I used to like these. The photo caption calls them Jacob's Ladder Click Clack Fidget Toy. I just used to call them Click Clacks, but when searching them before the gadget that causes two balls to click together kept showing up. I had these colorful ones. When you held it, the blocks would travel down in an interesting way.

I collected slotted race cars.

We didn't have silly putty to copy comic strips, but we did the same thing with wax paper.

This is labeled "Cap-Tins" on the bottom. Not exactly sure what it originally contained. There was a series of them which can be seen on the Internet. They were made in England.

For some reason, I am having trouble posting pictures, but my Mom's Mother passed way at the end of November when I was 5 and my sister was 7. So my Mom didn't want to celebrate Christmas. My Dad felt bad for us and bought me and my sister Sassy Susie dolls and had them in the living room in woven baskets waiting for us to wake up. A few years ago we were offered $1,000. a piece for the dolls. We refused, they mean the world to me and my sister.

Was it, perhaps Saucy Suzie dolls?

Another one.

I actually still have one of these somewhere.

I had one just like is back around 1961-62. It was and still is my favorite Christmas gift. Although, over the years it was lost. Usually, my mom got rid of things after I went off to college. Much of it would be valuable today. Comic books, Erector Sets, Marbles, Yo-yo's, etc. Mom never let anything grow under her feet, and if we were not using it, it was pitched out or given away...

Hanna Barbara animated TV cartoon character figurines.

When I was a kidling someone got me a set of figurine
latex molds of various cartoon charactors...so i would make
plaster of paris, fill the mold, let set a few hours, then take
it out, and if in good shape I would paint it with water color
paints..then give them to others...had a lot of fun with that....
Have never seen that set anywhere.....

my older cousin had a pedal car very much like this one and yes, I was jealous...

My spring-mounted rocking horse - Christmas 1956

George Washington Carver doll. I assume this was not meant to play with; more of a collector's item. Comes with a removable lab coat (much more modern looking that the one he actually wore),

All are games of skill and dexterity...

I loved Silly Putty. I chewed it for hours.
I also liked Play Doh. I ate lots of it.

I woulda loved that...

mother was always buying me dolls. mother loved dolls; me not so much.

I was curious as to how Betsy Wetsy worked, so I cut her open to try and figure it out, then buried her under the front porch...

I still have it. I think I remember seeing it down in the basement. Everything got mixed up when I moved. My great-uncle was a rock hound and lived in southern California. He would send me rock samples from his trips out in the desert.They are in that case - Apache tears, mineral crystals, petrified wood, dried mud form hot springs.

If I was a girl, this would be my favorite toy:
