Thank you for this wonderful trip back to the days of families watching TV together and the commercials weren’t so many and so boring.

Does anyone remember a toy back in the 60’s, the toy had an coffee maker type hot plate covered with a clear dome. Inside the dome you would place a wax square shaped like a starburst inside and lock the dome then turn up the heat and watch the wax square grow into a dinasaur or other creature. I am trying to remember the name. PLeae help. lol

Candy, I also count the “frisbee on a stick” as one of my favorites. I’m not positive, but I think it was called a “Whirly-Twirl” and probably was made by Wham-O like the Frisbee and Hula Hoop.

Darlene,
I remember the Tommy Burst machine gun. My brothers and I had GI Joe’s, pogo sticks, roller skates that clipped to your shoes, and stretch armstrong. I enjoyed your article and added you as a Triond friend.
Thanks for sharing the memories.
