@lizdeluz I'm sure I had the projector thingy.
Indoor fireworks, anyone? The curly snake that grew from a pellet on the dining table.
I had a toy oven which baked real cakes too! You could buy the cake mix too. Strawberry and chocolate flavours. Lovely chemical tasteYes, it does sound very very clunky now, but I remember thinking it was pretty clunky at the time, though I also did like it. I liked the fact that you could project the slides very big and very crazily on the front room walls.
Yes, I remember indoor fireworks. They were a fantastic menace, and I think my Dad was in charge, plus Mum and Dad were also in charge when I was playing with toy oven.I was a quiet child so I guess it didn't occur to them to buy presents that would keep me quiet.

You have made me think of a dolls house that was made for me ....kept in outhouse ...next to the outside wc .....I used to go and peep ....even though it was hidden ....I had a toy oven which baked real cakes too! You could buy the cake mix too. Strawberry and chocolate flavours. Lovely chemical tastebut as a kid it tasted great!
Gosh yes space hoppers ....I remember in the early 70's I got this tool kit that was a true mini version of the real thing, it wouldn't pass health and safety now...it was lethal lol. Well after sawing some door knobs off with my hacksaw I have vague memories of getting a sore botty on Xmas day lol. Space hoppers and all that...such golden memories
I always used to get a satsuma and a packet of polos in my stocking. I remember 1 year i had to sleep on a camp bed in my parents room. I smuggled a torch into my sleeping bag and tried to open my stocking at about 3am before getting moaned at for making too much noise. I thought i was being so quiet!
I had roller skates like these too!needed these
It was always me. I was the youngest of 3.Snap!! Except I ended up with a tooth abcess and was also a crying, moaning minnie in my sleeping bag on the camp bed.
What I always wondered was... Why out of 3 children was it always me that ended up in the camp bed in parents room!!!
Me tooI had roller skates like these too!
There was a time when Pelham puppets were the 'in' thing We used to put on little plays with them at school.
I really really wanted a witch with an opening mouth for Christmas . Sadly, the factory burned down that year . My parents couldn't get one but they managed to find a devil . He wasn't the same thing at all to me though. (Google tells me the fire was in 1961 so I was 9)
I've still got my puppets in a box in the attic alongside the ones I bought for my children when they were young.
