Sorry if I'm getting a bit carried away, but stickers were a great passion for me as a kid. I used to collect fancy letters:



And scientifically-themed stickers:



And I guess these need no explanation for their fascination:

Those letter stickers look awesome!

I used to have letter stickers. They didn't looks exactly like those, But they we're definately similar!

my favorite childhood toy was probably my pot handle lol ok i know that sounds weird, but i never went anywhere without it prob from the age of 10-20 lol. Before that it was prob my rara which is a rabbit i used to rub the heck out of its ears and bite lol. Fav activity, um prob being a couch lol... we had a game were everybody got a chance to be a couch and then we all sat on you and jumped around on you, my oldest brother would play that game with me forever because he knew i love pressure and bouncing lol. i had a weird childhood lolol

Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated

I was obsessed with Cabbage Patch dolls as a kid! That was my all time favorite toy... oh and there was a time in my childhood when I used on ONLY talk about it. I must have been fun to be around at the time.

I loved Lego - really was crazy about lego. I also had every conceivable Star Wars toy - but didn't care a bit for Star Wars (it was the thing to get your kid when I was young). I never had a Spirograph, but I recently got a cheap dollar store version of this toy - at age 37! I love it to death - and I even came up with the mathematical formula for the x and y coordinates for any Spirograph design, depending on the radius of the stationary part and the movable parts (when they are circular) for whatever offset where you put the pencil - I think Spirograph is fun for an Aspie like me, especially one who likes mathematics.

I loved lego too. I remember I had a hospital set as a child. I also liked scalextrix as a kid.
I am told that I had a pram and would throw the doll out and replace it with snails which I wheeled around the garden instead.

I played with my Barbie dolls a lot growing up. I also colored and played outside on my swing set, rode my bike, roller skated, played with chalk, played with my brothers toys and played in the sandbox. I did some pretend play like cooking ironing clothes, pushing my doll in a stroller or buggy, I played with Legos, Knex, trains, blocks, and dump trucks. Yep I was like a typical child. I also played video games and watched some TV. I watched a lot less TV as a kid. Now I think I am starting to lose interest in TV because I am watching less of it now. When it's on, it's either my shows I usually watch or A League of Their Own.

I played with Barbies all the time my mom says. I didn't have much doll stuff. Lot of my dolls were Barbies and the furniture and accessories.

I still have toys and occasionally play with them. Lot of mine are in Montana, espeically my Happy Meal toys but I seemed to have replaced them when I moved here because my husband brought a bunch over two years ago. Some of them were duplicates of what I have. I still have lot of my toys and the only toys I don't really have anymore were toddler toys.

But I seem to lost half my stuff like books and puzzles when we moved to Montana because I haven't seen them since and some our our old puzzles and games got moldy out in the grainary so my parents had to toss them out. I even lost some of my Littest Pet Shop items. I only found the Pet Shop and the stuff in it and it was covered in dirt but the stuff inside was still good. Now the animals today look slu*ty. I liked the old school kind.
