| Happy Apple by Fisher-Price |
The Fisher-Price Happy Apple made its debut the same year that I did, 1972. It was a simplistic baby toy that made a beautiful chime sound when tipped. Between the sweet sound and that warm, smiling happy face, Happy Apple kept '70s and '80s babies mesmerized for hours.
Anyone remember this toy?
I STILL HAVE MINE! I refuse to give him up :)
ReplyDeleteI remember it being in our tag sale stuff when I was a kid. Don't know if it sold or is still in the boxes of junk we have stored.
ReplyDeleteI was too old and had no kids yet, so I don't know this one!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog...gets me all nostalgic and teary eyed with memories!
ReplyDeleteNot only do I remember it, we still have my husband's original! It has the top stem chewed off...by him LOL! Love this toy :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I still have mine w/ the stem chewed off by yours truly. Seems knawing off the stem was so popular that later editions were made w/ a shorter stem, lmao!
ReplyDeleteI remember this wacky apple would always be laying around on the floor of my pre-school and when I'd see it, I'd try to pull the stem off because I thought the apple would look better without it! I think I gnawed a little on the leaves, too...
ReplyDeleteMy older brother was the first of 5 of us to play with this apple. None of us bit the stem but I just picked it up from my moms house for my 6 month old.I remember being fascinated by this toy!
ReplyDeleteI still have ours too my mom got it for my older sister which pasted it down . Needless to say this thing is over 40 yrs old and now all four of my kids have enjoyed it too great toy!!!
