Dorothy, were the wobbly people called Weebles ???
Thank you Clairelou and Walking the Dog, that was the name!

Oh, and fuzzy felt.  I'd forgotten fuzzy felt.  Delighted to discover they still make it, though it's not the same as it used to be  ;)

Dyan, that's a lovely story about the doll.  This is such a lovely thread.

I had a John Bull printing set but got fed up lining up the letters into the frame, then turning it over onto the ink pad and then ……… was quicker to write what I wanted!

I couldn't bear the feel of the frame that Fuzzy Felts stuck to  >:(

I had post office set & sweetie shop set. I ate all the sweets.  ::)

We had a roulette wheel which we played with. My brother bought it with pocket money. We gambled with dried peas.  ;D

My trusty garden swing. A present for my 5th birthday. Legs had to buried into the ground to keep it from tipping. Had so much fun on that.

Too many palma violets and they begin to taste soapy  ;D  - I vaguely remember a sweetie shop but that might have been my cousin's ……

They do look a bit scary, but I loved them when I was 4!
