Friday Frivolity - Favorite Toys When You Were a Kid

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

At last week's party, we shared our favorite hobbies.

This week, we're sharing our top toys from when we were kids! 

I had great plans to share all sorts of silly, Little-Lisa stories to go along with each of these playthings, but then I went and broke my toe (it is not the first time, believeitornot) and since I've currently got it propped up on an Everest of pillows with an application of ice every 20 minutes in the hopes that I'll be able to wedge the darned thing into my skate for my lessons later, I'll keep the list brief:

1. Lego Bricks

Gv playing with my ancient Lego bricks -- in the original box! I still love playing with these things!

2. Shrinky Dinks

I think I have two sheets left of my Shrinky Dink paper -- when Gv gets a little older, we'll create something fun!

3. Spirograph

4. Coloforms

Gv got this set as a hand-me-down. I don't think mine are still around, but I had one that was Snoopy and a Muppets set and they were the coolest things ever!

5. Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs & wooden blocks

Gv's had my colorful (probably lead paint-covered) wooden blocks to play with since she was a baby. She has my Tinker Toys, too, but we're still searching for the Lincoln Logs...

Now time for the new stuff!
