Remember Crissy Dolls? Those groovy dolls with the growing hair feature that lets you change their hairstyles on the fly? If you were a kid in the '70s, you probably spent hours cranking that knob on her back to make her hair long, then short again. Share your favourite hobbies from yesteryears here!

My brother and I had a lot of fun with a Meccano set - he was great at building models and things like cranes that moved. Our other great interest was collecting Matchbox vehicles.

I had Chrissy and also her cousin Velvet. Who had blonde hair and a deep purple velvet dress.

Back in the 60s this was an awesome thing to have a doll who's hair you could make long by the button on her tummy or shortened by the dial on her back
