1975 was a great year in the middle of the 70's for children's toys with new versions and accessories for girls Barbie and boys GI Joe's ruling the roost. Many of the old faithful toys were still on sale including popular board games, girls rocking horses, Lionel Train sets and electric car racing sets. Other popular toy ideas included erector sets, Brix Blox, model kits and even Junior Wood Working Home Workshops encouraged children to make things. While others were targeted at children who were creative with toys like Jewelry hobby kits and Pottery craft. Early versions of Electric/Electronic games were just appearing powered by sets of batteries including TV Tennis. Cassette recorders and Record Players (Still marketed as Phonographs) provided the music. It is impossible to talk about children's toys without mentioning the all important Bicycle's that every boy and girl hoped for at Christmas and Birthdays.
