None of the above! by smcbride :: NR6

Cap pistol, sling shot, football, baseball, glove, basketball, bow, arrows, are just a few. My favorites would be my wagon, BB gun and bike. Feeding Dinosaurs wasn't bad either!

Lincoln Logs by AnonBCA :: NR5

I was addicted to Lincoln Logs. I also felt quite supernatural with my light-up He-man sword.

Man-o-man, what about the Lego?! by NomadSoul :: NR6

Lego was the best--it was the toy that was always new. I tried out a dozen different careers when I was a kid, just playing with Lego (from EMT to fighter pilot to pirate to giant robot technician). I really loved making new creations and finding unique ways to put the blocks together--especially knee and arm joints for giant robots. The ordinary lego hinges weren't strong enough, so I had to improvise. But the biggest challenge was finding enough blocks. I always wanted to build huge complexes full of booby-traps and secret passages, but I never had the parts to make them as big as they really should have been.

No takers on the Easy Bake? by NastyPrincess :: NR5

When my adopted sister was a kid, the one toy she lusted over was an Easy Bake Oven. When she grew up and got her first real job, one of the first things she bought herself was an...you guessed it...Easy Bake Oven. She's a true girly girl too.

The sheer lack of votes for the Easy Bake proves my conjecture however.... O Nerd has no girly girls..... Moo ha ha.... moo ha ha ha. Yeah, take that Vogue!

BUGS! by Liz_Miracle :: NR5

I would take these really large leaves off a tree in our front yard, lay a bunch of roly poly bugs in the center and bind the leaf up with a strand of monkey grass from the garden. I would make several of these and then deploy them on the boy next door or my little brother and watch as the bugs sprung forth as though breaking forth from an insect bastille! So much fun for a little girl :). - no easy bake oven, in fact this shows with my current cooking skills. But bug bombs, I get an A+ in that department.
