Almost Forgotten Toys from the ‘70s
Here is a nostalgic list of some toys from the past that Gen Xers should remember well.

Although much of the entertainment that kids today have available to them is brought to them virtually via their phones and tablets, the toys they have actually have some similarities between the toys we had in the ‘70s.
Everything seems to light up, walk, talk, cry, poop, or fly. Our toys behaved similarity though their sophistication might have been a little more limited.
Where electronic toys were starting to rise in popularity in the ‘70s, we did have some toys that were more mechanical in nature.
One of my favorites was the Fisher Price garage with small wooden Little People with cars that seemed to roll forever.
Another one of my favorites was the seemingly simple toys called Weebles. Weebles were little egg-shaped people who, as the advertisement claimed, would “wobble but they don’t fall down.”
