Back in the 60's we didn't have the massive selection of toy's that are available today, but we had the best none the less, even by today's standards, and they have proven themselves by withstanding the test of time.
Creepy Crawlers, pour the goo into the bug shaped molds and stick in the maker-baker then out comes a rubbery colorful bug. You can still buy one today but not the edible goo that pretty much tasted like slightly sweet rubber.
Silly putty, still morph's any comic hysterically.
Old Maid will never get old.
Operation, poor guy will never get off that gurney.
Spirograph, Etch-a-Sketch, Hot Wheels, Barbie, and my personal favorite...the Easy Bake Oven!
My Aunt Lori and I used to spend hours in the attic creating concoctions of candy calamity that only a child would find appetizing. I was flummoxed as to why no one wanted to sample our Sugar Babies-Bazooka Bubble Gum pizza!
It seemed like a miracle that with the heat of a light bulb I could bake cakes, cookies and pies. Time seemed suspended as I gazed through the tiny little window and watched as my culinary masterpieces began to rise or melt.
I guess I must have grown up and moved on to other, more mature persuits, but now as a fully grown adult ...I wish I still had my Easy Bake Oven, because I think it would still amaze me!
