Oh yeah, Tinker Toys (all wood), loved 'em! And our Lincoln logs were wooden too. Sometimes it pays to be older; some things were just better back then.

We used the Cuisenaire rods in elementary school, didn't know the name. Of course by the 1980's they were clear plastic- oohlala.
I had a ton of My Little Ponies, now that I see my nieces with them they are kind of lame but I loved them.Amanda

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
