childhood toys

After posting about the Franklin and Super Magic Diary, the wheels started turning!!! This was a very fun blog post to "research"! Enjoy!

1) Puppy Surprise - my brother and I both had our own puppy surprise! I loved these things! My childhood best friend not only had puppy surprise but kitty and horse and who knows what the heck else! I was jealllllous!

2) Cupcake Dolls - These dolls had a rubber skirt that you could turn inside out to transform it into a cupcake! I'm pretty sure they were scented too, which was always THE BEST!

3) Littlest Pet Shop - I'm talking the original - not the current creepy stuff!!

4) Tamagotchi / Nano pet & baby

 

5) Trolls!

6) Pogs - especially the Disney ones!! Phillip and I got into many fights over these things! Especially when his would mysteriously go missing....

7) Rainbow Brite - c'mon you knew this one would be on here! I don't think I actually had the doll, but I think my preschool did! She was pretty cool!

8) Iron On Beads

9) Girl Talk - Oh yes, this was the best game to play with friends! Hours of entertainment, and what can beat those red dot zit stickers?

10) Gak & Floam

Other notable mentions:
-Stretch & Fetch Armstrong

-Creepy Crawlers - To be fair, this was my brothers, but it was a good time - even if we managed to burn ourselves a few times!

-Silly Putty

-Care Bears

-Polly Pocket

-Yak Bak

-TY beanie babies (of course) - and no, this isn't my collection!

-PJ Sparkles - another toy I remember (but only from looking at the list) - I remember the commercials probably and remember my friends having one and thinking they were just glamorous!

Even though I was born in the 80s I remember more from the 90s... if you want to go further down memory lane, I found a three part article (here, here, and here) with a bunch of toys / items that I remember loving in the 90s! Also check out this blog: Children of the 90s.

What items did I miss that were important / noteworthy in your childhood?
