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. Barbies
- 2. Skateboards
- 3. Zippy, the Howdy Doody Monkey
Other popular toys from my childhood were:
- • Hula Hoop
- • Slinky
- • Mr. Potato Head
- • Lincoln Logs
- • Lionel Toy Trains
- • Duncan Yo Yo
- • 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.
Gratitude:
God Bless. Thank you for sharing in my world and sharing your time and thoughts with me. I appreciate y’all very much.
