I loved my Spirograph.

I also liked my Slinky, Silly Putty, the magic Eight Ball, Ouija Board, Twister, Jump Rope, Jacks and Hopscotch. I liked lawn darts but they don't make them anymore…too dangerous…grr, oh and I love archery.

I also liked paying Spades and Scrabble with my family. 500 Dice was also fun…I think that is called Farkle and May I which is a fun card game.

Now I like to play Scattergories and Apples To Apples with the kids:)

My kids had Etch-a-Sketch, they were kind of cool. Anyone ever have Lincoln Logs or an Erector Set? Or a chemistry set? I had one and made some pretty weird stuff, mostly what stunk to high heaven.

We had an Ouija board for a while, I couldnt get anything out of it. My wife and daughter used it for a time until something happened that scared the bejeebers out of them and they had me burn it up.

We used to build clubhouses that usually fell apart in the first wind storm. We had rules to join, you had to have good comic books was one rule and no girls allowed. I think those were the only rules.

We built ice caves in the back yard. That was super fun! Childhood was such a blessing!
