2024 SYW: Week of 04.15

1. Regardless of whether you had them or not, can you remember three popular toys from when you were a child?

Three popular toys from my childhood were:

1. 1. Barbies
2. 2. Skateboards
3. 3. Zippy, the Howdy Doody Monkey

Other popular toys from my childhood were:

1. • Hula Hoop
2. • Slinky
3. • Mr. Potato Head
4. • Lincoln Logs
5. • Lionel Toy Trains
6. • Duncan Yo Yo
7. • Sting Ray Bicycle

2. Did you ever want something specific as a child, but never had it?

I had bicycles growing up, but the type I really wanted was a Schwinn Sting-Ray. No other bicycle compared to the Sting-Ray even though other companies like Huffy tried to compete and were more affordable.

3. Do you still have any toys or games from your childhood?

The only toy I still have is Zippy, the Howdy Doody Monkey.

4.  I think I’ve asked this before, but what was your favourite toy as a child?

I am not sure if I had a favourite toy as a child. Growing up I had Barbie dolls, loved playing marbles, baseball, freeze tag, riding my homemade skateboard ( steel roller skate wheels attached to a piece of wood), card and board games. This being said I do not recall favouring one particular toy over any other toys.
