6/8 QOTD- Favorite toy as a kid?

When we were visiting the Millyard Museum yesterday, there was an old Simon game on display, which just ot me thinking about games and toys we had when we were kids.

What were your favorites? Was there one that you always wanted, but never had for yourself?

Hmmm favorite toy. Isn't it funny - I don't think I had a favorite toy. Barbies maybe? My neighbor had more than me and her mom used to make clothes too for them.

You know I don't think I had a favorite toy either...or maybe just to old to remember :) Today was HOT!!!! Got to me a bit.

Well, the toy that stands out as my favorite would have to be my "Chatty Cathy."  I remember that I got it for Christmas the year my brother was born.  He was born on Christmas Day.  My Mom was in labor on Christmas Eve, but she wouldn't let me Dad take her to the hospital until I opened my Chatty Cathy (so I've been told).  I loved that doll.  I don't know whatever happened to it, but years later, after I had a heart attack (which scared my Mom to the nth degree), she bought me a new Chatty Cathy, which I keep in my home office on my desk.   The toy I always wanted, but never had:   Easy Bake Oven

How sweet. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman.

I always wanted the easy bake oven too! If I remember correctly, my mom ended up getting me one at a yard sale, and after using it once, I understood why she wouldn't buy it for me in the first place! LOL!

Thta's sweet that your mom bought you a new chatty cathy.

You had to ask!  By gad, I was in love with the game 'Operation'.  I have always been very medically inclined - in the abstract.  Actual blood and guts are not my favorite.  But I loved playing that game.  I drove my family nuts with it.  I was very fond of 'Trouble' as well. I wanted a real cash register but I never got one.  I did get a typewriter that I pretended was a cash register.  I would empty the kitchen cabinets and ring each item up giving the space bar a solid thumping each and every time.  LOL.  What fun it was and my Mom was a peach for letting me do it while she was trying to prepare meals for a huge family.  Funny.  Treading

Dawn Dolls, does anyone remember these?  I had the sports car and the fashion show thingie and wow were those clothes ever hard to get on the dolls.  But, they are still a beloved memory to me.

I don't remembger any of my favorites! I used to play with fashion plates, but I am sure it was at somebody else's house. My brother had a ton of matchbox cars that I used to play with.
