I mentioned the I Spy books either earlier on this thread or on the clothing thread - indeed, Maggie, what fun they were.  My brothers and I were each given the seaside one before each holiday and we would have great fun trying to spot all the creatures and features.    There seemed to be a suitable book for nearly every occasion, whether it was nature or trains.

Another gem there Steve....the days when TV was limited to a couple of hours a day and just a couple of channels....not like today with wall to TV and channels especially for children.

Did anyone have comb orchestras where you put a piece of that old fashioned hard toilet paper over a comb and hummed a tune though it?  The noise must have driven our mothers insane.

Not as much as the misery I inflicted on my poor mother when I spent some months learning to play 'Greensleeves' on the recorder.  Over and over, and over again...... :-X

My grandfather, who had been a carpenter, made the most beautiful bagatelle board, which my and my siblings spent many happy hours playing with. I never found out what happened to it; it must have been thrown away at some point when we all grew up  :(  It looked pretty much like this one:

P.S. Page 22 already - and it looks like this thread could run and run (methinks Treetotal should start a new one  ;)).  Lovely memories...........
