Mr ddc
Pappas were those mini dolls weren't they? Ancestors of brats with normal size heads

Weren't they barbie's younger sister? Fiddle clothes? My mum was the housekeeper for a guy who owned a chain of toy shops. He stored his toys in a large basement in the house and it was amazing to go in there ... that was an amazing memory of my childhood. We couldn't afford many toys though, but I would get some free. It sounds like its going to be a Jimmy Seville type story but its not |

My Barbies! I had loads, plus a camper van, a little car and some bits of Barbie furniture that my mum got me from a charity shop - full bathroom, bedroom & kitchen sets.
Plus I had lots of Polly Pocket sets - the originals of course  |

I was unbeatable at Connect 4 and Guess Who.
Loved my Weeble heliport and toy grocery shop (with a till that made real receipts and went 'ping')
Equally content making mud pies, mud castles and generally sitting in mud. |

"Me: Lego
Mrs ddc: Cindy and something called 'Pippas'?
Mr ddc
Never heard of pippas ?
Me neither.
Another sort of doll apparently"
Pippa dolls were about half the size of Cindy with hair to the waist and lots of outfits. They were probably aimed at slightly older girls and I suspect cheaper than their nearest equivalent.
Having read this thread, I also loved fuzzy felt
Connect 4
Cats cradle
Board games like monopoly, cluedo, operation (rubbish at it though), frustration, sorry

They might have been barbie's younger sister but I didn't realise it at the time.
How lucky were you with access to toy paradise!

"Air Rifle & Bowie knife (yes these were considered toys in my day)
and the freedom to roam forestry and hillsides as well as work on the farm"
I was sent to wonder the fields with a little .410 shotgun...that was probably my favourite passtime when i was down the farm |
