It is fun to look back in time to 1972 to see the toys we played with. Barbies were as popular as ever, girls make up and Beauty Parlor were much loved, and every girl wanted the popular Easy Bake Oven. For boys toys anything that was remote control including the Plane featured this year were the most wanted. Outdoor fun ideas including the adventure tunnel and the popular Frisbee were also much in demand, anything from Hot Wheels was sure to sell and the strange looking aerobat was short lived in popularity.
