Very good Pie! I had forgotten about the projector!!
My mood ring always stayed black due to chronic cold hands that I've suffered all my life! Oh the misery...they are cold now!

I did not have one, but a girl down the street did. She tried to have a bake sale but it didn't work out too well as I recall. I think she finished them off in her mothers real oven.

Pie did you play with Flatsy Patsy too?
They were strange but bendable and you could change their outfits too!

Never seen one of them, we had the Chatty Cathy dolls. There were 4 of us girls in a row.

Nothing better than a good ol dirt clod, or maybe one of those rubberband wind up balsawood planes.

I have had those planes too. You ever noticed how easy they broke, you were always buying new ones.

Oh you rich city kids....
We called it a good day when we found a surveyors wooden triangle to nail to an old broomstick.....that was a keeper toy.
Otherwise we would just find a good stick in the woods. It would be a horse, a shotgun, an airplane etc.
No wonder kids today have no imagination.
We also caught insects, mostly beatles, and frogs to play with.

I never went for the little bugs, I went after the big birds [pigeons]

Pie, I think you would have fit right in, in our little group. I read your bird on a string post and was envious...... wonder why none of us ever thought of that.

I'll agree the kids today don't have a clue how to be imaginitive without using technology.
I do confess I had the best of both worlds...lots of fun toys, but I also loved playing outside til dark chasing lightening bugs, building pinestraw houses, baking mud pies, playing kick the can and catching crawfish in the creek. We were encouraged to play outdoors!
What did you do with the triangle and broomstick?
