Childhood Time Machine

Most kids nowadays play with 3C or PS products. When we were young, we played with clay and blew bubbles. A bit older, boys played with marbles, rubber band guns, and paper flicking. Girls played jump rope, beanbag toss, and hopscotch. When we got a little older, we played with bamboo chopstick guns (chopsticks tied with rubber bands to make a rubber band shooting gun) or bamboo air guns (air guns made of bamboo). You could also take apart a 'Secretary' brand ballpoint pen, remove the cap and the tube/ink, then stuff the ends of the tube with orange peel or wet tissue, and use the ink stick to push, creating an air tube gun. Girls would play with Barbie dolls, play house, and dress up their dolls, changing their outfits and styles as they grew older. Generally, these were our childhood pastimes.
