Used to play with silly putty a lot. Also popped bubble wrap. Liked legos and other stuff you could build with, or stuff that would change like beast wars or transformers.

Not that I really do any of that anymore. Most of my time is spent doodling or designing games or listening to music or watching videos or playing games myself.

K'nex and legos. Yes, I'm 27 and I still play with them
When I was around 12 I made a wind turbine of my own design and a working clock complete with pendulum and counterweights out of K'nex.

Best toys ever made!! !! !! !! !

Tennis balls, stress balls, Slinkies are some of my favorites. Also, those silicone wrist rests for use with computer mice are lots of fun.

Aaand just like that you put my K'nex suspension bridge to shame!

I used to construct Lego baseball stadiums.

Lol
I remember making a suspension bridge too! My largest creation was a skyscraper that was 15 feet tall

Wish I had a picture of it.

Most of my toys are imaginary, but as to the physical ones I guess I do have a tiger figurine with which I play a lot, today I pretended it bit me in the brow, its funny because it is so small and also because I had to held his head to be able to pet it.

These but they started making them out of plastic rather than glass, and I haven't found anything but the ones on the built-in handle these days

Clown whistles, kazoos and most of those other random skee-ball ticket prizes
