Many items popped into my head, it's insane how many toys children have. There were tons that I loved, that I remember being completely enamored with. I attempted to pick the ones that I played with longest and wow, I really enjoyed playing with dolls.
We'll have to do another list for board games and video games. It wasn't easy to exclude those items from this list, but I knew that I had to!
Nothing too flashy, but it gets the job done.
For number five I almost put Puppy Surprise, the dog stuffed animal that had a velcro pouch in its belly that held anywhere from three to five tiny puppies. I also had Kitty Surprise, and probably even a bear one. I remember bringing it to school in second grade and playing with it at recess. I loooooooved it. But then I remembered Skip-it, and how amazingly fun it was and how devastated I was on that fateful day that I left mine in the park and someone took it. Still makes me feel choked up.
I wish I could find a photo of the genie dolls, but I can't seem to find them online anywhere. I forget what they were called exactly, but they were tiny dolls that had a bunch of accessories and they fit inside of lamps. The lamps would open up hinge style and you could set up the room. I had a whole bunch of them and they were awesome.
Just a final note: I absolutely regret getting rid of my Barbies. I had school teacher, doctor, vet, and I miss them so much D:
-Miranda
EDIT!!
After additional research encouraged by Jacki, I managed to find the name of the genie dolls and even some photos!
I had all four dolls AND the magic carpet!
My Magic Genie was awesome. Once I got into junior high I stopped playing with them, but I kept them in my room alongside my Garfield books and my nail polish collection.
Just for fun, here's a runner-up toy:
Pretty flower princess!!
I only had one Princess of the Flower doll, but I thought it was so awesome. I'd open it and close it over and over again with the provided toy key. And here's a fun fact; Fun Dip was my favorite candy when I was little and I liked to use the key to scoop up the powder because I didn't like the white sugar sticks. Children are weird.
LOL that's hilarious, cause I HATED skip it!! I could never "skip it" I like jump ropes better. I even liked RIBBON DANCERS better hahaha <3 I will post my list later tonight :D

ReplyDeleteI am also baffled that we only shared one favorite toy on our lists. BARBIES <3
ReplyDeleteImagine me also wearing neon pink shorts that went up to my bellybutton.
ReplyDeleteAww, grandpa! :) I wondered if we were going to have any favorite toys in common. I'm glad to see even one!
