On 22nd December it’s the first episode of ‘Toys That Made Us’ on Netflix.
This eight-episode documentary is all about the history of important toy lines and I’m really looking forward to it. It got me thinking about the toys that potentially ‘made ME’, my top
Ten favourite toys when I was (and still am some may say) growing up. I made a list and ended up with 40 – 99.9% of this list just fell out of my brain and if you don’t recognise one just go Google and enjoy the minutes turning into many more minutes as you trip down memory lane. The one I couldn’t remember the name for was number a ‘Koosh’ Ball? Who knew!? Named after the sound it makes when it’s caught. Others include Pound Puppies, Boglins..The list continues :
