  My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| In the news today, three things were added to the official Toy Hall of Fame. It started me thinking about what I would include in my own Toy Museum. Mattel brands, of course, come to mind. Barbie. Need I say more? You could actually have several, one from my era, later one with moveable joints, later, a liberated overachiever Barbie, with a car and a beach house. GI Joe with a few accessories would be necessary. I guess a Monster High doll, too. In general, we'd need a yo-yo, a hula hoop, a frisbee, a top, a slingshot, a pogo stick, a paddle ball, and a Rubik's cube. We'd need Raggedy Ann and Andy, a Cabbage Patch Kid, and a full-size American Girl Doll. A toy baton, sparkly plastic heels and a tiara, and a child size broom and dustpan. A cap gun (the outdated kind), a plastic sheriff's badge, and a little red wagon would be needed. Don't forget a Matchbox Car, Hotwheels with a track, and a Tonka truck. I'm almost forgetting Rock'em, Sock'em Robots and a Simon Says. Etch A Sketch. Play Doh. Silly Putty. PickUp Stix, Jackrocks. Plastic cowboys and Indians (from bygone days), plastic soldiers. Plastic dinosaurs and spiders. A bride doll (bygone decades), Easy Bake Oven. Crayons, Coloring books-any kind. Dr. Seuss books. Small rockers. A medical bag. A Paw Patrol figure. Wrestling figures-one male, one female. Batman and Superman figures. Pokémon cards. Baseball cards, etc. Toy dishes. Stuffed Micky and Minnie. For games, I'd choose Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue, Yahtzee, Candy Land, Checkers, and Chinese Checkers. And Bingo. In the wheels section, we need a scooter, a tricycle, a small bike with training wheels, a medium bike with a banana seat, and a Radio Flyer wagon with removable wood slats on the side. A skate board and roller skates are necessary. And in-line skates. For the preschool section, we need a toy piano, a colorful little xylophone, a toy drum, stackable rings, and anything by Fisher Price. We need an old-fashioned telephone and a cell phone, both by PlaySkool. Lincoln logs (real wooden ones), A B C blocks, Tinker Toy, and a Teddy Bear. Toys are very important to our growth and development. Some of us didn't have that many. Or we weren't allowed to play with them freely. I didn't have all the toys I listed. My brothers might have, or other kids, or my friends' kids. I am sure I have a feminine point of view in what belongs in this museum. They all tell a story in someone's life. SStill adding on: How could I omit Slinky, Gumby and Pokey, Magic 8 ball, Nerf balls? |
