Good news! They still make Kitty Surprise, as of last year! You should totally buy one!

I loved paper dolls!! Barbie dolls were my passion, too. To have them now, in good shape...I would have a fortune. I often look online at what the old ones are going for (and wanna cry) and can remember having alot of them.
I had a cabbage patch baby...loved coloring books and crayons...anybody remember the PogoBall? It looked liked Saturn, but was a bouncy ball with a platform to stand on.
Also, Shampoodle. Playdough spaghetti factory.

I grew up in the country so I didn't have a lot of toys that weren't alive. Toads, frogs, turtles, snakes, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, salamanders....etc...those were all my toys! But, going younger, I do remember Weebles, Play-doh barber shop where you could grow and cut their hair, Cabbage Patch Kids, mine was named Paige and I still have her actually!

My Cabbage Patch kid was named Abigail Allison, but at 2 and half years old, I decided that I'd rather have a CP Kid named "Pancake". And to this day, Pancake still lives at my parents' house.

I'm sure I have renamed stuff too! I just remembered that one of my favorite past times was making what I called Dandelion stew for all our rabbits. I'd put a bunch of weeds in a big pot with water and pretend to cook it, then dish it up to all the rabbits!

I used to "cook" grass and stuff in our birdbath. I wish I still had the imagination I had when I was a kid!!

OH MY GOSH!!! - I loved this! It was definitely without a doubt my all time favorite! I'm not a "tom-boy" at all, I played with barbies like the rest of the girls, but I always loved this. I use to make the most disgusting creatures I could imagine and give them to my friend (who was very much a "girly girl"....
