The other day, my girlfriend Kamie wrote on Facebook that Jem and the Holograms was on TV. I can't believe they have that show on again. It is the old show, with the bad makeup and hair from the '80s. Her daughter thought it was hilarious and cheesy. Apparently you can reminisce by watching the old episodes on YouTube.
It got me thinking, and a little nostalgic, what else the big toys from the '70s and '80s when all of us girls were kids? Here are some I found. I hope you enjoy memory lane like I did.
Jelly Shoes
Caboodles
Care Bears
Pound Puppies
Cabbage Patch Kids
Slap Bracelets
Pogo Ball
Cat's Cradle
Scrunchies
Polly Pocket
Heart Eraser
My Pretty Mermaids
Easy Bake Oven

Ah, you are the same age as my daughter, or close enough. She had many of these same toys, and the jelly shoes. I saved a few of her toys, and I have my Chatty Cathy and Barbie and a few other dolls, all of which my granddaughter now plays with. So, keep some of those around, you will need them some day!
Aw, so fun! Thank you!! I love seeing that stuff!
Love it! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
SO FUNNY. I think I had all of these, or close. Some others I remember? Rainbow Brite, Fraggle Rock, Teddy Ruxpin. GOOD TIMES!
How cute to see all this again. My favorites were the care bears, the mermaids and the jelly shoes :) Found you through the Super Stalker Sunday hop and am now following you on GFC. I hope you can follow back also; I'd appreciate it so much ;-) Have a happy Sunday!
