we didnt have much growin up, i always wanted a big wheels or evile knievel set. my neighbor had all that. got to play with his stuff and liked it, but the MOST fun i had with a "toy" was a home-made dragon-fly slayer. just a sawed off broomstick handle with a clothes line pin and rubberbands!! that made for hours of fun. oh yeah, we always had the skinny wooden skewers for shish ka bobs around, they made great arrows, they would only sink in about 1/8-1/4 inch or so.

Toys?!! We were too poor for toys. Mommawould just cut holes in our pockets so that we could have something to play with.
