I always liked those Kenner construction sets with the red plastic columns and beams that snapped together to make HO-scale buildings and bridges and such. I had several sets of increasing complexity.

The plastic bits didn’t break easily, either, which was handy when Godzilla came to visit.

I loved my microscope kit. I would find dead insects and make a slide of their wings. Silly Putty. Slinky. Colorforms. Paper dolls. LEGO. Baby Alive. A good old fashioned dollhouse. Cap guns. On and on.

I’d have to give it to Erector Sets.....I remember hours and hours of fun as a boy with them.
