The early 2000's was a great time to grow up. Now a days, kids have too much technology like cell phones, iPads etc. In the early 2000's, we had the beauty of having a real childhood without all the fancy technology. Here are just a few of my favorite, nostalgic, toys kids who grew up in the early 2000's might have forgotten about.
1. Easy Bake Oven.
The contraption that kids can use to bake! Sadly, my mom thought this was a dumb idea and I was not allowed to have one, but I'm pretty sure every single one of my friends did. The baked goods out of Easy Bake Oven weren't that great, but all that mattered was the idea!
2. Floam.
We all remember that cheesy commercial, "What's squishy, stretchy, and transforms almost anything? FLOAM!" This was supposed to be a non-messy, alternative to clay. It is made out of micro-beads that stick together and to almost anything!
3. Tamagotchi.
Let's admit it, every early 2000 kid had one of these. I always remember resetting mine because I wouldn't take care of it and then it would die. The best part of these was connecting them with your friends and having your Tamagotchi's hang out together.
4. Bratz.
Bratz dolls were the sh*t. They even had their own movies and a website that you could play Bratz's games on.
5. Pretty Pretty Princess.
The best board game ever! Pretty Pretty Princess was a board game that is also dress-up. It came with a crown and a ton of jewelry pieces!
6. Pixel Chix.
These were those mini houses that had an LSD screen. There was a girl on the LSD screen that you can play with and make her eat, watch TV, pick out clothes for her etc. As like Tamagotchi's, you can also connect these with another Pixel Chix house.
7. Polly Pockets.
Polly Pocket, the blonde, little doll that you can dress up and accessorize her and her friends!
8. Disney Princess EVERYTHING!
Last, but not least, my favorite, Disney Princesses. Yes this isn't really a "toy", but it needs to be included on the list. Disney Princesses was the biggest part of my childhood. A lot of toys when I was little had something to do with Disney Princesses. Dressing up as one of the Disney Princesses was my all time favorite activity as a child!
As you can see, the early 2000's was a great time to grow up. We had some technology, but not the outrageous technology kids have today. Children today are playing with the same "toys" that their parents play with, iPhones, MacBooks, iPads. I'm so happy and grateful to have grown up in this time.
