Vintage Toy Week

The 1990s brought lots of new toys to the marketplace...Tickle Me Elmo, Beanie Babies, Nintendo and Sega are a few. Beanie Babies were quite the rage, may adults even enjoyed collecting them ...
But my daughter was quite fond of Furby, so that brings memories back to the 90s for me, and that is the feature of this Friday post!

Vintage Toy Week

During the 1980s, there were a lot of popular toys, including Care Bears, Cabbage Patch dolls, Pogo Balls, and Pound Puppies.  There were more, but you'll have to click here to see what I'm talking about...

The one that I remember best is the Cabbage Patch Doll. I think there were even shortages and back orders due to the high demand for this item.  And they are still around today!

Some call them Clackers...some call them Ker-bangers...in any event, in the 

 1970's they were a pretty popular toy.

Spirograph!  What fun!

A Spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. It was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.
"Spirograph" has also been used to describe a variety of software applications that display similar curves. It has also been applied to the class of curves that can be produced with the drawing equipment, and therefore may be regarded as a synonym of hypotrochoid. The name has been a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc., since it bought the Denys Fisher company.
