Who knew that there was a toy hall of fame?

[smg01]

I didn't. But there is and one of this year's inductees is the Easy Bake Oven. I loved my EBO when I was growing up. In fact, I was just thinking about it the other day. I may have to see if it's still tucked away somewhere at my parents' house. And if so, dig it out.

It's not mentioned in the story, but I also loved my Lite Brite.

What were some of your favorite toys when you were growing up?

I wasn't really much of a girly-girl either. I liked sports a lot too. I suspect one of the big attractions with the oven was getting to eat the results. :)

I remember playing a lot of board games too. At the moment I'm remembering Scrabble and Sorry with fondness. Also Chinese Checkers.

ooo. Chinese Checkers.

I liked that, Chutes and Ladders (when I was smaller), um, Sorry, LIFE, and Clue.

Despite my love of language, I have never cared for scrabble or boggle or their ilk. Just can't wrap my head around letter puzzles like that I suppose. It's my kryptonite. LOL
