1970s Christmas Toys
Christmas morning in the 1970s brought a mix of old-fashioned fun and some exciting new electronics. Simon flashed colored lights, Speak & Spell talked back, and electronic football games made their way into kids' hands. There were Big Wheels to ride, Nerf Balls to toss around the house, and Stretch Armstrong to pull in every direction. Even the Pet Rock managed to become a Christmas sensation. Remember any of these under your tree?
