Clackers​

Who remembers playing with clackers? These colourful and loud toys were a source of entertainment back in the day. Shaking them up and down makes them produce clacking sounds, hence the name! Did you own one of these? Share your childhood memories with us here!

im mid to late 60's and i can remember the USA kids having them and im sure they had a different name maybe "Clonkers" but i never saw them in Australia

But i do remember the old spinning tops available from AMCO Petrol stations
The biggest craze of all in my hey day was "Marbles' and the Yo Yo (You had to have the best Coke a Cola Brand)

Yes, I do remember these. I think I got some in a show bag at the Royal Easter Show along with lots of other little fun toys.
