Anyone remember Seawees?

Yes, I do! Those were the mermaid dolls, right? I think my sister had one of those.

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

Weebles (I still wish I had my Weebles Haunted House), Tuf Stuff shopping cart, Leggos, anything Barbie, Strawberry Shortcakes, Cabbage Patch Kids, Little People, Monster Molds (I can still smell that gooey plastic stuff that I used to make skeletons with), AFX tracks, tea sets, Atari, this doll named Snuggles who used to roll her head and 'snuggle' with a blanket or a teddy bear or something. There was also this perfume maker thing where you could make your own bottles of perfume, actually it was more like scented water that lost it's scent after a day or so.

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

did anyone mention this? Remember Simon? (with the lights!)

Or Speak -n-Spell?

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

I remember Simon!!!! Oh my goodness, i didn't even venture in to board games....

remember connect four
Perfection
OPERATION!!!!!!

Seawees were the little mermaids that sat in their own little sponges and they came with a baby and a pet.

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

I remember the Seawees too. I liked Snorkles better and those Smurf figures. I collected so many of them! I still have a few!

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

Oh I forgot about seawees!! They used to be bathtime toys, but when you actually got them wet they would be all squishy!!

How about Mon-chi-chis?? Remember the song for them?

And the Shirt Tales!!

Re: QOTD: What were your favorite toys to play with when you were young?

I have to say, the kids today do not have the fun toys that we had when we were kids! Some of my favorites were:

Rainbow bright
Nintendo with the power pad
slip and slide
big wheels
lite brite
toy guns and swords
barbies
strawberry shortcake
transformers and the other one that was like that..i cant think of the name right now
THUNDERCATS!!
cabbage patch kids
skip it
sit and spin
easy bake oven
shrinky dinks

The best has to be the old playgrounds! We used to climb the monkey bars that were like 10 feet off the ground, with metal bars, and concrete underneath and all that..Sometimes we fell and scraped our knee, but we put a bandaid on it and got up and continued playing..not looked for a lawyer to sue the playground like they do today!

Anyone remember the old playground at Barnum Woods or the one at the Lido Beach park? Those were the best!
