Toys  

I use to play with lego's all the time as a child. I can't say i ever played with lincoln logs before though.

i do not know if it is lincoln logs but as a child my dad gave me logs to play with. you can create/design log houses with it. my kids were the ones who played with lego.

Yes and yes...I LOVED to build when I was little...all my friends had dolls, I had building blocks and matchbox cars...ha ha

I used to love playing with legos when I was a little girl, I had heeps and heeps...they are wonderful things for kids....

dont rememger

Now, I'm datying myself. I first grew up with linconl logs. And one year when I had gone to Germant with my parents, I found out about Legos. I had started with a police department, and subsequently added sets whenever we had returned to Germany. Later on in my life, I had found that Legos were now being sold in the U.S. I had a lot of fun with them. But dont tell anyone that I still have a box of Lego pieces in my basement.

I played with lincoln logs as a child but did not have legos until I started buying them for my kids in 1990. Now I collect legos and my kids buy me legos for christmas sometimes. What a change! LOL

BTW is your name Mindy? My daughter's name is Mindy and she is 27.

The building pieces I had as a child (born in 1952) were Lincoln Logs, some kind of erector set (Kenner, I think), and just some really neat building blocks. In fact, I had at least two kinds of building blocks. One kind was wood pieces in different shapes and the other kind was alphabet blocks.

Where I got to use Legos was when I went to visit Aunt Ruby and her son, Phil. Phil (born in 1945) had Legos, and it was really fun sticking them together into structures, towers, etc.

Then, of course, there was the impromptu building such as taking one or more sheets/blankets and draping them over furniture to make tent houses. I also used to build such play houses out of large cardboard boxes in which some appliance might have come.

Oh yes! How could I forget!?! I also had Tinker Toys! They were great for building miniature amusement park rides, vehicles, etc.

I used to play with Lego's and Lincoln Logs when I went to my rich friends' and family houses, mndygrl78.

I never had lincoln logs, but I did have tinkertoy and lego. Back when tinkertoy was still good wood stuff, not big chunky plastic things.

I had tons of lego! We'd play with it all day.

My mother recently thanked me for leaving pieces hiding in the shag rug in the playroom by sending it home with meformy daughter to play with.. oh the horror!
