Nerf Balls
Nerf Balls :
Nerf Balls were soft, sponge-like balls that came out in the 80's. They were available in big and small shapes and also as footballs and smaller tennis-type balls. They were very safe to play with.
Later on Nerf Balls came out with long tubes that you could use to shoot Nerf Balls at each other and later still they came with a bow and arrow type Nerf weapon.
I remember having a great time with them. The only bad thing was that they would wear down easily because they were so soft.

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
Pea shooters seemed to be far more popular in the past than they are today - I can't remember the last time I saw a child with a pea shooter. I don't know the history of the pea shooter but I'm guessing its been around for many years and has got many a naughty schoolboy into deep trouble with the headmaster.
If you look at any of the comics from the 80's you'll see loads of kids with catapults and pea shooters but they seem to have mysteriously disappeared from use today - does anyone know if kids still use pea shooters?

Nerf balls saved me tons of bodily harm in Jr. High when I was continously pegged by the jocks in gym class during dodge-ball. I like using them to play volleyball with too, since I have trouble picking up movement due to less-than-perfect vision.
