Favorite muggle classic toy?

Definitely water balloons.

I liked slinkies.

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Also a good choice! I can never get them to do the neato cool things they show in videos and such, though, at least not without magic and then I feel like a failure DD:

All I could do was send them down the stairs. It usually went fine then just rolled down them. Still, it was entertaining.

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they could do those fancy curved stairways?

Hmm...I loved baby dolls, but I think my favorite thing was my crayons!

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

A creative child! I never liked crayons, I admit, for they were too chunky and not precise enough for my calculations~~ Hard to figure out the exact angle and force of velocity to throw a gnome into your brother's third story window from the garden with CRAYONS

[loveswhiteshoes.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Yes, I can see how that would be difficult. *smiles* I'm afraid I didn't have any gnomes to throw through my brother's window. I found that putting peanut butter sandwiches under his pillow was fun, though!

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Gnomes are always there; you just have to fiiind them.

And, yes. Well done with the sandwiches.

Once George and I turned Ron's teddy bear into a spider. That was pretty good.

My favorite childhood toy was a little duck of wood that had a string attached to the front and when you pull it, it had these two feet that would waddle upon the ground.

What is a water balloon?

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Oh Merlin, one of my older brothers has a duck toy like that. It was fantastic. Quacked and everything.

DDDD: do you really not know what a water balloon is. WHAT SORT OF CHILDHOOD DID YOU LEAD
It's basically a balloon, but smaller generally, and you fill it with water and throw it at people. :D

[jonas-layson.livejournal.com]

Mine did not quack. Because it was not real. It was a toy.

Why must you yell at me for not knowing something?

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Bill's was a toy too. But it was just, uh, charmed and all that.

I didn't YELL. It was capslock for emphasis. I am sad for you.

[suffers-vertigo.livejournal.com]

Rubber duck.

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

That's so boring!!! Is it at least one of the fancier rubber ducks, like with things on?

[suffers-vertigo.livejournal.com]

One that lights up and the light changes color in water.

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Okay, that is very not boring. Well done, miss.

[will-aurelius.livejournal.com]

Catapult, all the way!

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Does that count, really? If it does, I might have to rethink mine. Built a trebuchet once with my brother and it was all kinds of fantastic.

[will-aurelius.livejournal.com]

Of course they count! I mean- the sort you carry round in your pocket, mind. Not a great medieval launching sort.

I build a trebuchet a couple a' weeks ago! Just a miniature one though. I used the spring from a rat trap for the launching mechanism. I was going to use the thicker wire from the piano- like one of the low 'G's', praps, but then Angelus said I'm not under any circumstances to touch the piano.

Which is good cos it eliminates any danger of having piano lessons.

What did you fling with your trebuchet?

Slumber Baby (http://www.thisoldtoy.com/new-images/images-ok/1000s/fp1364-fpt10228-pink.JPG)!

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

:O

That looks a little scary. All round shapes and PINK.

[amagicalaura.livejournal.com]

It was my my very first toy. I used to take it everywhere. I called it "Pink Baby".

[cantbewithhim.livejournal.com]

I'd hafta say... yo-yo.

[imthedeadone.livejournal.com]

Ennis! Hey there. Not sure I would've been able to call that choice, but it does suit you.

[cantbewithhim.livejournal.com]

Well now, they always come back, don' they?
