The Visible Dog. He was made of transparent plastic, and you had to put all of his internal parts inside the plastic--brain, organs, blood vessels, etc. His breed was the Boxer at a time when one of my favorite songs was Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer, which in my canine-obsessed mind was about a dog and not a pugilist.
I never gave a hoot about plastic airplanes or cars, but the Visible Dog? I just loved him, maybe because I wasn't allowed to have a dog of my own.
My mom always said a pack of construction paper, a pair of scissors and some crayons were all the babysitter she ever needed.
My Barbies and the various Barbie accessories. I could spend hours dressing and undressing Barbie and styling her hair. I also had one of those head things with the hair you could style. Thinking back now, it was probably kind of creepy sitting with a head on my lap braiding the hair.
I loved my Barbies too. I never had a Ken, and I watched too much Mary Tyler Moore, so they were all business women who lived in an apartment made out of the underside of my desk. My uncle built me a wooden Barbie bed, and I furnished the rest of the "apartment" out of whatever I could find and let them go back and forth to work.
But frankly, I was happiest with a book. Go figure.
HUGE reader here, too.
I loved horses as a kid-couldn't have one, so I must have owned 1,000 books about horses.
Favorite toy was the Star Wars set I had as a kid. I completely destroyed it, but it was neat to play with. Had great fun crushing the rebel fighters in the trash compactor.
