Toys from My Childhood

Being the big dork that I am, I spent probably near an hour the other night looking up toys from the 90's. I just had to share some of them with you. What were your favorite toys growing up?
I had this polly pocket set! I loved it!

Oh, beanie babies. Hours of fun. I still have my favorite one...Fleece!

My brother had this, but I remember playing with it. I still remember what the goo felt like!

No explanation necessary.

I remember troll dolls from the house that I was babysat at after school.
Especially the ones with rhinestones on their bellies.

American Girl Dolls <3 Samantha was my first. I also got Kit a few years later.

OH YEAH!

The Cabbage Patch Doll that ate food! Then ate a little girl's hair...and I was terrified of it after.
But I kinda still wish I had it instead of making my mom get rid of it because I was afraid it would eat me.

Mel, these crack me up! I remember the polly pockets--I had one that was a beauty shop..and then I think I had one that was an animal groomer? I'm not too sure--or a pool party? Maybe I'm getting those mixed up with barbie scenes. Anyway, great post! Such wonderful memories--except for the hair eating doll! Aaaahhhh! I used to lock my dolls in the closet at night, lol.

How funny! I was JUST thinking about my Princess Diana Beanie baby! And I restarted my Tamagotchi over winter break and I remembered why I hated that thing - I could never keep it alive longer than one weekend!

ahh I am so upset that can't go back to being a kid and play with these! I LOVED Polly pocket, had a million beanie babies, and craved the cardboard that came out of the easy bake oven! thanks for reminding me of so many memories :)

Polly Pocket, Easy Bake Oven, and Tamagotchi - absolutely!

I had Felicity, not Samantha, but American Girl dolls were the best! I'm pretty sure in my young mind owning all of them would have been the most exciting (and unrealistic) goal ever. Haha.

PS - I don't know how new/old it is, but I love your blog design!
