Elementary school in the 2000s was made special because of the many gadgets we had to stand out from the crowd, or, allow us to fit in. If you showed interest or had any of these toys, you were part of the "in" crowd.

1. Webkinz

OK, but really, how were Webkinz not a major part of the 2000s? I can recall numerous clubs centered around how many Webkinz you even had.

2. Tamagotchis

Like Webkinz, the more you had, the cooler you were.

3. Easy Bake Ovens

These recipes may have not been the quickest to bake, but they did taste really good once they were done.

4. Clothes from Justice/Limited Too

Limited Too, where the clothes were some of cutest and most stylish you could possibly have.

5. Kids Bop

Back when Kids Bop was the best music for elementary school kids (and as good as it would ever be).

6. AIM

AIM, where your screen name and away message defined who you were, and decided who talked to you.

7. Myspace

Before Facebook became popular, if you didn't have a Myspace, you didn't have anything.

8. Portable CD Player

This was a necessity during long car rides when the only music that described your elementary school heartbreaks appropriately was a Hillary Duff CD.

9. Roller Blading/Riding Bikes on half days of school

Only the coolest parents would let you ride your bike to and from school on half days.

10. Beads for your hair

The best way to play up your style? Put these colorful beads in your hair and just watch everyone around you beam with jealousy.
