Books. I’d go thru 3-4 Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Tom Swift/others each weekend.
80-in-1 (and larger) electronics kits (some of you remember Lafayette I’m sure).
Fixing things (like washing machines, fans and other home appliances).
Chemistry sets
Erector sets
Tinker toys
Lincoln logs
Some LEGO but not that much
Making statues and art out of Ivory Snow flakes…and just playing outside.
We didn’t have to have a lot of toys to play. We made up our own games (usually things like ‘King of the Hill’ if we could find a mound of dirt, or ‘Robin Hood’, or ‘The Lone Ranger’, whatever was on tv the night before).
Did anyone else do that??
