14 toys from your childhood that will take you back in time

Some say that today’s kids don’t know how to have fun like they used to. In fact, technology has taken care of the little ones and electronics are among the most requested products in the world. Children’s Daybut there was a time when online still wasn’t so strong, the games were between friends in the neighborhood and you couldn’t imagine toys with so many sounds and movements.

In this atmosphere of nostalgia, strongly influenced by Children’s Day, we gathered several toys that made the joy of those who were enjoying their childhood in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s … and if you miss them, you can even buy them! 🇧🇷

1. Pula Macaco

The pressure to hit the little monkey with the catapult was great! A lot of people realized they didn’t have motor coordination at that time. The game became one of Estrela’s classics in the 1980s, and is still sold today in versions with increasingly modern designs.

2. Cash Register

The coolest thing was using the barcode reader, some even had a small beam of red light (and we passed everything, even when the product didn’t have that barcode).

3. amoeba

It used to be “Geleca”, “Amoeba”, and today they call it “Slime”: the name may vary, but this kind of sticky clay transcends generations who have been passionate about playing with the material responsible for the destruction of many sofas, clothes and rugs.

4. cute

How did this doll become so successful? Probably because it was bizarre, which is strange, considering that it was a children’s toy: in addition to the face that scared several generations, the toy was supported by a support that looked more like a dagger. How many urban legends did Fofão yield, huh?!

5. Strawberry Shortcake

At that moment, a characteristic smell must have taken over your memory <3 This little doll was coveted by several generations, and today it is available for sale in its oldest version, the one from 1984.

6. Tamagotchi

This toy can be considered the grandfather of games with virtual pets today. I had to take care of it properly, otherwise the pet would die, and it would even make you want to cry.

7. Barbie’s Plane

Barbie has always been known for her most varied professions and properties, the house cost a fortune, and of course everyone wanted it. But, for those who loved the doll in the 2000s, the plane was one of the most awaited Christmas gifts – what mansion when you have a private jet, right?

8. Magic Slate

The grandfather of the touch screen, another toy that inspired the technology present in smartphones dominated by the little ones.

9. Bat Beg

Plec plec plec plec plec… the noise of this toy bothered many people, but it was addictive!

10. Hot Wheels car wash

The brand made its name with the most varied scenarios and tracks, but the most famous toy was undoubtedly the miniature car wash: children were VERY excited every time the advertisement was on television.

11. Disc is Tchan

Hold tchan, tie tchan, hold tchan tchan tchan!

Ok, the songs of the group “É o Tchan!” were inappropriate for children, but there was nothing else sung in the 1990s – and the toys sold a lot.

12. Fishing game

A lot of people didn’t want to wait until the Festa Junina to have fun with pretend fishing: the coolest thing was to get everyone together and see who could catch the fish that closed their mouths the fastest.

13. Twister

The affection for the game has transcended generations: famous since its creation in the 1960s, Twister still brings together children and adults committed to testing their balance in the weirdest possible positions.

14. All of Eliana’s toys

Most people who were children in the 1990s contributed to Eliana’s fortune. The variety of toys with the presenter & singer’s name was great, but the favorites are still the food making kits.
