Classic Toys
Even with the radical influx of electronic "wonder" toys, parents are seeking out toys that they remember growing up with. Simpler toys from days past oftentimes offer more intellectual stimulation than the complex noisemakers of today. At Fat Brain Toys, we carry an extensive selection of some of the most popular classic toys available.
Any discussion of classic toys is sure to include the venerable Slinky. The Slinky was designed in 1945 by a metalworker and it has been charming children and adults ever since. Slinkys are simply fun, whether they are being "juggled" from hand to hand or coaxed into "walking" down a flight of stairs. Slinkys are solid proof that sometimes simpler is better. Adding to its timeless appeal, we offer a classic replica of the original Slinky in its traditional packaging.
Another true classic is the game of Tiddly Winks. Tiddly Winks was invented in the 1890s and it continues to be a fascinating game for both children and adults. It is played by using a large disk (called a "Squidger") to flip a smaller disk onto a score board. There are absolutely no batteries required and it's a fun game that the whole family can play together.
Perhaps one of the oldest classic games is the simple-to-learn, fun-to-play game of marbles. Archeologists have actually found marbles in Egyptian tombs, and many parents remember playing marbles when they were children. At Fat Brain Toys, we carry an excellent beginning marble set that comes with a handy leather holding pouch and a manual that describes basic play along with a number of variations.
