In this day of electronic and digital entertainment, you can create an entire world to play in using computers. Although this is an amazing and welcome development that pushes the way we normally view our borders and what's possible within them, a lot of us regularly hark back to much simpler times when batteries weren't even required to enjoy the most popular toys of all. In fact, against all expectations, many of these toys have survived the onslaught of computer games and cool graphics and are a part of our daily lives as we know it.
What are the favorite toys of the century, that just don't seem to get old? Here is a list of those old reliables that more than offer us hours of fun, also proffer a unique brand of entertainment that involves our imagination so much more. It is perhaps because of this fact that they are much more fun and have a lot more staying power than those run off the mill PC games could ever have. They include: 1. The Slinky: Not only does the slinky look awesome going down your stairs it is also a thinking man's toy, with the ability to be a model for a variety of physics and scientific concepts such as wave motion. Although it looks extremely simple, the slinky involves many complicated laws of physics and gravity as relates to its movement and behavior. When you become tired thinking about its value to science, it's also just fun to imagine it as a King Cobra chasing you around the house! 2. Play Doh: One of the coolest substances to ever grace our childhood hands would probably have to be Play Doh. Created by Noah and Joseph McVicker as a substitute for modeling clay, Play Doh exploded as a phenomenon that saw everything strips of clay noodles and french fries becoming a staple of the playroom as well as elaborate figures such as dinosaurs and even entire cities from more adroit hands. Truly they made toy history with this one! 3. Matchbox: How could anyone's growing up period during the 60s be complete without the Matchbox? This popular cast toy, which measures about 2.5 inches has been played by generations of boys and girls, and has come in everything from the classiest sports cars to trucks and ambulances. More than being toys they are also popular collectors items, so all you young at heart out there, hold on to your toys! |
