Toys from my childhood

I was born in 1953. We didn’t have video games. We had physical toys and playing cards. We glued cars together from kits. Here are some of the toys:

Lincoln Logs

Silly Putty

Erector Sets

Pick-Up Sticks

Super Ball

Hula Hoop

Slinky

Play-Doh

A Play-Doh movie is in the works from Emily V. Gordon and Jon M. Chu.

The History Channel ran a series called The Toys That Built America.

My generation was the first exposed to and motivated by toy ads on TV.

On April 30, 1952 Mr. Potato Head became the first toy advertised on TV. 🥔 pic.twitter.com/4ZQ60rNOjF
