I went to elementary school in Ma. in the 50′s and I remember playing a game in school that had minitture milk bottles, (plastic0 and little trucks. Does anyone remember this game or the name of it? Also trying to find a set of reading cards from the same time, that the student advanced by color. Certain colors were harder than others. I believe purple was up there. Anyone know the name of that system?

Thanks for any help locating these items or at least the names of these items! Carroll

I don’t know how educational a Frisbee or a Mr. Potato Head would be.

carol, its not anyones fault that parents dont spend as much time with thier kids as they should. im 18, and my mom never really spent alot of time with me n my sisters, she was always working. some people actually dont have the option to spend all the time with kids, they are too busy trying to provide for us..

Bill,
I have a Jan Murray’s Treasure Hunt board game.
I believe it is in good condition, and appears to have all the pieces. If you are interested, I can take pics and we can discuss pricing. Please send me an email.

Sorry Bill, I looked around and couldn’t find anything that pointed me in the right direction. Good luck on your hunt! The title of the game never felt so relevant I bet.

I am looking for the board game edition of “Treasure Hunt” that starred Jan Murray. If you don’t have it, please direct me to a site that does. “Treasure Hunt” was the 1st board that I owned. Thaks for your help!

I think that is so sad with so many parents working now and NO time for their kids. I’m just so glad that my husband and I have chosen to do things the OLD Fashioned way with me at home. My 2 kids both love it and we ALL do family things on the weekend. My kids are allowed to have some Wii and movies but everything is MONITORED daily to make certain if they have any questions or comments, we are there to answer them. There are NO violent video games in the house at all and the computer is in the kitchen where we can ALWAYS keep an eye on what sights they are on. Today more than ever before we as Parents have got to do the job PROPERLY.

Ah yes , Playdough , Frisbee and Mr Potato Head several nostalgic pieces of my past. Reminds me of a time when our childhood entertainment were simple and even educational.

Nowadays kids are engrossed with console and online video games that tend to suck up hours of their days , its a little sad acutally.
