When I was 6 years old, my mother surprised me with a subscription to Jack and Jill magazine. I was surprised because I had never heard of J&J. Anyway, the first issue I received was in October of 1966, when I came home from school to find it waiting for me on the kitchen table along with a cool sticker book. Sadly, that first issue no longer has a cover, but actually this one is much more interesting to me because I was a victim of Hole-In-Bottom-Of-Trick-or-Treat-Bag myself the very first time i went Trick-or-Treating.
Don't let it happen to you!
I stuck that skull on whatever I could, including a Glow-In-The-Dark Duncan Yo-Yo.
Really, I don't see the problem here...

Jack and Jill had a "Let's Talk About Toys" column, meaning,
hit your parents up for money or start a paper route now!
In case you need instructions for your Thingmaker...
And as a bonus...
My first experience with the Green Ghost Game came during a visit to my grandparents on my mother's side. I was sitting in the backyard of their awesome 20's era house when a girl my age(6-ish) appeared at the the neighbor's fence and asked if I wanted to play a game with her! I spent the rest of the evening playing GGG with her in a darkened garage. I remember that she had long, dark brown hair. I've been into brunettes ever since...
"Plastigoop", that's a good one!
ReplyDeleteremember, it's NON-TOXIC, so drink as much as you want!
ReplyDeleteI still have my Green Ghost game but the box is all fugged up and water stained. The art on it is actually more fun than the game. Man I totally remember those Dennison Halloween Seals too, I had those skulls all over my notebook as a kid. Do they still make them?
