The Good Ol' Days
Spinning Top
Made of metal and wood, oh my! If these were on the market today, parents would be running to get tetanus shots for their children.
Rotary Phone
Today's kids would not even know this was a phone. It's big, bulky and requires their finger to move in a direction they didn't even know was possible.
Lite Brite
"Lite-Bright, Lite-Bright—turn on the magic of colored lights!" Now the jingle is stuck in your head for the rest of the day, but so are the memories of playing with those tiny pegs for hours on end.

Koosh Ball
The best-feeling ball in the world, you never got tired of holding it. Plus, your parents were cool with you throwing it in the house!

Cabbage Patch Kids
There was a time when the measure of a good parent was if you were willing to sleep outside in front of Toys R Us to get your child a Cabbage Patch Kid. No need to sleep outside anymore; you can pick them up online.
Roller Racer
Quite a bit of effort, for a small amount of movement, but we loved it just the same. The Roller Racer may have been the first time we got a real ab workout.
