Toys just aren't what they used to be.  Kids are not interested in the hands on...play for hours...kind of toys.  No they want a tablet so they can take a mile of selfies or play the same games over and over and over again.  Shopping the other day, made me think of toys I had when I was a kid and wished I could still get them today.  I think my kids would love them.  

Here were my favorite Christmas toys that I got as a kid!  And the one thing I always wanted.

Lite Brite:

Armatron from Radioshack

Rub A Dub Doggie

Commodore 64 with the game: Aztec Challenge

AND River Raid

 

Mall Madness

 

I was a pretty lucky kid.  I usually got what I wanted.  But living overseas, electrical toys were difficult to have because of the higher wattage used in Germany.  I always wanted a Nintendo!

 

I still have some of my childhood toys.  Here's a gem!  My daughter, Chloe, is playing with it.  Do you remember it?

Who remembers this toy?
