The nimbus broomstick is scary LoL

[Semper911]

Comes with a sexy garter and fake money.

I am not kidding.

I will step out on a limb here and guess this is what happens when you have things manufactured overseas. I bet the kids in Asian sweatshops cranking out these toys think our children must be vapid twits.

As a child, I would disappear at dawn and return at dusk. At least most of the times.

My friends and I would play war, cowboys and indians, or play sports. Halfball, football, tag, and hide and seek. There was NO imagination about it, we just did it. My best friend and I went to our school and got mats so we could wrestle like our heroes, Bruno Samartino, Gorilla Monsoon, and George “The Animal” Steel. (You go, you see! For those that remember.)

Our children NEED to be disconnected. They need to be pulled away from the modern conveniences. They need to spend some time in the dark, only illuminated by a campfire.

Darn! My buddies and I used to hunt racoons with a garbarge can! We need to see that again in our children.

She must be an Alan West staffer.

Oh here is an odd one that I found while trying to find an example of toy company's foisting black culture on suburban yoots.

We had hare gums our dads helped us make, a small box’ with a stick that triggered the door, baited them with a onion.

I got my first hatchet at about ten , my first shotgun at 12.

[radiohead]

I have to admit my mouth fell open at ‘Oreo Barbie.’ What were people thinking?

Love the vibrating Harry Potter broomstick, though. : )

[DaxtonBrown]

I’m still a little perplexed why my “Ginzu For Toddlers 3 to 5” was met with such scorn when I gave it as a gift.

[Squantos]

Sams has em..... The call them elderly aids. Install em next to a bed or recliner so the older folks can hang on to help em stand up.

Glitter is optional....

[He Rides A White Horse]

When I was about 10 I would go in the woods find a good green stick ,get a piece of string and make a bow. Arrows were the straightest stick I could find.

I think Homeland Security calls it a weapon of mass destruction these days.

[Winstons Julia]

I WANT THAT!

Hatchets were cool because you could throw them like a tommyhawk.

[InvisibleChurch]

back before life wimped out on us

[The Mayor]

OMG!

Hatchets were cool because you could throw them like a tommyhawk.

If you had Log for a target and a tomahawk.... fun would ensue.

One of the bestest things I ever had when I was a kid was compartmented boxes full of fishing lure parts, hooks, spinners, beads, feathers, leaders...

I could spent forever making lures and testing them out.
Maybe it sounds stupid, but it was educational, useful and fun.

Jarts were lethal (but fun!). My grandpa’s BBQ grill had a hole in it made by one of those projectiles.
