Kids always love to play, but toys have changed quite a bit over the years. Here are 50 years of the most popular toys from 1930 to 1980.<\/p>\n<h4>1930 Charlotte Clark Mickey Mouse Doll<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130187\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130187\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130187 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081113\/toys_7.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"570\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/fM1TCn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The small stuffed dolls were designed and produced by Charlotte Clark and her staff after the Walt Disney short \u201cSteamboat Willie\u201d was released to great accord.

What followed in the years after was a slew of merchandise on everything from notepads to watches to socks and everything in between.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<h4>1931 Finger Paint<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130171\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130171\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130171 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081115\/toys_4.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1290\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130171\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/7r4TE4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Look at those wonderful polka dot smocks to keep the paint off their dresses.

When copycat socks began to chip away at their business, a red heel was added in 1932 to assure customers that they were buying the original. As needs must during the Great Depression, mothers soon made use of this red heel as the mouth for an easy to make homemade toy that could be produced from a worn out sock. It was not until the 1950s that the Nelson Knitting Company acquired any kind of patent for a sock monkey, despite the fact that they had been including a pattern with each pair of Red Heel Rockfords for years.<\/p>\n<h4>1933 Kewpie Doll<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130188\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130188\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130188 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081121\/toys_8.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/5PDwBC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>1934 Buck Rogers Pocket Pistol<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130234\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130234\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130234 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081122\/toys_21.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/8s5QDQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>1935 Shirley Temple Doll<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130233\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130233\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130233 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081124\/toys_20.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"904\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/k19mBi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>1936 Balsa Wood Model Sets<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_130274\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-130274\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130274 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greatlifepublishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/11\/24081126\/toys_24.jpg\" alt=\"Most popular toys the year you were born\" width=\"1000\" height=\"416\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-130274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Via\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/bDBnuV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Balsa wood model kits were cheap to produce and this was a bonus for many families.
