young women that if you try hard enough many years later a computer will mispronounce your name . Apologies to Lindsay Wagner you still are an inspiration and the character Jamie Sommers 🙂
My dad was so obsessed with Bionic Woman that he named his two daughters (my younger half sisters) Jamie and Linzi (an unique way of spelling Lindsay)
@@marniebaker-winnick2296I bet Lindsey Wagner would love that!
@@grannyweatherwax8005 My dad was a member of her fan club throughout the 70's and 80's. He supposedly wrote her a letter to tell her about my sisters, but she never responded. Oh well!
Yes, those bionics were always letting her down. Couldn't even remember her name in the end.
"Don't Spill The Beans" , "Kerplunk", "Mousetrap", "Don't Break The Ice", "Don't Wake Daddy", "Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots"
l wasn't born until 1980, but I had the fisher price medical kit.
I picked one up at a rummage sale when my son was young 2000’s
The Knit Magic hasn't really gone away. There is something very, very similar that is now used for wire weaving for jewelry making.
The Spirograph may have had a hand in making me an artist.
aww neat!
I certainly remember Weebles and Little People.
If you’re looking for that knit machine experience, Sentra and Addi currently make machines that are popular with the knit/crochet community on CZcams.
I had the Wibbles treehouse! Absolutely loved it
I had the Haunted Mansion, with secret passages, spooky mirrors, and trap doors.
@@teptime at that time I would've been green with envy!
Me too! It made my Christmas that year. Good old Santa…
Great video. Could do without the incessant reminders of “the digital age” 😂
The Spirograph is great for kids with ADHD much like fidget spinners. It’s mesmerizing watching your pattern emerge
Born in 1974 and I think I've played with all of these. I think my favorite was the Lite Brite, but I think I developed my anxiety from Perfection and Simon. Loved the JC Penney's and Sears Christmas catalog, Silly Putty, and the Easy Bake Oven. Ohhh, the memories!
Don’t forget the castle for the Fisher-Price little people.
I was obsessed with the castle!!!
I still have the school, castle, and the camper.
@@JayYoung-ro3vuCamper is a good get.
I had standard Spirograph. Some of those toys I don't recall. Yes, Weebles, Viewmaster, SSP's, Screaming Demon (motorcycle toy), Knit Magic, Light Bright, Slinky, Etch a sketch, Close and play phonograph, Kaleidoscopes, Raggedy Ann, Perfection, Operation, Don't Break the ice, Evel Kneivel, Mousetrap, Battleship (the original non electronic version which I still have), Simon, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tinkertoy, Play doh, Wheel-o, Big Wheel, Ants in the pants, Toss Across, Hungry Hippos, Jukebox Jamboree...
IHey remember Dapper Dan, helped with learning button, zipper, snaps too, would like to see all my toy's again,for 0:00 child hood good memories,we lost our toy's when our parent got sick.Sand toy's for beach fun too 🌸
I got a Hot Wheels Picture Maker for Christmas 1970 and still have it. My twin sister got the Barbie version. I still love cars and she still loves fashion.
How is the Spirograph a “forgotten toy”? They still make them
Enjoyed!
I wish I could go back to that time would do it in a minute blessing guys and gals.
I have a Knit Magic. In recent years, circular knitting machines are in fashion again. Yes, they are adult versions of the Knit Magic.
Late 80s early 90s kid. I still remember a toy like Lite Bright. Such good memories...
That Six Million Dollar Man doll was amazing too! You could open his leg and look through his eye...
I had the Weebles Wabble Treehouse!
I had the haunted house with the glow in the dark ghost!
I remember ever single toy shown... what a fun video 🙂
There were many I never saw before. I'm wondering if they were only popular in the very early 70s?
I never had any of the most toys mentioned in this video except for the kaleidoscope. I was more into Battleship, Stratego, and Risk.
Wow, so many great memories! Although my parents weren't wealthy, they sure made Christmastime Awesome!
So many memories. View master was awesome
The knit magic machine!!! My first one was STOLEN by movers back in the early nineties. I've collecting been them ever since....
I remember these toys when I was a kid. Some I had and some toys they had in elementary school. Weebles wabble but they don't fall down.
Slinky and silly putty and spirograph❤❤❤❤❤ 2:47
I had that dancing Mickey Mouse toy but had forgotten all about it until watching this video.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED my weeble wabbles, I loved my lite Brite and to this day I still love perfection!
I remember having every single one of these at some point when I was a kid and I loved them. In the early 90's my husband finally talked me into letting our sons get Crash Test Dummies...can you imagine?? Toys were so much better in my childhood 🙂
I had a View Master in the 60s
Most of my
Discs were of
National Parks, Wildlife, etc in 3 D.
But my favorite was the Batman TV show with Julie Newmar as the Catwoman.
C
I enjoyed the National Parks discs
Grew up in the early 2000s and had most of these! Some that were still being made at that time but the others from either my older siblings or parents. They were my favorites! 🤗
I had Baby Alive and loved Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, too. Magnetic sports games were fun, as well.
I remembered these items: Spirograph, Fisher Price (toy or medical) sets, View Master, Wooly Willy, Astro Ray Gun, Tomy Games (before a (Nintendo) Game Boy), Lite Brite, Kaleidoscopes, Perfection/Super Perfection; I have heard of Simon; Hungry Hungry Hippos; I have never heard of Baby Come Back; but the creepy 1980's "Teddy Ruxpin;" (like the Chucky character from "Child's Play" late 1980's horror movies); missing: the Slinky (1940's ?), Creepy Crawlers (Thingmakers); the Easy Bake Oven, a Big Wheel tricycle, Operation (board game), Etch-A-Sketch; the next decade (1980's): Texas Instruments educational toys (speak and spell; speak and math).
Wow take me back memories,, the first 5 they shown I had.. Weebles Wobble and the Little people I had as a toddler they were the best. but I had most of the toy in this not all. man them were the days.
The Weeble Wobble Spooky House was the BOMB!!
As an 1984 baby I inherited many of these from older, aged out cousins, namely all the old school games sets featured and that spiral drawing tool, view finder and constructo straws, little people, etch a sketch, logo and the doll at the end
We had some of these in the 80's, - Hungry, Hungry Hippos, Veiwfinder... My great Aunt had weebles at her house, and the little people - I remember a mini bus that had six characters and a yellow one where the door opened. Some of these I forgot existed until I watched this video.
Great video! Brought back so many memories! Made me think of others. Gnip Gnop, riccochet racers,etc! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gnip Gnop. Ping pong spelled backwards.
I can remember having a few of these toys as a kid, but there were some that were unfamiliar to me as well. Even though "Hot Wheels" were created in the late 60's, it was a very popular toy for me as a kid as well as the Evel Kneivel action figure😊
Those knockoff Weebles are SCARY
🤣 I thought so too! 👀 😬
Anyone remember Hot Potato? You set timer and threw to each until buzzer went off? I had one...funny thing is that it was made of plastic and really hard! If you didnt grab right it hurt! Lolol
Sounds like another version of "Keep Away". That game was also played with a toy called Time bomb.
