When we were kids, eons ago, there were always a few iconic toys and equipment in the hall closet, or yard, or neighborhood (midwestern version):

ice skates

bat, ball, mitts

football

sled

fishing pole & tackle box

Then I remembered:

stilts

tire swing

swings

teeter-totter

squirt guns

Then I thought of girl toys:

jacks

jump rope

roller skates w/ key

Then boy toys:

Cub Scout knife

caps & cap guns & rifles

bow & rubber-tipped arrows

Daisy B B gun (ten years old)

Tonka type trucks

Then:

chalk for drawing four square & hopscotch on the pavement

Later:

hula hoop

skateboard

frisbee

And, finally, the ubiquitous:

bicycle

Of course, equipment wasn't needed. A tree was for climbing, a stick for imagining, woods for exploring, time for spending. Throw in a puddle, and life was good.
