One of my favorites was Erector Set:
Four of equal pleasure, depending on where my imagination was at the time:
Erector set, Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, and "Bricks"
("Bricks" were much like Legos, but made of wood.)
Jump Rope, Jaxs, Hopscotch, Tag, Climbing Trees and Red Rover. We were too poor for toys.
Dolls
My bicycle. I guess I have always wanted to be going places.
Pick up sticks and tiddley winks
I had a Dalmatian stuffed animal with pink spots that I slept with every night.
Rationing made toys a bit scarce in Oz during WWII and for a few years after. Like Skip, I enjoyed Pick Up Sticks (called Fiddlesticks over here) and a few board games like Monopoly.
Mostly we played in the bush along a local creek, or went fishing in one of the local rivers (we had two close by).
Always loved my Bazooka ! LOL
As a child: Jacks, Trading Cards, making my own doll houses and furtniture out of cardboard and bits of wall-to-wall carpeting.
Today my favorite toy is my Glue gun!!
I had a small blackboard that I loved to draw on and play "school" with. My other favorite thing was my bike! I rode that thing into the ground!!!
Under the age of 7 it was capsilla
You could build motorized things with it , even boats ..
Then it was a skateboard ,
That was more of an obsession
Then a toy till I was 17 or so
And later when I was 25 ish
I started skating again
I never regained my balance
And balz like I had before .
And when I fell it hurt
As a youngster I just bounced up
And tried again.
