    8 Old-school Toys that Need to Make a Comeback

    Spending the weekend with my sister and her family, I was gifted a stunning set of earrings by my oldest niece: SHRINKY DINKS! Be still my inner-child. It's like my new jewels opened a flood gate of memories of awesome toys from my childhood that I'd forgotten existed. Enter an afternoon full of reminiscing about the precious playthings that caused some of the most epic sibling battles of my youth, and the retro-fabulous TV commercials that went with them. Here are some of my favorite old school toys that might just manage to still thrill your kiddos in this digitally addled age. - By Morgan Shanahan
