Toys 

  • stick horse - the head was a stuffed sock, with button eyes and ears plus a fringed made from the other sock. Reins were attached to his embroidered mouth, and the whole head fastened to a broomstick.
  • a dollhouse: while it could be perfection lovingly crafted by a grandparent, it might just as well be stacked cardboard cartons and some crude furniture made by the kid herself. Remember: this was a time of real mud pies decorated with dandelion petals!
  • store-bought toys: well (sigh) there was always the ubiquitous Shirley Temple doll. And when the Dionne quintuplets created a furor, there were - Christmas 1935, I think - sets of five truly ugly rubber babies in a basket. Both genders got pot-metal cap guns for July 4, which lasted for a month or two of playing cowboy. Trucks and cars would have acquired dents and scrapes, and maybe lost a wheel or two..
  • card and board games - Monopoly was a biggie, of course. Here's where kids and the grownups could share some time.
  • corn husk doll
  • Johnny Jump-up, (little guy on the end of a stick that had dangly arms and legs).
  • Historical Folk Toys
