Sorry, Millennials, only Boomers can identify these Sixties toys from their shapes alone
Do you recognize any of these silhouettes from childhood?
Toys may be more sophisticated and complex now than they were in the Sixties, but sometimes simpler is better. Why have to worry about batteries when you could make it work every time with a quick windup?
It was also a time before strict safety requirements were put in place. There were dangerous products for kids that reached insanely hot temperatures, contained toxic chemicals and even had sharp metal spikes.
But the same inventive spirit that birthed a few less-than-safe gadgets also created many far out and endlessly entertaining toys that only Boomers remember.

Didn't do as well as I thought I would.
Oh well...if they had Etch-a-Sketch, Mattel Thingmaker or Super Spirograph, I might have done better!
But that's because I gave her mine. Definitely my Hot Wheels collection, a satellite launcher from Major Matt Mason (it was a fun toy in itself), at least one Wizzer, Spirograph, some games including Milles Borne. Maybe Barrel of Monkeys. She had a Mr. Potato Head. Some trolls.
I don't remember lite-brite looking like that. Kids would come from other neighborhoods to play rockem sockem robots. Best toy ever.
