Retro Toys

I well remember sitting in the middle of the living room floor, surrounded by Tinkertoys and Lincoln Log sets. I could be entertained for hours with these types of now, retro toys. Why not make a point of having a family game night and gather around a table with some of these well known, very fun toys of old?

Note: when purchasing one of these retro toy sets with small pieces, consider the manual dexterity in your senior citizen loved one. The last thing you want to do is put some Lincoln Logs in front of him or her and have them get frustrated.

Who doesn’t remember that fun Etch A Sketch from eons ago? Newsflash: They’re still very fun! You might also want to think about picking up some paint by number sets or color by number sets for your elderly loved one.
