October 15- More Toys and Childhood Fun-Part 1

Mike and I always shared our toys and games. Well, I played with more of his stuff than he did with mine. He really wasn’t into dolls and Barbies. He did like my stuffed animal characters.

   

   Some of these were officially both of ours, like the games - Boggle, Yahtzee, Uno, Checkers, Chinese checkers, Dominoes (Mom’s), Pokeno, Toss Across, Husker Du, Uncle Wiggly, Travel Scrabble, Auto Bingo ( country and city versions), Rubik’s Cube, The Missing Link, The Pyramid, and Backgammon.

   

   We had a game called Popcorn that my friend Barbara gave me. Mike and Cousin Rick took the motor out of this and put it on Mike’s model ship. We’ve only ever seen Rick twice; he’s just one day older than my brother.

   

   We have 3 sizes of both our Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and each have a Winnie the Pooh small stuffed animal. Chip the Pound Puppy was a gift for the 2 of us but I became her owner quickly. I have a smaller one of these that is her daughter.

  

   Magic Slate, a yo-yo, the hula hoop, kites (“Let’s Go Fly a Kite”), kaleidoscope, jacks, marbles, See n’ Say- Farm edition, A Barrel of Monkeys, puzzles, Tupperware connecting blocks with little animals, Chinese yo-yos, Yes& Know books, and bubbles are other things that we enjoyed.
