Happy Birthday Fisher Price! I don't know about you, but I grew up with Fisher Price and have many fond memories of their toys. Without giving away my exact age, I will say late 60s, early 70s. I was in love with the Fisher Price Play Family House and spent countless hours pretending I lived in it!
Also among my favorites was the Play Family Farm and the Play Family Action Garage.
There is a terrific timeline of all the Fisher Price toys on www.fisherprice.com - just click on the 50th Birthday logo to check it out.
We have some great Fisher Price items on sale in my shop including Little People, Trucks, Whoops Figures, and more. You may be wondering what a Whoops Figure is...well, a Whoops figure is a production error- a figure not belonging to any set as a result of an error made at the factory- usually in color or mis-matched parts and usually with just people. However, we have a very interesting little people bear figure in our shop that is quite odd. Please visit our shop and take a look. If you are a toy collector and have any information to share on this little guy, please comment on this blog or send me an email. I love learning new things!
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading. And remember, live creatively everyday.

I remember playing with them too! Do you believe I have a "little people" toy box that I put out for my yard sale last week. Not one person commented on it, I thought it was very unique. Wish I had know it was their 50th anniv. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I happened to discover Fisher Price birthday by accident. I did a search on swagbucks for fisher price and a couple articles came up about the anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI checked out your Mommy's Online Garage Sale - very cool! When my boys were little, I joined a local Mom's Club. It was a great thing for a stay-at-home Mom. Now, with all these wonderful online resources for moms, I can see a tremendous improvement in finding support/resources/information/good stuff!
