Toys of old

I did a quick search on Legos to see how old they are. They started making them in 1949, but the concept was around long before.

Part of the fun and learning was making the toys our selves ...

Notice her necklace?

The thing I noticed most was the name of the place - Lehman's. Is this a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers?

I know Legos have been around for a while. My son and I have been making things from all the Legos he has collected over the past few years. All the sets are mixed together but it's fun to see what you can build together.

My little brother used to leave Legos on the floor and I'd step on then at night. They hurt a lot.

stepping on legos and little army men is just part of parenting life..

You mean the sets come already put together? Or just with instructions? What's fun and good for creativity is when you gather all the pieces from the old sets and make your own designs. My son is 7 and we both have a great time doing this.

Legos are great for kids to learn to follow organized directions in the sets, too. Good for the brain skills.
Jake will be nine soon and he has gotten to where he can put together quite detailed sets all by himself without frustration. He's learned to follow directions. I'm hoping he won't regress into that guy thing of not reading the directions first.

That's not regressing.
That's preparing him for his man cave.

Hey, this toy thread is popular.
All you old people are reverting back to your childhoods.
Boy, there's a lot of you old people on the forum.

What!?! Why you little whippersnapper!

There was that one old toy where you'd take a large coin or a large button and put some string through it.

Sounds like pendant earrings or something like that...

Blessings.

But reading them would be legalism.

That was girls only see what liberalism has done

Then I guess we don't need to talk about my hopscotch award.

Who is not old enough?

Come on! Those go way back.

I tripped over the transformer power cord of my big brothers slot car track plenty of times in the '60's for me to know I'm not too young for this thread.

four hours of pure hell and anger to build that. I even had to whip out the dremel to get one of the doors to open without opening the other door. jaci loves it.!

you're such a good grandpa! Save that pic for her when she's a teen to prove your devotion, long-suffering, and tolerance.

Best ammo would be your sister's hair pins.

Best target? Sister's bottom.

Probably the best "toy" is the imagination.

I had that toy taken away years ago.

I will post a pic when I go to see her and her with it playing. she just goes to her room and plays with it. colored with her last weekend, much to learn about kids.
