​10 Things All '90s Kids Miss About Their Childhood

Kids these days seem to have it all: phones, tablets, computers and even hover boards. You name it, the kids of today have it, as technology continues to grow and develop. But if you’re a '90s kid like me, you say forget being a kid in today’s world—you’d give anything to travel back in time just to grow up again in the '90s. Those were the days of gold, and I wish my kids could be lucky enough to be '90s kids. Here is a list of 10 things all '90s kids miss from their childhood.

1. The "Lite Brite" toy

This toy was always a fun one to bring out for holidays and birthdays, and it allowed you to create anything you wanted. It made you feel like you could be artistic, even though all you had to do was stick the little lights in the designated spots on the paper. Still, when you finished and you had a snowman or Mr. Potato head, you couldn’t help but feel a little accomplished.

2. Flintstone's Chewable Vitamins

In the '90s, if you didn’t take your Flintstone's chewable vitamin every morning, you were setting yourself up for a bad day. These were crunchy and yummy: an essential supplement for all the cool kids of the age.

3. Razor Scooters

Anybody who was anybody back in the day could be seen zipping around the neighborhood on a Razor scooter. Mastering the bunny hop on these bad boys was almost a rite of passage. You always had to be careful though: one wrong turn and the bottom of the scooter would swing around and destroy your ankles- '90s kids know this pain all too well.

4. The Disney Channel

The Disney Channel might just be the most loved thing ever to come out of the '90s. With shows like “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and “Hannah Montana,” and movies like “Motocrossed,” “The Cheetah Girls,” and “Now You See It,” it’d be impossible to keep the Disney Channel off this list.

5. "Spyro the Dragon" and "Crash Bandicoot"

Like yesterday’s “Call of Duty,” "Spyro the Dragon" and "Crash Bandicoot" were the kinds of video games you would stay up late and wake up early to play. Most '90s kids probably don’t want to ever know how much time they actually spent playing these games—it would be embarrassing.

6. The Easy Bake Oven

The Easy Bake Oven was an essential for all young girls to have to bake delicious, yummy treats. Mine never turned out cute and perfect like the goodies in the commercial, but you can bet I had an awesome time cooking with my very own oven. Enough of the guys of the '90s couldn’t resist the smell of a bakery that came with the ovens.

7. Dinosaur Eggs Oatmeal and the Twist-off Juice Drinks

It’s sad to think the future and current generations grew up without dinosaur eggs oatmeal and those twist-off juice drinks we would buy in 6-packs as a kid. When mom brought the groceries home, these two items were the only things you made sure she bought.

8. The Nintendo Game Boy and Nintendo DS

The iPods, Apps and Xboxes of our time, most '90s kids wouldn’t leave home without grabbing their Nintendo Game Boy to bring with them first. Whether you played "Nintendogs" on your Nintendo DS, or "Super Smash Bros" on your Gameboy, there was always something for everyone to play.

9. Pokémon Cards

Whether you were a girl or boy, a young or older kid, you had a giant stack of Pokémon cards somewhere in your room. In the long run, your parents probably spent a fortune buying all these things for you in your pursuit of the super rare first edition Charizard card. But at the time, no amount of money in the world could get you to part with Pikachu.

10. Moon Shoes

Moon Shoes. Do I even need to say more?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
