I was hoping to have more time to post some non-electronic toys from my childhood and compare them with what my kids will have this week. I ran out of time, but here’s a few photos of some toys I had. I’ll post what my kids played with when we return.
It’s Slinky! It’s Slinky! For fun it’s a wonderful toy!
I played with mine for hours, well, until the metal got all bent up from playing with it too much. Then I woud see how far a friend and I could stretch it out. Then I made a sculpture out of it.
Then I asked for a new one. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Swimming.
Yes children, that’s what a pool looks like when you don’t have one built-in in your backyard. Yes, that might look like a chair, but clearly it’s a diving board.
Toys back in the day required imagination, of the non-digital kind. Life was simpler back then.
Turning off the computer now.
Off to wake the kids and get in the car. Pray for me. This could be a riot! No, I don’t mean the fun kind of riot either.
