As If 90s Kids Could Ever Forget These 9 Toys

These toys were the bomb.

As If 90s Kids Could Ever Forget These 9 Toys

As I get older, especially with all the violence I find myself surrounded with nowadays, I start to miss my childhood more and more—the innocence, being carefree and careless. While kids still possess these qualities, their means of entertainment have taken a drastic turn only a measly 20 years later. They rely more on technology than I ever had in my childhood to pass time, and they own toys and games that just seem mediocre.

Of course, however, I’m going to come off as biased, being raised in the 90s, but what 90s kid can say that we didn’t have the coolest toys? Below is a list containing nine toys every 90s kids should remember, and if not, can you really call yourself a true 90s kid?

1. Crazy Bones

Crazy Bones was the ultimate battle. Forget video games, Crazy Bones filled (if not more than) that thrill of competing. I recently found a box of these in my boyfriend's house, so we battled it out, and I had an absolute blast, even if I lost all three rounds.

2. Pogs

Has anyone ever collected them all? Any character you could possibly think of was surely on the face of a pog. Pogs were another great, engaging way to out-compete your friends to see who could flick theirs the farthest.

3. Wikki Sticks

Get creative! You could form Wikki Sticks into any design you would have liked; you could make pictures without wasting paper. Better yet, if you didn't like what you created, no worries because you could have just straightened them out and started over. They never went bad and the wax feeling never lingered on your fingers.

4. Blo Pens

Another great way to get creative in a creative way! Let's face it, markers got boring. Why not go lightheaded in the name of art? Sure, Blo Pens are still around, but they took the fun out of it, replacing the needed pressure of blowing into the pen with a machine that does it for you. Now, where's the fun in that?

5. Tamagotchi

Tamagotchis were the first form of responsibility 90s kids got all on their own. We had to take care of a digital pet for crying out loud!

6. Junie B. Jones

What 90s girl didn't grow up with Junie B. Jones? The first book being published in 2001 gave kids the perfect character to laugh, smile, and cry with.

7. Furbies

How are these things still around? All I have to say is that they were creepy 20 years ago and they're creepy now. And I still don't know how they got to be so popular.

8. Hot Wheels Track Builder

This was the coolest toy that I owned and probably the most used. Yet another toy that can be used in battle. Whose hot wheel can get through the track without crashing?

9. Neopets

Another virtual reality where children took on the responsibility of caring for a pet. Back in the 90s, it was the most stress I've ever experienced, trying to keep all my pets alive and happy.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

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."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

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…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
