ten cent wooden airplanes that used a rubber band to help fly the plane.
You would attach the rubber band to the propeller and a little hook on the plane. Twist the prop to make the band tight and let it rip. |

My Huffy (brand) Cheater Slick bicycle, complete with banana seat and sissy bar, and those handle bars that were sort of like from a Harley Davidson motorcycle...

I use to get a bag of plastic army soldiers for about 88 cents. Then I would set them up and shoot them down with rubber bands.
Marbles was also fun to play. We would trade marbles or duel for them. but most of the time it was sports for me. Someone always had a soccer ball, basketball, or football to play with. |

My Daisy BB Gun...
... my older brother had a Crossman air rifle, that you could pump up and load pellets in the thing... ... we had one of the very first "pong" TV video games by Intellivision... ... the Monopoly board game ... a card game called "Rack-O" ... several different chess sets ... had a small, portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, the reels were only about 3-inches in diameter ... my first stereo system was a Sears and Roebuck all-in-one, it had a turntable, an AM/FM tuner... and had an 8-track tape player on board... the coolest thing about the 8-track unit is that it was set up so that it also RECORDED 8-track tapes through a microphone... then the media became obsolete... used to have a blast recording my friends when I was a kid... it came with a cheap mono microphone... it is still at my parent's house, in the same place it has been since I graduated high school in 1980... still works, too... well at least some parts of it... I don't think it records anymore... you used to be able to buy blank 8-tracks at the department stores... or, you could put a piece of tape across the notch on store bought 8-tracks and record over them... not many people ever got to experience a recordable 8-track player I bet... ... in 1978 I had one of the very first guitar synthesizers... it was called an "ARP Avatar" and my sister loaned me the money to buy it... ARP was at one time a very popular analog synthesizer manufacturer... they put so much money into the ARP Avatar that they went bankrupt... they only produced 300 of the units, ever, and I just happened to get one... they looked like this: 
One of my best musical "toys" ever was the electric guitar my parents got me for Christmas in 1976... I still play, I give guitar lessons, and have played professionally on and off all my life... |

Silly Putty...
... you could stretch it out, and press it onto a newspaper, and it would attract the news print. Superballs... ... there is most likely one of those still stuck on top of my grandfather barn roof... them things would just CRAZY bounce... |

Look at the awesome graphics on my favorite game on Atari.
On the left was the sword, and the right was the dragon, and in the middle, i guess that was the bucket we had to puke in, because the graphics were this poor. |
