Fisher-Price Activity Centre

I never had one, but boy as i grew up i wish i had. They were chunky and clunky, with moving wheels, and clicking dials, dingers and squeeks and stronger than a Tonka truck. This really put a new spin on kids going to work.

Fisher-Price Activity Centre

The unit comprised a mirror, a hare and tortoise slider, a pump-action style bell and at least three different types of spinning discs and finally a telephone dial.

It's true i really wanted one the first few times i saw it, but now as an adult i must admit hearing it for a few minutes soon helps me change my mind. It would drive any adult nuts!

There have been loads of updates and various versions of this product, but the original Fisher-Price Activity Centre will no doubt remain in the minds of many of you.

2 memories:

And then for the entire 1980's you'd find them in Doctors waiting rooms.

That is so true. I can't think what health and safety is behind it!
