10 of Our Favorite Toys From The ’50s

We LOVED our toys in the 1950s. Some of them may have been pretty simple, but we certainly loved them. Sometimes we wonder if kids these days would appreciate them as much as we did, but we’re always happy to find that some of them work just as well today as they did decades ago. We wanted to put together a list of our 10 favorite toys from the 1950s. Take a look at the list below, and let us know what you’re favorite toy was as a kid!
#1 Lock & Key Skates
We’ll admit that these were a bit more difficult than modern skates, but once you got the hang of them, you could really move! And how fun was it after you did? Enough that they made a song about it! Here’s how it went:
We loved it, then hated it, then re-discovered it, then forgot about it. It’s one of those things you can come back to again and again and still enjoy. Even now!

8 Pull-A-Tune: Whoever invented this thing was a genius. We of course COULD have picked it up and carried it around, but the fact that it rolled and had a rope meant that it HAD to come with us everywhere. I’m not sure I ever learned a song on it, but it sure was fun!
9 ViewMaster: The original Viewmaster came out in 1939 and evolved through the 50’s when the “stereoscopic sightseeing” evolved in to more of a toy like the one you see above. It’s was the first toy we had (other than the kaleidoscope!) that kind of took us away and really got our imagination going!10 Slinky Dog: Genius! Slinkys were already cool, but now that it was part of a dog that walked – this one always made my day. Many kids aren’t familiar with the slinky itself, so we were delighted when Toy Story used Slinky Dog as a character!
