Old School toys you wish your kids wanted for Christmas.

Have you ever bought your kid a toy that YOU loved as a child?  Then they said something like, "yeah, cool, thanks," and went back to playing video games?

A recent survey asked parents to name the top old-school toys they WISH their kids wanted.  Here are the top ten . . .

1.  A bike.

2.  Puzzles.

3.  Board games.

4.  A teddy bear or stuffed animal.

5.  A ball.  Like a football or basketball.

6.  Building blocks.

7.  An art set.

8.  Modelling clay.

9.  Toy animals.  We think they mean those little educational ones for younger kids.

10.  A jump rope.

A few that just missed the top ten list of Old School toys you wish your kids wanted for Christmas were a musical instrument at #11 . . . a train set at #14 . . . a yo-yo at #15 . . . a doll house at #21 . . . a telescope at #23 . . . and a microscope at #25.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
