In the 1970s and 1980s, there was no Internet, game consoles, or even electricity. At that time, children's childhood was happy. They could find their own fun. They used their wisdom to create various handmade toys that could bring them fun.
The first type: Bamboo cart
This toy is relatively simple to make. It mainly uses bamboo section by section, cut it in the middle with a knife, and prepare a wooden wheel. Then use an axle to pass through it, drill holes on both sides of the bamboo, and pass the axle through both sides to make it.
At that time, many children came together to compete to see who could push faster.
The second type: playing square box pieces
Friends in the 1980s must have played it, but I still remember that when I was a child, I scattered the notebooks to do this. My parents knew that they would inevitably get beaten. The square box pieces have two sides, the front and the back. Just put one side on the ground. Use another square box piece to knock it over on the ground and it will be yours. This is what I play the most.
The third type: Bamboo Dragonfly
Peel two bamboos, one should be flattened, and the other should be rounded. Punch a hole in the middle of the flat one, and insert the round one into the punched hole, so that the bamboo dragonfly is ready. .
The fourth type: paper pistol
This toy also costs more notebooks and books. It is also this toy that gave me the dream of becoming a policeman. It is made of folded paper, and some are made of circles.
The only toy pistol when I was a child
The fifth type: homemade slingshot
This one is a little lethal. When I was a child, I liked to shoot birds, but I could never hit them. This one needs to be made of harder wire and rubber bands. You can also use small pieces of wood and rubber bands.
The sixth type: rubber band jumping
Girls like to play, and it also requires the cooperation of several people to play.
The seventh type: Wooden Sword
This should be made on a whim when we dream of being a hero. This requires a wooden root or board of about one meter, made according to the shape of the sword that appears on TV.
The eighth type: Bamboo bow and arrow
This requires a piece of bamboo, and it needs to be burned with fire in the middle of the bamboo so that it is elastic, and then tied with ropes at both ends of the bamboo.
The ninth type: Feather shuttlecock
It is made by keeping the chicken feathers from slaughtered chickens at home and drying them in the sun.
Type 10: Catching stones
You need to prepare five stones. When I was young, my hands often got skinned when playing with this, but I was happy.
Type 11: Paper airplane
This should be the most common toy, just use a piece of paper. .
Conclusion
Although children in their 70s and 80s do not have high-tech toys, the Internet, or electronic products, they use their own hands and brains to make many toys worthy of our memories. How many of the above have you played with? Welcome to comment
