80%. Always preferred Matchbox cars though. Slower but more realistic & you'd have trucks, tractors, etc.

Here's a question for all: Did anyone else who had a Lite Brite have the 'motion' add-on kit? It was like an extra overlay you'd attach, with a lever on the bottom that made the screen go up and down somehow making the picture 'animate' slightly. I seem to be the only one I've ever known of who had that, or even heard of it, but I definitely remember having it and playing with it. 🤔

I remember that and am pretty sure we had it.

I remember making a Mr Bill (from Saturday Night Live) out of Play-Doh, not realizing that once he 'dried' he'd fall apart, and that's exactly what happened. Still, appropriate considering all the ways Mr Bill ended up on SNL. 😉😆

70% Had no interest in Baby Alive when it was first out and not interested now. Never did tbe traditional baby doll play at all. (Funny now to think about that as both a mom and a daycare teacher. 😄) Playdough I have and will always love however. Like nothing better than an excuse to sit down and mold something cool alongside my kids or students. 🙂

80% There's a few I'd play with my grandkids. There's also a few I'd put up and collect.

60% similar. I had Action Jackson (think of him as G.I. Joe's little brother).

For those wondering about Squirmles - you may have seen them before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirmles

What, include Hot Wheels but not Barbie? Shameful. 😉😆 BTW, I absolutely loved Shrinky Dinks. I made SO many pendants and pairs of earrings out of that stuff. Still have some of them in my childhood jewelry box packed away somewhere. I seem to recall making a lot of Snoopy jewelry and different Batman logos. I remember they made pre-printed sheets you could buy, but I usually got the plain blank sheets as I liked to design my own stuff.

80% My mom wouldn’t let me have a Baby Alive because of the “mix the actual ‘food’, feed the baby, change the diaper, wonder if all the food came out” factors. I hated her for that, but now I TOTALLY get it! 😆

I remember thinking of Baby Alive at the time, "Why would I want a doll that really poops? Yuck!"🤣 At least the BA of our childhood was a cute doll. Have you seen the modern version? Looks like some anime nightmare!

100% similar. The toys I chose were ones I would play to entertain my kids or grandkids. Hot Wheels, Matchbox Cars and those Motorific cars and tracks were my favorites!

I always enjoyed pick up sticks and do again if I had the sticks
