This?

It is called the “See n Say the Farmer Says”. They still sell it. The original from the ‘60’s/‘70’s had a pull string…

We’d put a ball in a sock and bang it on the wall to the tune of bah bah black sheep

I offered it to my daughter and she looked horrified Smile

but then again she does play some game called “smelly socks” so her kids will have something to laugh about too

Who remembers this electronic toy, it had a steering wheel and a little plastic car inside a screen. The scenery rolled while you tried to keep the car in the lane.

I just went to a bas mitzvah and the girl's friends did memory candles with poems I was so surprised they still make those!

whoever had strep as a kid remembers these. Now we use syringes, but I think the medicine is still banana flavored usually

We used to ride these horses around the whole house all day. Had a little ball at the end that made a jingling noise.

Another classic toy

Used to have these in the school lunchrooms. They were not disposable towels (did they ever wash them? Confused

) and always got jammed.

also the double sided laminated benchers in the lunchroom.

I had one like this. The car was just a sticker stuck on the screen. It never moved. When you turned the wheel, the whole lane would move instead. Just like real driving LOL
