Oh yeah...loved the Spirograph! My mom even used it to 'decorate' her holiday newsletter one year. And there was another creative 'toy' that we had where you put a blank white card into this spinning thing and squirted paint onto it while it was going around. Then you had these psychadelic designs on the cards when it dried. Anyone remember those and what it was called? Man - that thing made a mess (maybe that's why we loved it so much!).

Emily - I don't know that the little people were actually recalled, but they did stop making them in favor of a much larger version (that a child couldn't possibly swallow). My dad eventually worked for Fisher Price for a few years and was telling me about the end of the little people. Now, I believe they are just called "People". Original, huh? I loved the little school bus where the little people moved up and down as the bus wheels turned! And I was also a big fan of the farm set - go figure.
