Do you wish your kids would sometimes get off their phones, iPods, or electronics? Maybe sit down and play a game face-to-face with their siblings? Can you remember what the games you used to play with as a child were? Growing up, was there one in particular that you just had to have for Christmas?
Nowadays, it seems as if all kids want are video games or some electronic gizmo. At least, that is how it is with my three boys. Because of my job, I get a lot of toys, board games, and such for review. My three “testers,” especially my youngest, are always excited when we play together as a family. I have learned that even though they love their electronics, they also like the games that bring us together.
This is where Tin Toy Arcade can help, and they are an online toy store specializing in classic, vintage and retro toys that you may remember from when you were a kid!
I found three toys that I used to play with when I was a child:
Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone – a perfect reproduction of the 1961 ringing rotary dial phone with happy eyes and a pull string.
Tiddledy Winks – you play by shooting the “winks” toward the target by pressing the “squidger” on the winks. We played by seeing who could pop the most circles onto the board!
Aqua Arcade Game – just add water and push the buttons to throw the hoops up in the water. My sister and I would compete against each other on who could get the most rings in a certain amount of time.
If you are looking for a unique gift to get a child, look around at Tin Toy Arcade… they are sure to have that perfect gift from yesteryear. Plus, your gift is sure to be one that kids nowadays will get a kick out of!

How wonderful that these toys are available again. I had that Bozo the Clown punching bag when I was a child. I also remember having Tiddly Winks and Fish Arcade!
