My Answer: I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Here are a few that come to mind.
- Creepy Crawlers
- Trolls
- Easy Bake Ovens
- Rubik’s Cubes
- Slinky
- Barbie and Ken dolls
- Hoppity Hops (I had a red one)
- Spirograph
- G.I. Joe’s were popular for boys
- Board games– Twister, Operation, Life, Mouse Trap were a few that were popular

I was so driven by one particular toy, it’s hard for me to remember the others!
That toy? MY LITTLE PONY!
As you can likely imagine on the above, my My Little Pony lives strong today. 🙂
Ahh, yes…. I do remember My Little Pony, with the long mane and tail that you could comb and brush!
Wow, what I can remember is my dog, a demi-wolf!! But she died a natural death when I was a Junior in university.
So sorry about your demi-wolf. It’s always hard to lose a beloved dog.

I am afraid I am admitting my age when I say this, but no, I don’t remember polly pockets. I did look them up though! Thanks for visiting and commenting!
I had Barbie and ken dolls, a cute doctor set, gameboards like Life, Trouble, and Monopoly is my ultimate favourite!
I remember having a doctor’s kit as did my sons. I also had all the games you mentioned and they are still favorites today! Thanks for stopping by!
