Growing up in the early 2000's was the best time to grow up. Our childhoods were filled with the coolest toys, funkiest jewelry and the perfect balance of technology. We had access to computers to play on our favorite websites, but we also knew how to appreciate playing outside without having technology withdrawal. People who didn't have the chance to grow up in the early 2000's seriously missed out. Here are 19 things that defined your childhood. Let the reminiscing begin!
1. Webkinz
It was a disgrace if you didn't have a collection of at least 10 Webkinz.
2. Tamagotchi
Your first and probably favorite pet.
3. Kooky Pens
4. Wacky Packages
If you had these, then you most likely also had a binder that you collected them in.
5. Nintendo DS
6. Club Penguin
Only the greatest club ever!
7. Mad Libs
The No.1 long car ride activity.

The number one cause of bruised ankles.
