Matt’s Favorite Toys From the 1950′s (PHOTOS)

Our fun bus to the National Toy Hall of Fame and National Museum of Play at the Strong in Rochester is nearly sold out and although I won’t be going it did give me pause to think of the toys I grew up with way back in the 1950′s, before video games and interactive products became all the rage. Here are a few of my favorites gleaned from Skooldays.com.

ANYTHING Davy Crockett!

Hours of fun for the engineer in every kid, the Erector Set!

I bet I can do more hula hoop rotations than you..Can too….Can too…

Parchessi! The whole family sat down to play
