Yep, all of the above.
We also chewed this horrible, nasty tasting, government issue glue, it was a cool texture, who knows what was in that! We had black walnut fights until the doctors daughter got a black eye.
In the summer, we played until late at night throughout the neighborhood.
Fire was my favorite toy.

I liked eating the Paste. And on hot summer days we'd also chew TAR from the streets. We didn't have Walnuts, we had Pea Shooters -- now a Class 3 'Firearm' :-) -- and snowball fights in winter and I did give a neighbor girl a black eye with one by accident (I'd be in prison for that today).
And yep in summer we were basically gone all day long. Playing, exploring and roaming wherever. Just had to be home when the street lights went on (I don't recall 'eating').
We didn't 'play' with fire, just started little ones to melt the lead to make fishing sinkers. But we did catch spiders, big ones, 'Banana Spiders' (which I now find are venomous).
Sheesh, why are we here????
