My 5 toys that remind my childhood (80's child) are:
1. Strawberry Shortcake. I still have her and the kitty. AND guess what? they still smell like strawberries. lol. I have had these 2 for about 26 years.
2. My little Pony. I use to own a million of these. I loved brushing their hair and playing with them. I probably have one or two saved.
3. Barbie. Ah my best friends Barbie and Ken...and Skipper too. I had ALL of them! I loved my Barbies till I was probably 12 years old. I think I gave most of them away to a cousin or something because I haven't seen these in a while. Who knows...maybe my grandma has them saved for me too. :)
4. Cabbage Patch. My babies. lol. I think I had this same EXACT one (in the picture below). One of my favorite too. This one I know for sure I do not have saved. Sad to because I LOVED my doll sooo much.
5. Nintendo. I can't leave that out. I played my Nintendo so much! Mario, Tetris, Zelda, etc. We use to have competitions with all the neighborhood kids. It was so much fun! I also think that my grandma has this thing saved somewhere in her archives for me. lol.
Besides these toys...I too LOVED playing outside. I think a lot more than any of my sisters or brother have in their lifetime. Back then we were allowed to play in our front yards, play hide and go seek with all the kids from the block, etc. I can honestly say I enjoyed my childhood days to the fullest!!! :)
That was so much fun...it brought back so many memories. Don't forget if you have never joined in on Friend Making Mondays, you are more than welcomed. It's ALOT of fun & you make some pretty amazing friends!!! :)

I loved my barbies and still have most of them tucked away! Skipper was one of my favs :)
Awsome list! Don't you wish Strawberry Shortcake still looked like she did back in the day? I hate all the new "made over" classic toys!
We ahd some good toys back then!
That barbie that you have the photo of is Rock Star Barbie...I had one! It was the only barbie i had , I didnt like barbie cause she had blonde hair and I had brown.
