I don't recall having as many toys back in the late 60's/early 70's when I was a kid. Kids today have too much stuff.
In the late ‘40s, my toys were....
an electric train
Dagwood Bumstead cardboard figures
tricycle
Li’l Abner windup piano player
teddy bear
Jeepers Creepers
Fiddlesticks
Tinker Toys
Lincoln Logs
....actually, quite a bit of stuff.
YEP.....too much stuff....I once took about 3 boxes of stuffed animals out of my daughter-in-law’s kids room (3 step-grandkids)......they never EVEN MISSED THEM! Course they had 3 sets of grandparents....my son is her 3rd husband. Sigh. We have, through the years given them what they probably think is “weird” stuff....but, they probably won’t forget them!
I stopped buying my grandkids towys a long time ago. They get clothes or money.
