Photo Hunt: Classic


My husband had one in the 70s. I played with one in the 80s. I heard that they make one that counts and has flashing lights now... Not for our son!

We bought him the classic one.

Some things never change. As it should be.

I love those poppers--they haven't changed much except now they have more plastic. :) Unless you go for the fancy one of course. :)

I guess kids' toys now are not as simple as this one. So does your kid enjoy tinkering with this one? :)

Can't be absolutely sure (too long ago), but I believe I had one of those. Nice stuff.

I might have to get one for Miss Peach. I forgot about this classic!

SabineM said...

That is a classic toy. My daughter had one in the 1980s. I guess that means your close to my daughter's age. I think they had something kind of like that in the late 1950s early 1960s when I was a child. I vaguely remember it. Good choice for the theme.

Ha! I remember those too. I went to a hell of a lot of trouble last year trying to find my daughter the exact same fisher price record player that I had as a child *(good old ebay!) only for her to never play with it!! Obviously FAR uncool for her!! She needs an ipod!
