Potato Guns

It’s a toss-up as to which of it’s features is the coolest: the ability to turn any day into a rip-roaring game, or turning a potato into over 300 bullets. That’s right, just stick the tip of the 6 1/2″ hard plastic spud gun into a big old tater’ and break off a bullet. Blam, ready to pump your friends full of root vegetable! Comes with two guns per pack so you a friend can shoot each other silly.

for $2.95

For those of you wondering how to build a potato gun, please remember to be careful! Making a potato gun can be dangerous and more than a few people have seriously hurt themselves trying. Mom was right: it’s all fun until someone pokes an eye out. If you’re looking for a safer alternative to the bigger "potato cannons", try the mini potato gun!

Retro Water Rockets

With water rockets, you pretty much have 2 options. There’s either the ready-made reproduction retro toy called the "Water Powered Space Rocket", or you can make one yourself.

In 1953, the Water Powered Space Rocket was Toy of the Year according to House Beautiful magazine. Believe it or not, kids still go wild over it, and for good reason. Just fill the rocket with water, pump it a few times, and the pressure will propel it into space (okay, about 35 ft). The 6" tall hard plastic rocket is still sure to please, and even comes with instructions. This retro toy makes a great nostalgic gift or a fun science toy.

for $6.95

Going the DIY homemade route, you can create your own water bottle rocket or water rocket launcher. Make sure you take all safety measures into account and then learn how to build a water rocket. Now you can honestly tell your friends that your hobbies include "rocket science".

My Little Pony Bedding

My Little Pony bedding and child room decor prints have changed since their original popularity in the 80’s. Much like Lisa Frank illustrations, the ponies have become more 3D and slightly anime in their proportions and realism. With brighter colors and an abundance of pink, My Little Pony bedding is a dream come true for any little princesses.

As with any child’s bedroom decoration theme, you can either furnish the entire room or just little pieces with MLP. The former is generally not a great idea since children grow so quickly and can change their preferences seemingly overnight! For starters, try a My Little Pony comforter, curtains, and matching wall stickers. If your child is still excited about ponies after 6 months you’ll be less likely to waste money on extras like wallpaper, wall plaques, shelves, extra pillows, lampshades, light switch covers, wall clocks, inflatable sleeping bags, ceiling fan covers… you get the idea!

My Little Pony Toys

My Little Pony figures were originally produced in the US between 1982-1992, with a second short-lived revival from 1997-1999. You can still find these vintage ponies on eBay or trading websites such as MLPTP, along with the newer My Little Ponies from 2003 onward. These are called Generations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Hasbro’s MLP franchise spawned countless characters and toys, but just a few items remain very popular today. Since My Little Pony party supplies are high on the list, the vintage My Little Pony cake pan is the holy grail of the MLP birthday party. It was made in 1986 and is increasingly hard to find. If you’re lucky enough to see one, hurry up and buy it!

Entertainment Earth also has good prices and a wide selection including accessory sets, puzzles, DVDs, and several kinds of My Little Pony games. Their inventory seems endless, but they have an easy to navigate website (try "Shop By Theme"from the drop down menu). All Aboard Toys is usually the cheapest price online (you’ll notice everything is discounted) and they carry toys as well as party supplies and other MPL items.

We love toys like this for young kids because they have a whimsical quality that encourages imaginative play, and lacks the "hurry up and grow up" mentality of Bratz-like dolls. For grown up kids (children of the 80’s), this is a truly fun and nostalgic retro toy. They even inspire people to make custom ponies like My Little Master Chief Pony!
