Your favorite childhood toy

[yassmine2878 1]

So Im blowing off the work Im being paid to do by goofing off with one of those 'sticky hands' I got from the 25 cent one-armed bandit the other day. I am having a glorious time flicking it back and forth, getting it alternately stuck to my computer screen or the back of my leather office chair. Occasionally I managed to snag something from the desk itself and send it flying across the room. I havent had this much fun in eons. So what are you favorite toys from back in the day?

Etch-a-sketch seems to be coming back into fashion. My nephew rcv'd one recently as a gift and took it to daycare with him. The babysitter nearly had WWIII on her hands when the other kids started fighting over it. They had never seen one before.
