Building blocks- Kids would use building blocks to construct small buildings or whatever the kids wanted to make.
Doll- Most girls and some boys had dolls. Dolls were like an extra friend who always agreed and never fought.
Jack in the Box- On a jack in the box there would be a crank that you would turn. The box would play music and then jack would pop out of the top of the box.
Kite- A kite is usually a triangular shaped piece of paper tied to a string. On a windy day you would run pulling your kite behind you. It will eventually lift off the ground and fly in the air.
Toy cars and trucks- kids played with mini models of cars and trucks. This was fun for kids because it let them imagine what it would be like to drive a real car or truck.
