It was a movie called Cheaper By The Dozen. Based on a true story of an efficiency expert doctor who had 9 or 10 children and they lived in Montclair NJ. The Gilbreath Family.

My sister and I were recent reminiscing about our Snuggles which we had all our friends autograph. “Everyone had one!” We grew up in Northern Va where families were always moving in and out while in government/military service so we saw a lot of different fad toys that my contemporaries have never heard of.

I remember a circus-themed show hosted by Don Ameche in the early sixties. I believe it was International Showtime.

Does anyone remember a wooden rocker horse that had foot pads that you pushed down on while pulling up on the handles that went to a rounded piece that was supposed to move the horse forward. Most dangerous thing I was ever given as gift. No adult or kid was able to ride it without being bucked off on your butt or back. We actually had toys that would/could cause injury 🤕

One thing that I did not see mentioned was a building blocks set similar to Legos. I’ve built many a dream home from these blocks. Most of the blocks were of the same size, rectangular and white, some clear. There were different sized pieces for the roof, doors, windows and chimney and maybe some plants for outside. There were no pieces for inside the house. This was solely an architecture and landscape project. I spent many hours building homes in the 50s. It was one of my favorite Christmas gifts. Does anybody remember this?
