10 Childhood Toys To Transport You Back In Time

10 CHILDHOOD TOYS TO TRANSPORT YOU BACK IN TIME

 

We are commemorating Children’s Day by celebrating our vibrant childhood, aka the good ol’ days! Long before the existence of IPhones, IPads and Cocomelon, there was a time when we would play in the sand pit playgrounds, challenge our friends to a game of zero point and monkey around at the Monkey Bars.

 

Full disclosure here, we are proud 90s kids, and we love and miss our childhood. So here we are, bringing on some nostalgia and warm memories with some of our favourite childhood toys back in the days.

TAMAGOTCHI

For most of us, this was the first pet we were ever responsible for, just that well, it’s virtual. Tamagotchi sure got us hooked back in the days!

COUNTRY FLAG ERASERS

These are more of a toy, than an eraser! Flip your eraser over your opponent’s, and the eraser is yours. It was such a perfect game to play during recess.

GAME BOY

This handheld game console was the closest we could get to an IPhone! But unlike the apps in an IPhone, we’ve got to change the cartridge to play a different game.
