Sue/Gwyneth Didn't realise that Viewmasters dated back to then or that they were still going strong! Had a whole load of discs from kids tv series when I was a kid. We must also have had shares in MB games during my childhood, first game I remember having was Dragster where you powered these tiny plastic cars with the flick of a marble.

My girls had the little striped dolls buggies, that must have been in the late 70s-80s. Who remembers the little plastic red dolls pram? Margaret

Tiny Tears! speaking of which... my first daughter was so small when born, Tiny tears clothes were the only ones that fit her.. awww.... she is now 12 and taller than me with size 7 feet! lol

Margaret do you mean the one with the fixed hood and yellow wheels? Wow do I feel old!!!!!!!!! Julie xxx

Julie I had the Disney shakermaker what about Katie copycat julie

Julie it sounds familiar, remind me. Julie xxx

Julie She was a doll that you put a pen in her hand, and she had a mimi me that then copied everything you made Katie draw/write. julie

What about my plastic projector which had a film strip with a few 'slides' on it to constitute a story. I 'showed my film' on the bedroom wall, and my sister charged us pennies for chocolates from her little plastic chocolate dispenser. And yes, I sneakily bought clackers with my pocket money too - kept them hidden as they were banned at home and school - too many broken wrists! LOL! Sue (in NZ, but in England then)

Now I remember my best friend had one! Julie xxx

Does anyone remember 'Linka'. It came in powder form, you mixed it with water and poured it in rubber moulds. You left it in the airing cupboard to set hard and then popped out the individual bricks to make a house. You could then paint it. It was so frustrating as the bricks would break when you used to pop them out of the mould. It took ages to make a tiny house. I gave up and went back to lego.

Just found some Linka for sale on ebay. Brought back memories.
