At Christmas, it wasn’t unusual for my mother and grandmother to start an assembly line to produce a bunch of sock monkeys from hunting socks.

They were all about the same but each one did seem to have its own personality.

My daughter had one of those. It had already been put together when we got it. She carried it everywhere until age five or so.

She was probably two or so when we gave it to her. She named it Woose, and we never knew why. BTW, the name rhymes with moose, but I really doubt we'd said the word moose around her by that time.
 
Spinning top and hula hoop .. not sure if they are still around.
Hula hoops are still around. Now they are available in a few diff sizes. I bought one for fitness but only used it a few times.
