All I ever had of those was Fuzzy Felt which I loved, Air fix Models weren’t the best in my view, I use to prefer Revell Kits. I had a hand me down View Master and an empty Cadbury’s Chocolate Machine, Spirograph, an original Escalado with lead Gee Gees and Action Man. Nice link Bazf.:)

Re: Christmas toys.
 

i still have quite a few of them in my toy cupboard at my moms house lol

Re: Christmas toys.
 

I loved fuzzy felts too! I was always really disappointed at Christmas and birthdays by not being bought Meccano and Airfix toys because I was a girl!

Mastermind I also remember, seem to recall I was a bit of a demon at it!

Stylophone, Tressie (spelling?????) - the doll who's hair grew, Pippa dolls and Etch-a-sketch.

Was Spirograph the one where you had circular discs that you stuck your pen in and spun round - or was it the one that had three 'arms' where you put your pencil in one arm and traced an outline with the other to make the shape bigger? Either way, I had one. What was the other called?

I had the fuzzy felt, majic robot and the chocolate machine.

Great trip down memory lane Bazf, I had fuzzy felt, weebles, girls world, we had a lot of the games between us too. Always wanted a train set but wasn't allowed because I was a girl.

LOl Grego the advantage for me when i was young was i could play with my girlie stuff then invade my brothers room for the cars & scalextric:D best of both worlds

Re: Christmas toys.
 

I too spent hours playing with fuzzy felt & spirograph. I also had a tiny tears but my brother played with it while I played with tin can alley.

Re: Christmas toys.
 

i never noticed stickkle bricks ,, my kids played for hours with those ,,

Re: Christmas toys.
 

Aaaah.....Memories. We had Weebles, Fuzzy Felt and quite a few of those games. Grego had a Girls World, I'm having a horrible flashback that I may have cut a lot of its hair off during a fit of temper....:o or was it the Tiny Tears doll.....

Re: Christmas toys.
 

Erm me too now i did scalp tiny tears my mum was horrified :D

Re: Christmas toys.
 

Oh my god how great was that i remember loads of them and do you know that around half of that stuff is still going today, I work in a toy shop and it is just amazing to see that some of the stuff has the same packaging (sea monkeys)!! you can still buy spirograph and tiny tears and etch a sketch and my little pony and cabbage patch kids and strawberry shortcake and keepers and fuzzy felts and top trump cards and airfix and transformers and rubiks cube, strech armstrong, mr frostie (i always wanted one of them but i never got one) i got a spirograph every year instead. lol Silly putty still lives, operation got better,cadbury chocolate machine a bargain at £4.99, shaker maker even the Chopper bike has re-invented itself, so you see we are not really that far away from the toys that once was!

This is for you and your knowledge MUMMIBOO;

My little sister had the entire care bear set and I am wondering if they are still about?

Re: Christmas toys.
 

Mummiboo!
You never did.
It was the magic slate you had every year.
There were things in the list that I can remember playing with when I was a child.
Like the petite typwriter and the sindy doll.

Re: Christmas toys.

Re: Christmas toys.
