Talking Point: Favourite Toys
Created | Updated Nov 16, 2004
Scrabble, Top Trumps, an old teddy bear or a Slinky? They all bring back fond - or not so fond - memories. What were your favourite toys from childhood?
Do modern children have better toys then you had? Were the crazes for pogo-sticks and roller-skates more meaningful then? Can an afternoon spent with a PlayStation 2 ever compare to an afternoon with Mr Potato Head?
- Who is your favourite - Barbie or Sindy? Did you have a wardrobe full of outfits for yours?
- Did you take one particular toy with you everywhere?
- Do you remember Pong?
- Were board games the highlight of your week, or something that only came out during rainy school holidays? Which ones did you play, and who with?
- Did you know that skateboards have been around for over 40 years? Could you do stunts or did you have trouble standing upright?
- Lego or Meccano? Which did you have?
- What toys did you take on holiday to play with on the beach?
