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 never had an Easy Bake oven, I had the Holly Hobbie version.

I loved when I was *really* little my Fisher Price castle. I was disappointed the newer versions are more "boy" or "girl" oriented.

I loved my Barbie dolls and had a killer Star Wars collection, at least for the first two movies.

And man, would we play a lot with my dad's monopoly set.

And Merlin! That's dating me. I had that Merlin toy that was all the rage. You could play tic tac toe and name that tune and a few other games on it.

I had the Fisher Price House. My little people's family name was Fido. Yeah. I don't know why. I played with that a lot. I would do these elaborate stories with them and I would be one of the participants. I was their giant friend ("Giant Alien"? heh) that would help them do all kinds of things like get on the roof, or fly, etc.

I had the Fisher Price house too. with the doorbell and the dog house painted on the back.

And I had the Sesame Street thing LP is talking about below.

I lived for Lego myself. Though Lite Brite also rocked.

I have wanted a Snoopy Sno-cone maker since I was tiny and I asked for it every year and never got it. *pouts*
