20 Items That Made You "Cool" In Elementary School In The 90s

If you were a kid born in the 90s, then you know what it was like to have a childhood filled with of all the best kinds of toys! We were imaginative, playful kids always making up something to do. More often than not, these activities were always filled with our toys and imagination, the items that could never compare to a game that today's kids download from the app store. Here’s a list of some of the best items that all of the elementary school kids had in the 2000's that made you the cool kid on the block!

1. Tamagotchis

You also probably tried to play it in your desk during class so you could attempt to keep them alive...

2. Nintendo Game Boy

You were even cooler if you had the Game Boy Color.

3. CD Walkman

You had to listen to it during recess in order to show off your coolness!

4. Polly Pockets

Move over Barbie...

5. American Girl Dolls

Bitty Babies, Look-Alikes, Girl of the Year or the Forever girls...you wanted one of each.

6. Easy Bake Oven

How many bad cakes did you make your parents eat?

7. Smencils

They smelt so good back then....

8. Anything and everything Foohy

Smelly erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners... they had it all, and the more you have the cooler you were!

9. Mighty Beanz

What were even the point of these?

10. Lunchables

If you weren't buying "Hot Lunch," then these made you the cool kid at the table...

11. Cats Cradle

Who knew a string could be so entertaining?

12. Your parent's old cell phone

You couldn't do anything with it, but yet it was still cool to have.

13. Webkinz

You would search every store for one of these, except most stores would always sell out within a day of shipment!

14. YoYo ball

We could never master the use of an actual yoyo...

15. Password Journal

Easy to open without the password, but you wrote your crushes name basically on every page!

16. Skip it

The cool ones counted your amount of "skips."

17. 64 pack crayons with the sharpener

Did you ever actually use the sharpener?

18. Pens with multiple colors

And we were all guilty of trying to push all the colors at once!

19. Pokemon Cards

You had to collect them all...

20. Razor Scooters

And our ankles will never forgive us...

Feeling the flashbacks? Were you a "cool kid?"

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
