9 toys from the 1960s that would be deemed too dangerous for today's kids
-Growing up in the 1960s meant growing up with some of the best toys on the market. We had Hot Wheels, Barbies, G.I. Joes — not to mention all the adventures we had playing outside.
Although toys were great in the 60s, they were also kind of dangerous. Looking back, it's hard to imagine how we made it into adulthood without being scarred for life with these nine toys. But alas, we made it! And these toys arguably made us stronger and ready for the real world.
How many of these toys did you have?

Not one :) Just after WWII we had in fact very little of everything, and I will never forget the rubber doll we got from dad's aunt in Wisconsin. Not to speak of the wonderful Christmas cards we got from "over there"

I had the Super Elastic Bubble Plastic, Creepy Crawlers, Water Wiggle, Vac-U-Form. Burned myself on the Vac-U-Form a few times. And the thing never worked as good as the one on TV.

Swing wing must be the dumbest toy ever sold.

I don't think I had anything from your video, Krys, except the Superball...
Found this video... Some of these are quite frightening, especially the ones containing magnets.
My husband had a Wood Burning Kit as a kid. #2 on this video list.
#1 is a glass blowing kit from the 1950s. Yikes. 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Here's another one... 20 Most Shocking Children's Toys.
#20 is Poo Doh from Play Doh - poo colored Play Doh with molds. #1? You'll have to watch! Some really weird ones. Some ... well I guess it's depends on what you consider inappropriate. (Lego Concentration Camp??? WUT?????)
