Chantal, we were also into eraser collecting! We also collected notepapers, postcards, embroidered badges, stickers and swap cards!!! (I had special "swap card" albums but never swapped them because I loved them so much! (My favourites were dogs and horses, especially Clydesdales!)

And did anyone have "Fashion Plates" or a "Spirograph"??? Fashion Plates were a craft toy where you put together plastic plates to design an outfit and then rubbed over it with graphite on paper to make your model's "outfit".
Check out fashion plates here:

I think we were personally responsible for the loss of a small section of rainforest due to this toy... We both had folders which were our portfolios! (Maybe that's why we are both Bold & the Beautiful tragics now...)

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I am wetting my pants!!!!!!

This is the bestest, mostest, funest thread EVA!

I also collected 'rubbers', note/writing paper, patches, stickers, badges!

You hit the nail on the head there, we can blame our parents for that addiction!!

Another fav thing to do was double dutch with the skipping ropes.

Oh, and elastics!! Where 1 person held each end with there legs and the other had to do certain jumps over it to a tune, then land on the elastic and each tie you got thru it, the elastic went higher!! We were to cheap to buy them, we made our own!! Did anybody else play that??

Yep, remember playing elastics too... wow, not that's a blast from the past!!!

Vick, I was going to put that along side pool ponies!!! (Elastics that is!)

Another one for elastics!!!
(And yes, we made our own too.)

Did anyone have a Goo Goo doll? They looked like this...

Ummmm, NO!! That looks ugly!!

We know!!!
They were a little puppet and you put your hand inside the doll and then put a blanket with a hole in it over its head and hold it like a baby...they were hilarious...the head looked like a potato!

i thought it was a potato to begin with and i thought your parents must have been playing a nasty trick on you!!

I also collected emboidered badges and trading cards!!! OMG what didn't I collect?!?!?

I didn't have fashion plates, but had spirograph and LOVED it!!! Also on that same note, I had Magidraw which was a little like stencilling, but for example if you wanted to draw a horse, the anatomy was all different sections on the stencils so you can draw it galloping, trotting etc. Also my Magna Doodle was a fave (until my bro sat on it lol). Had the Etch A Sketch - liked it but was a bit hard to get a decent looking picture!!!

I also had a Viewmaster which I loved (my favourite reels were of "The Fox and the Hound" - the Disney movie.

Mandy we had the bananas instead of the pool ponies and would you believe I still use the same one I got in the 80's in my own pool! It looks still like new!!!

I used to also raid my brothers toys!!! They had lots of wrestlers that I'd borrow and they'd gate crash my Barbie house or put on a WWF Summerslam or Royal Rumble show for the Barbies!!!

lol, I loved swimming, and finding "jewles" in the pool, because i was a mermaids thats what mermaids did!
