I have a vivid memory of walking around on can stilts as a child. I must have been about 5 or 6. And if my memory serves me right, I was...
I'm excited about Baby Agbai coming, but what I really anticipate is getting to play with toys all over again! I was totally obsessed with my toys as a child, and I took such good care of them. My friends used to say coming over to play at my house was like going to Toys 'R Us! My dad painted a mural on the wall of my original nursery, and when I grew out of the room it became my playroom. Here's a pic: You'll notice the My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake toys. They along with Care Bares were my favorite icons of the 80s. I still have my Strawberry Shortcake thermos! I don't know what it was about the 80s, but I think there was something special about the toys back then compared to now. Now everything seems to be electronic, loud and/or light up like video games. When the rest of my friends were getting Nintendo a neighbor gave me an outdated Atari when I was 8 or 9 that I had little interest in. I was more content to make crafts, play with Legos or my absolute favorite . . . the Play-Doh extruder: Now this was one of those toys that I knew, even as a child, my mother loathed. I would would get the Play-Doh in the carpet and could never quite clean all the Play-Doh out of the extruder so it would get clogged causing me to get frustrated and my mom having to help me dig it out. Play-Doh crumbs would be everywhere. I remember being threatened many times that each play session with the extruder would be the last and I would ever get to use it again, but miraculously there was always another play session! I also have to admit that I once fell under Play-Doh's spell with it's soft, squishy texture and intoxicating smell and ended up eating some. It was very salty and unpleasant. In college I went through a phase to re-claim my 80s toys and started finding some on Ebay. I ordered a Strawberry Shortcake lamp but it arrived broken (good thing I got insurance on it), Bambi's Fragrant Forest scratch and sniff book (although my siblings tore that book apart and scratched all the sniff out of it, my Ebay treasure is sealed away for Baby Agbai and currently sells for $34 as a collectible), and a Strawberry Shortcake board game. Here are a few of my other favorite toys you might recognize: Now I have to pause and pay homage to play food. I'm a big foodie now, and I think it's due to my play food and kiddie kitchen I had as a child. Ahhhhh - I can still smell the particle board and plastic fumes! I would spend hours pretending to cook eggs, grill hot dogs and brew tea. It was fabulous! I went searching for play food to get for Baby Agbai someday, and nowadays it's much more advanced and realistic. Check out this bounty: If I had received this plethora of groceries as a child I would have wet my pants! This is GORGEOUS! I want Baby Agbai to come out of my womb RIGHT NOW fully formed at 2 years of age so we can play with it together. Seriously, she just did a flip flop in my belly cause she can feel my excitement. I'm not lying! Now there is one modern "toy" that I'm intent on getting for Baby Agbai and that's a Skuut: I first saw this in Central Park last fall and have seeing them ever since. I did a little research and it turns out that kids learn better to balance on a Skuut and can forgo training wheels. How awesome is that?! I'm definitely getting one. Check out these kids riding their Skuuts in pure bliss:
Three decades after all four singers became one of the most successful pop acts of the Eighties, they are trapped in a bitter rift.
Looking for novel way to get your middle school students excited about math and statistics?! This file contains everything you need to conduct the experiment (except the Tootsie Pops!) that answers the age old question "How many licks does it take to get the center of a tootsie pop?" The lesson covers mean, median, mode, range, outliers, tables, graphs, box and whisker plots, data collection, pre and post discussion questions, experimental procedures, and student reflection. I also provided a short clip of the old commercial and worksheets students can use during the experiment. I've also added assorted extension activity ideas I've used in the past. On the day of the experiment, I wear a Tootsie Pop t-shirt which creates lots of excitement and anticipation for the kids. It's worth the investment! (Example results included) ADDITION: I've added a picture of the display I used for this project. Individually, the project does not make a great display, but I complied the data that we collected from each quarter and made a few graphs. Along with examples of quality work, this made a great display!

A trip to a toy store these days boggles my mind. It's hard for me to believe that young children today really need all the expensive, high-tech toys on the market, especially when I see how much fun my grandsons have making a bird feeder out of a plastic soda bottle or drawing with erasable Crayons on a laminate tabletop. When I was a kid growing up in the 50s, entertainment was much simpler. Instead of watching movies on a long road trip, I passed the time playing with one of these. Sliding number puzzle artskooldamage.blogspot.com A piece of sting could entertain me for hours...and there were still some tricky moves I never mastered. Cat's cradle tumblr.com - simplejustin When friends came over, there were no movies to rent and no computers to play on. We played Chinese checkers or Sorry.

It was my entry into the world of crafts...and, hey, a kitchen can never have too many potholders, right? Even ugly ones.

For those of you who have never played, that means picking up ten jacks in one swipe.

In fact, I remember all these activities very fondly, which is why I'm enjoying doing simple crafts, playing old games and reading books from my childhood with my grandsons. Playtime doesn't have to cost a fortune to be fun.
Dutch postcard. Sent by mail in the Netherlands in 1972. Picture: Pagotfilm, 1972. Calimero (1972, Yugo Serikawa) is an Italian/Japanese cartoon TV series about a charming, but hapless chicken. Calimero is the only black one in a family of yellow chickens. He wears half of his egg shell still on his head. Nino and Toni Pagot originally created Calimero for the Italian television show Carosello in1963, and soon the little chicken became a popular icon in Italy. The animations were created by the studio Organizzazione Pagot and originated as a series of animated advertisements for soap products shown throughout Italy. At the end of each episode, it turns out that Calimero is not actually black, but only very dirty, and becomes white after being washed by the advertised soap products. The characters were later licensed in Japan as an anime series, twice. The first was made by Toei Animation in 1972, and the second, with new settings and characters, was made in 1992. Altogether, 99 Japanese episodes were made (47 in the 1972 Toei series, and 52 in the 1992 series). The series mostly consists of the many adventures of Calimero and his friends such as the shy chick Priscilla and Peter Jobatta. In the Netherlands and Belgium, 'Calimero complex' is used to denote someone who thinks the world is against him or her because they are an underdog. In the Dutchversion of the Calimero series, he says "They are big and I is small and that is not fair, oh no!" (Dutch: "Zij zijn groot en ik is klein, en da's niet eerlijk, o nee!" The erroneous use of the word 'is' is intentional). Source: Wikipedia and IMDb.
