So playful! Angela Yosten is bringing back the fun and imagination of paper dolls with her new fabric collection Flats from Moda Fabrics and coordinating thread collection from Aurifil. Due for release in May, the bright colors and modern designs make it perfect for any project for the young or the young at heart!
It is not surprising that Angela, a busy wife and mother, is so talented with color and design.
“Since I was young, I was influenced by many talented people. Growing up I was raised in both a technical and creative atmosphere.While my mother taught me how to sew and encouraged all things arts and crafts-related, my father owned a computer business and taught me how to be independent and figure things out on my own. My grandmothers and greats were also a constant influence with their own special talents of knitting, sewing, quilting and art. I have always enjoyed drawing, painting and designing, but it was not until I had my own children that inspired me to find my way back into the sewing room to discover my own style
On the technical side, I work full-time as a web developer for Moda Fabrics. On the creative side, I have my own design company as an outlet to be able to share my designs through books, patterns, and tutorials.”
Angela is also the author of Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew! published by Stash Books and a contributor to Modern Blocks, Fresh Fabric Treats, and Sweet Celebrations with the Moda Bake Shop Chefs.
Aurifil is presenting two thread collections to accompany her fabric. Each collection has 12 spools of the finest cotton.
The first collection case includes 12 colors of 12 wt thread in large spools each containing 386 yards .
Colors included : 2021-2311-2314-2372-2360.4241-2625-5007-2886-2105-2140-1103

Colors included : 2021-2311-2314-2372-2360.4241-2625-5007-2886-2105-2140-1103

I loved playing Flashlight Tag in the woods near my grandmother’s summer house with my cousins. 15 to 20 kids of all ages, some of my best friends growing up!
Very beautiful collection! My favorite game was Monopoly. Owning Park Ave. was the best part.
This is a beautiful collection. Such fun. My favorite childhood game was Hop Scotch. Thanks for the chance to win.

What beautiful fabric! My favorite childhood game was jumping rope. Thanks for the giveaway. :0)
I love playing cards–any game–and I loved winning!
I played with dolls all the time. It was no other child near by, but I was very fond of my dolls, and I sewed new chlotes all the time.
I loved to play pick-up sticks when I was young. Thank you for the chance to win your
wonderful thread.
My favorite game was Jacks…
I think that I loved playing mermaids with my cousin on my grandmas trampoline filled with water the best 🙂 thanks for the chance!
My favorite childhood game was playing softball- what fun we had! Thanks for the opportunity to win the Aurifil threads, my favorite thread for quilting! bmoubray (at) yahoo (dot) com
I loved playing house or shop with my younger sister! We would set it all up in lots of detail and play for hours. Another one was planning and performing a “concert” for our mom (or anyone else who might have been there) – all together with “stage lights” (aka table lamp on the floor, turned up 🙂 ).
Jacks and Old Maid were my favorite games. Can’t decide which I like the best. Bit I do know I like those pretty threads.
I have fond memories of playing kick the can with all the neighborhood kids! It was so exciting and scary!
Love the collection! My favorite game growing up was red light-green light. Boy, thinking about this has brought back some great memories!!
.
We were always outside, playing all shorts of games.
Hide and steek was one of our favourites
I loved the game Colored Eggs, I don’t remember the exact details on how to play it but I remember having a lot of fun with my friends at recess!
I loved playing all of the outdoor games, jumprope, roller skating, etc. But some of my favorites were when my sister and I built a fort out of sheets on our front porch and the games we played late at night when we went to bed! We had twin beds in our room and we used to play that we were on a raft that got split, we would hold hands until we “floated” to far apart-then one of us would swim to the other “raft” were we would try to survive together! LOL
When the weather permitted we played an invented game called handy over during the day and ditch when the sun went down. Indoors we played cards. A neighbor and I played canasta regularly and other neighbors were always around to watch. Ah the good ol days! The fabric is beautiful but the best part is the addition of Aurifil thread. Great giveaway!
My favorite childhood game was ‘Cat’s cradle’ I would sit for hours either on my own or with my friends figuring out new ways to play! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
jewelszoo(at)hotmail(dot)com
What a great collection of threads. While sitting on the cement sidwalk, my next door neighbor and I would play gin rummy and crazy eight. Great times.
Beautiful thread colors and fabric! My favorite game was Kick the Can. The neighborhood kids would play this every night during the summer. Those were some of the best childhood memories. Thanks for the chance to win.
Kick The Can
My favorite game was one we (my twin sister, little brother, and 2 favorite cousins) made up when we were out our grandpa’s house – The Pirate Game. Our grandpa’s house had 3 outside porches which became our pirate ships. Imaginations we had!
Mine was hide and seek. But there were times when I’d end up being so bored of having to quietly stay put in one place that I would deliberately give my position away :-/
I loved playing jackstones, My friends and I spent hours and hours and hours playing! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love games of any kind and seeing this fabric line took me back a few years! Would love to win it and the Aurifil thread to match!!
I loved chutes and ladders and candyland.
I use to love playing jump rope and riding my bike.
Love to play outside with my friends…hop scotch, jump rope. hide & seek etc. This fabric brings back a lot of great memories for an older lady!
My favorite childhood game was Mouse Trap. mary

I always have and probably always will love paper dolls. I think this is why I love Angela’s flats so much.
Sheila @ magicmoondancer@gmail.com
I always loved the Game of Life
I loved my roller skates and when it rained I was allowed to skate around the basement – as long as I promised to duck whenever I came to any heating ducts!
I always loved to play Life.
When the cousins would get together we would play “red rover”. But when home and hanging out with the neighbors we always made time to play canasta when it was too hot to be outside and running.
We played Hide and Seek, and now my granddaughter is wanting to play all the time.
I guess we never really grow up
What’s wonderful giveaway! It would be wonderful to have the perfect thread to se with the gorgeous fabric! My favorite game was marbles on the school playground…in the days when school grounds were not paved.
After jump roping we’d play Canasta! Fun childhood!
I always loved to play with my Barbies, I was lucky to always have plenty of toys and friends to play with. marthapatterson1959@gmail.com
When I was a kid my favorite game was hide and seek, but I really loved it when we went to my grandparents house in Kentucky and played the game. I would go to the tobacco barn and climb all the way to the top of the barn and hide between the tobacco stalks that were hanging there. No one could see me and I won. I would love to win this collection. Good luck eveyone.
I read alot in the apple tree, or by the creek, but I did love to play hop scotch on the front stoop. (When not playing trucks with my brother.)
I loved playing card games with my parents and siblings.
We use to get a group of kids together and play hide& go seek.We would hide under porches ,behind bushes anywherewe kids cannot seem to do in the subdivision they live in now in the city.Lots of Fun.
I loved playing Hide and Seek as a child. It was always fun trying to think of a place no one had hidden before. One time my brother hid in the clothes hamper and we like to never found him! 🙂
scotty4me39 (at) yahoo (dot) com
My favorite game was Canasta but my favorite pastime was reading.During my “second childhood” I learned to quilt but I still love playing Canasta and reading.
I loved playing with my baby dolls and dressing them up in the new clothes my mother made for my Christmas presents. I had four brothers and if I played with them it was army or cowboys and Indians. That never worked out in my favor. LOL
My favorite outdoor games were hop scotch, hide and seek and double dutch jump rope. Indoors was playing rummy with my mom and sister. For some reason the game just isn’t the same without mom.
Not a game as such, but I enjoyed making clothes for my Sindy doll on an old handcrank Singer and then staging a fashion show.
Childhood memories of jacks, paper dolls, checkers, monopoly and cribbage. It is so much fun to create quilts for young people with eye catching colors and patterns that can cretan a conversation either with parents or grandparents
I would have to say building forts out of sofa cushions and blankets was a favorite activity of mine 🙂
I loved playing any kind of pretend game like house, store, aquarium etc
What a great combo!
Forgot the childhood game: playing house with the kids from the neighborhood.
I read and sewed as a kid, but when mom threw us out of the house, we would play red rover and hide and seek, if not get on our bikes and ride to the library and a treat at the ice cream shop that was not too far away!
We lived at the end of the street with a street light in front of our house which was the perfect “base” for tag – we would play for hours with plenty of hiding spots and space to run. We also had the perfect yard as our lawn and the neighbors lawn made for a big area for us to play all kinds of games – red rover, dodge ball, etc.
I used to play “The Price Is Right” with my friends at our porch, which had a chicken wire netting (I think) on it to which I attached the cardboard letters by using clothespins. We liked to build tents, play dodge ball, and roller skate with those clamp-on skates! trilliumcreates AT gmail DOT com
I think the favorite game was pick up baseball on a corner lot. The bad part was that we didn’t learn until we were in Jr High not to throw the bat after a hit. Very few of us walked away from that childhood game without a scar above our eye….I’m still filling in my eyebrow where my scar sits
What a wonderful giveaway! My favourite childhood game was playing Gin with my dad.
chocolatechippers at gmail dot com
I was a huge fan of playing marbles! Still like to play marbles, but with these old knees, can’t get up and down as quick anymore! har!!!
cswsand50@hotmail.com
My siblings and I played pretend store all the time. My brother had a collection of bottle caps that we used for money, and all sorts of things were the merchandise – quite often his baseball glove became a ham at the “grocery store.”
some wonderful threads..

Hi 🙂 I loved playing with dolls 🙂
Oh wow! This must be one of the coolest giveaways in the whole worldwideweb! New fun Moda – and threadilicious Aurifil!
I would play with the neighborhood kids in an old school bus that one of the parents bought and put on the back of their property. We had so much fun pretending all different kind of situations. One neighbor had chickens so we were given some of the “cracked” eggs and pretended to be cooking all kinds of things.
I loved building forts in the forest with my brothers. Building would keep us busy and out of mom” hair. Starting point for me becoming a passionate homemaker.
I loved to play pretend! My friends and I were always outside playing up a new adventure!
missysaprons@gmail.com
Kickball was my favorite childhood game. We played outdoors every chance we got. When we didn’t go outside, our Daddy took a lot of time to teach us how to play card games and board games. We had the best childhoods ever!
Tetherball was my favorite.
I loved playing with Betsy McCall paper dolls that I got out of my Grandmother’s McCall’s magazines and with sewing cards. I know saying this is REALLY dating myself! Love this giveaway & Aurifil & Moda…thanks for a great giveaway!
NTZASQRL2(at)msn(dot)com
I loved hide-n-seek! My sisters and I were really good at it, we played inside and outside, daylight or night and had tons of fun!!
Hard to say what was a favorite since there were so many fun things to do! Ball with the neighbor kids, bike riding with my sister & brothers or cards with grandma when she visited. Then there’s always the times I was allowed to use mom’s sewing machine to make doll clothes! (and later clothes for me) Rules were simple–be careful around the needle, ask for help when needed and clean up your mess when done.
We always played board games.
My Favorite childhood game had to be playing imagine with my friends. Where we would run around imagining we where different people or on different planets or in our favorite cartoon shows. I loved being able to do that with my friends and not be the damsel in distress but the knight going to slay what ever evil dooer we imagined.
Is playing in the sprinkler a game??? I am from SoCal and often we turned on the rprinkler in the backyard and played for hours. Running Jumping and laughing in the sunshine….Those were the days 🙂

Thanks for the giveaway!

vtippenv(at)netscape(dot)net
1-2-3 Red Light. Neighborhood kids would line up and race to a finish line. The leader would hide their eyes and then yell 1-2-3 red light. Anyone still moving was out. Whoever got there first won. No prize -just fun. Equipment needed- none. Fun had – lots!!!

My childhood game was “Hide ‘n Seek”
I come from a family of 6, 3 girls first and then 3 little brothers. We used to play Partridge family, with fake musical instruments for our band. We’d put their record on the record player and sing along. The younger you were, the less chance you got to be one of the cool members of the family….luckily, I was the second oldest.

My sister and I used to love to play Monopoly but it is not very fun with only two people. We would pay my older brother a quarter to play with us. After a bit, he would be so obnoxious that we would quit and he would happily walk away with our quarter in his pocket 🙁
Thank you for the giveaway! My favorite game was Ghost in the Graveyard (night tag) with the neighborhood kids! Since we lived in the country there was plenty of space to play, and no streetlights made it especially dark!
Olivia.hascher (at) yahoo (dot) com
When I was little there were many other children in the neighborhood & we played outside for hours. We played kickball & four square but my favorite was Ghosts In The Graveyard. It was a hide & seek game where the “hiders” would try to make it back to home base before they were tagged by the “seeker”.
For a board game, I always liked to play Sorry. Outside, I loved playing hopscotch, which as an adult, it is not too easy!
Solitaire, LOL I was kind of a loner as a child. Not any more! Thanks for the lovely giveaway

Srussett514 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I just LOVED making “houses” out of Fall leaves. The neighborhood kids would all rake their yards into what looked like house rooms. Then, we’d take our dolls and go “visit” each other’s leaf houses. AH, thank you for the memory.
I loved to red rover, red rover…there were a group of us kids that would play that all the time. Now with grandkids, I have met flat stanley. He is awesome. I made laminated ones for my son to take when traveling and the kids just seeing him with dad. mapurcell2@att.net
Over here in England we used to play gymkhanas! We would set up jumps and hoops and pretend to be horses. The most important part was choosing our names. I was always called Peach ha ha 🙂
ultimate frisbee – the best part? everyone at college enjoys playing at as well 🙂
bethbimber (at) gmail (dot) com
My favorite childhood game was what we liked to call “Queenie Rides”. 2 Children would make a type of chair by linking their arms and then a third would sit on their arms and be carried around the room while waving. Sounds boring but it often turned into a rolling pile of kids that kept dropping someone because they were laughing so hard. Good Memories 🙂
Wow!! That is a tough question!! We played outside after school and on weekends. We had to be home when the street lights came on! We played hide and seek, S.P.U.D., hopscotch, Cowboys and Indians, Honey West, The Monkee’s, bike riding, tree climbing, tadpole hunting in the lake, dressing our troll dolls and Barbies!! But roller skating was probably my all time favorite! Not the cool in-line roller-blades they have now…the old kind that you clamped onto your hard soled shoes using a little key you wore on a string around your neck!! Yes! I’m older than dirt!! LOL!! Thanks for the chance to win some awesome MODA and Aurifil thread!! Moda is sooooo my favorite color!!
Each Wednesday night was game night in our family of 7. My favorite game was Sorry.

I love playing Snakes and Ladders with my cousin Marc and we used buttons for our markers.
Thanks for the giveaway!
When I was little we lived in a really big apartment complex with a lot of outdoor space and there were lots of children. The game I loved playing the most was hide and seek. There would be so many of us that it would take forever for the one looking. One time I fell asleep and got in trouble for being late for dinner!
I haven’t thought about this for a long time ~ thanks for the memory!
My favorite childhood game was Hide-and-Seek!
We had a pony that was broke to pull a cart, Applecart was difficult to catch. Our favorite game was hiding the rope and luring him in. First one to catch him got to drive first. It sure pays to sneek treats to the ornery one! I’m pretty good at harnessing up and driving!
Fun times….
Tisha
My favourite childhood game was building houses under the trees near my house with my friends. We used to decorate our “houses” and we would spend hour there eating swets and playing with our dolls.

Such beautiful fabrics, and all that thread looks so yummy! My favorite game growing up was hopscotch. I still love to play that!
Hide and seek definitely never got old with me! I also could play Connect 4 for hours 🙂

I loved jumping on a pogo stick among many other games; jacks, hop scotch, and Sorry!
My favorite game was “Kick the Can” with all of the neighborhood kids almost everynight during the summer.
What a great giveaway! I loved playing a game of hide n seek…where there is only one person hiding…and when the seekers find the hider…the seeker hides with him…until there is only one person left seeking the others.
When we were young my sisters and I played Jacks like crazy. Great giveaway, thanks for the chance!
My favorite childhood game was always my own version of hide and seek–my twist was that I’d hide from the other children while they played together. 🙂 Some of my best memories are sitting up high in a tree watching the other kids play below me while I worked on my own project. Usually crochet or needlework.
I loved playing Monopoly with my two older brothers! One of my brothers passed away in April and those marathon games are a wonderful memory for me.

I love this fabric! My favorite “game” as a child was playing school with my cousins in the school room at our grandparents house…we had everything: chalkboard, teachers desk, and old student desks from an old school.
My favorite childhood game was playing ‘house’; we had this cute little playhouse in our backyard my dad built – shingles and all…and you can imagine how furious he was when he found out we had punched a hole in the roof to add a second level…ya, I was 8. My sister 7. We were grounded forever! lol
My favorite childhood game was Mousetrap! It was crazy and fun, and I loved that my big sisters would play it with me for hours. Also–I have to say I am simply blown away by how gorgeous and fun this collection is! Thanks so much for sharing it!
What a great kit, I’m trying to increase my collection of aurifil! My favorite childhood game was playing jacks with my sister. I guess that tells you how old I am, I’m not sure if they even sell them anymore!

jpshirley@ymail.com
We used to play chinese jumprope all the time. I was rather good at it since I was tall and skinny. Loved it.
My favorite activity was playing with fashion dolls. Mom taught me to sew for them at the age of 5, & she taught me to make furniture & such from odd stuff around the house. A tissue box was her bed, a wooden spool, pencil, & deodorant cap was a floor lamp. My doll had everything a lady could want.
Go Fish with a deck of “real cards” inside and doge ball outside with all the neighbor kids

My favorite childhood game was Jacks! I especially loved it because my grandpa would sit on the floor and play it with me. And I never did beat him! Some of my favorite memories.

In Italy I use to play the game “witch calls a color”. The witch called a color out and the others had to find something with that color and run to touch it. Loved it, just like I love all the aurifil threads!
Hide and Go Seek in the dark scary basement. ooohhh scarrryyy
Loved playing freeze tag when I was a kid!

We loved playing capture the flag and ghost in the graveyard as kids.
Reading some of the comments brought back so many memories. My very first thought was to say “Operation”. I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. But after reading some of the older games, I remember playing “Button, Button” at my Grandmother’s house. I don’t know if we actually played it correctly. But she always had that big tin of buttons, and we would hide them all over the house, and then tried to find them all again. 🙂 Happy memories! angie@maqs.net
What wonderful memories all the comments here bring to mind! It’s hard for me to pick one favorite, but I love Red Light, Green Light. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway!
So many fun games and memories to choose from! Barbies with my sister, Rook with my brothers, “Clue”, “Life” and Jigsaw puzzles with everyone. Great childhood!
My favorite game was hide and seek. We’d play for hours and hours. 🙂
Beautiful giveaway! My favorite childhood game was Pictionary, it was great to be able to draw and laugh with my family! It was always fun to see what the other one would draw and it was a great time to just relax and laugh! Good quality family time
I used to love Candy Land, and Kings in the corner with my great grandmother. I don’t know if it was her that made it fun, but we would play that as soon as I woke up with eggs and toast 🙂
i loved playing hoscotch and using keys to mark my place, I love the new collection and the colors are sp pretty! Laurene

I loved playing hop scotch with my friends when I was little. I can still see us writing on the sidewalk. It was the best time. And I would love to win the Flats. I am in love with them.
I loved the hula hoop and hopscotch. And in the evening the bigger kids would congregate on someone’s lawn and we would play Baby in the Air and Freeze tag. Good times!
Love the fabric and the thread. One of my favorite games was Where’s the Button. We played this with my Grandma and she would tell us if we were getting hot (close to the button) or cold (moving away from the button). It’s one of many great memories of her.

I have never used Aurifil thread. I would love to have a chance to use it.
We played lots of games as a family. Cards, board games, riddles, out door games … lots. We turned almost everything into a game. Risk, Rack-o, Stock Ticker, Hearts, War, Snap, Old Maid, Memory were all favourites.
I loved kick the can in the summer time. It was always fun with all the kids in the neighborhood! Thank you for sharing our beautiful fabrics and threads!
I think my favourite childhood game was “elastics”, it was played a lot in primary schools in NZ in the ’70’s and was the only physical game I was good at. I could even do “necksies” which was when the big long loop of elastic was held at neck height (and width) and you had to jump high enough to get over one side, to the middle then over the other side; great fun!

Many favorite games, especially Monopoly…. but my favorite thing to play was dolls, dolls, dolls.
Growing up, I lived in a huge development that bordered a wooded area and a lake. And there were tons of kids. Playing outside was mandatory. Kickball; red light, green light; softball; street hockey; ring-a-lareo; and a complicated game of hide-and-seek that was done by teams. My all-time favorite was the team play of hide-and seek! What lovely memories!
My favorite games were the ones we played outdoors: Mr. Wolf, Skipping, Double Dutch, Marbles, Frozen Tag, Statue Museum, Kick the Can, Hide and Seek…. oh my gosh… there were a bunch more… sigh… what great memories 🙂
All the neighborhood kids played kickball in the back yard. Fun times!
I loved building forts out of hay or sticks in the woods. My favorite board game was Monopoly and my grandma and I would play for hours. Wonderful giveaway!

I love the fabric and thread what a wonderful giveaway. I love to play dodge ball and hopscotch.
we used to play red light green light at dusk. So much fun.

Whoohoo!.. my absolute fave game was hide n seek. The reason why is we lived in a trailer park and we would have so many kids playing. We’d play after dark……back when kids would stay out till the street lights came on. 🙂
My sister and I got a game for Christmas one year, Pig Pong. It was a game of volleyball/ping pong that had a light “ball” and pigs that you squeezed to blow the ball over the net. I have many memories playing that game–with my cat curiously watching.
i loved to play red rover we would play at recess those were the good times
When I was a child in the 60’s, we played tons of games out in the front yard of our house and all the houses of the neighbors. It was not unusual to have 8 or 10 kids playing until our moms called us in to dinner. Hide n seek was a common game, along with all kinds of tag games (freeze tag, cartoon tag), but my favorite was called Trails of 49.
I loved to roller skate so we played roller derby. Ah…memories. jrsygurl60@yahoo dot com
Loved playing hide and seek with all the neighborhood kids. Summertime and warm nights.
I loved playing “Hide ‘n’ Seek” out at the lake where it was soooo dark at night. It’s a miracle that we didn’t break ourselves falling over and running into things! In our teen years, we played cards nearly every night – it didn’t matter what we were playing as long as the bunch of us were together hanging out.
My brother and I were into all kinds of board games. Monopoly with my Dad if we were a glutton for punishment, but I also liked “Mousetrap”. Thanks for the giveaway! FLATS looks like a great collection!
It’s amazing how a question like that can bring back so many memories. We made up a game using marbles, a hula hoop, and a broom. My girlfriend and I are in our mid 50’s and we still talk about how much fun we had. It’s amazing what you can think of without the use of technology. plajaunie49@hotmail.com
Red Rover was one of my favorite games at school. When I was a child we played outside all of the time and made of lots of games. Love the fabric!!!

Thanks for the chance to win!
We played lots and lots of kick the can. All the neighborhood kids would gather and play til the sun went down. We also played lots of Fish. Thanks.
I loved sardines and murder, especially playing murder outside at night. 😀
We made up an outdoor game when we were young and named it ‘Aha! Spies!’. It consisted of running from one pre-arranged base to another after aha! Spies! was called out. If you were tagged, you were it and everyone started over at base one. Man those days were the best!
My favorite game was Red Rover!

My favorite childhood game was Hop Scotch! Oh, and Clue.. Oh and stoop ball… Oh and barbies… Ah! I loved all my childhood games. Well, except Dodge-ball. ouch.
i was never allowed to play with kids, especially games. i dont even know at age 63, how hopscotch was played or jacks. I had a strict mom.
So many different games I loved…jacks, hopscotch, capture the flag. Inside games were parcheesi and monopoly. Summertime was spent swimming and play playing Marco Polo in the pool. Love the fabrics, like paper dolls
Too many to choose but perhaps Monoloply? Thanks for the fun memory jog!
I loved playing with Playmobil sets- especially with horses.
I loved Chinese jump rope!
Growing up recess always included tether ball! I remember learning the game and strategies used! So much fun. Can we go back to that simpler time? Well maybe in my dreams.
Hide & Seek was my favorite because I would climb trees & nobody could find me! My boys, on the other hand, didn’t quite get the rules & would jump out & scare me to death! lol
Chutes & ladders was one of my absolute favorites! Thanks for a chance to win!!
Love this giveaway! My favorite childhood game was tag.

My goodness! One favorite game? I’d have to chose Red Rover, or Jacks, or night tag, or hide the button, or dominoes with my granddad. Such a blessing to have had such a wonderful childhood. The Flats bundle is so happy! Thank you!
I used to love to play flashlight tag outside on warm summer night. Love the new line. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite game was Jump rope. Down in the valley where the green grass grows……..
My favorite childhood game was jacks. My mother used to play with me, It’s so sad that I can’t get the plain rubber type ball that we used to use. The jacks now come with a superball type ball and it makes the game harder to play. I also liked pick up sticks!
It is so hard to choose. I loved hide-and-go-seek in the dark with the neighborhood kids. Jacks with the girls and designing my own paper doll for single play.
My favorite game was kickball. This was back in the days when kids
