I remember getting my etch a sketch back in 1978 when I was 5. I used it for at least 4 years until it started to have issues with erasing the previous sketches.

I think the original lego sets were early inspiration for all budding entrepreneurs. We start with an idea and a bunch of blocks, then we piece them together until it looks like something.

I LOVE this thread, lol.

I had soooo many favorites. I was born in 71, so I had a few of the toys from the 60's, my all time favorites of the 70's though, were the weebles. I had the ranch house, the tree house, and the play ground. I LOVED that little round bottomed horse that they weebles rode in.

I got a little older, and spend my time playing Atari, Space Invaders was my favorite. It's pretty funny,
My husband's favorites were GI Joes, and Transformers. He saved some of them, and passed them down to our kids. He gave his transformers to them about a year and a half before the movie came out a couple years ago, and now their favorite is transformers. It's pretty neat to watch them share their love of these action figures, lol.

My bike (with training wheels at first)

My log cabin building blocks came in a close second. This was before legos, and I think it actually inspired legos. These had a cutout in the middle where you could fit another piece connecting the two and eventually forming, a log cabin.

I believe there is a strong connection between a toy you receive, like and use and the adult life works. For instance, I had a little piano and have a true one, I had a little farm with all kind of different animals, and long during my life, I reared multiple kind of domestic (and non) animals, I played doctor and cured some people, at least of things which were only needing time and devotion, I was the teacher of a group of cats...and when I can, I teach, English, French and others at a lesser level. So, I say, our gift, our toys, have to be chosen with care, and love. Amicalement. Catherine

It was Spirograph for me I used to spend hours making ever more complex and colourful patterns. OMG I had actually forgotten about it until I saw it listed there.
