I never had any of those toys when I was a kid.
We were so poor that my dad used to cut a hole in my pants pockets so I'd have something to play with. |

The answer is Lego. The rest of you plebeians can say whatever you want the Lego is God's gift to children. It can be used from 4 years old all the way up until being an adult. You can build whatever you want your limited only by your imagination. It doesn't need batteries. It doesn't need to be plugged in.

Maybe not the greatest, but I must have gone through dozens of them as a kid. IIRC, they were $.25 each.

Those were great little planes
My grandma lived on the old family farm in the wheat fields. My dad would get a whole pack of those planes for me when I went to stay with her, and I had a big stump on the edge of the field with a huge framing nail in it for launching those things. Launch them all as far out as I could then ride my bike out into the field to collect them. |

OP, those were fun but we couldn't aford those fang dangled peperella driven planes. We only got the gliders with the sliding wings so they either flew straight or loop tee loops

Mine was a Crosman BB/pellet gun that was an AR look-alike. Had a 5 shot sliding clip for lead pellets and a regular shaky-shaky to feed BB's. Loved that thing. Used to watch 'Tour of Duty' then go out and play army in the woods.
I broke the butt off my first one. Was so scared that my dad would beat my ass over it, but he went and bought me another. Wish I had one today, just for nostalgia. The 2nd one (and the parts from the 1st) burned up in a house fire in 1987. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I must have broken dozens of these as a kid. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/139634/gui45_jpg-1326949.JPG I always got better performance from those by eliminating the lower wing and moving the upper wing into the lower position, thereby creating an "eindecker." More distance, better tricks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: These were great fun . . . https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/1c/ca/d11ccaa8194ffdb8ede6a89044b4e394.jpg I came very close to killing a kid back in 1967 or '68 with one of those. We were having Jart fights and I launched one at him from about 50 feet away. It him square on the bridge of the nose and knocked him out. 1/4" either left or right and it would have without a doubt killed him. |

More distance, better tricks. Yup, I remember there were all sorts of mods. I used play with that metal weight at the front and cutting the wings, etc. Good times

Quote HistoryQuoted: That’s badass. Mine won’t fly straight, but it will do maybe 10-12 seconds airborne flying in a circle. Warp the rudder a little bit with steam. Or just put some tape on the rudder as a trim tab. Or some tape on the wing as an aileron. (Expert rubber band plane modifier checking in. ) |

Creepy Crawlers/Thingmaker. Nothing quite like filling aluminum molds with Non-Toxic* Goop and burning it on a 500° electric hot plate. Oh, the smell was glorious!
