I had forgot about the dentist toys. Didn’t forget no shot for a small cavity 😭. Dentist said it’s small won’t hurt B. S. She had a twin never new which one to yell at. And the toy machines, and jewelry boxes, can’t remember who jogged my memory, but T. Y. THE GOOD DAYS 🤗

Kiddles! My sis and I LOVED them! We had the regular sized ones inside a plastic clear, bubble-like brooch where the little Kiddle doll went. Then there was plastic carvings with plastic gems around it so it would look like a brooch.

They also came inside Rings and Bracelets! Those were the little ones. We loved those so much!

Remember how Lucky Locket Kiddles had what was called a "locket" with a back piece that slid over and inside your blouse neckline, etc. You also had the option of pulling a plastic piece down from behind which acted as a "stand" so you could "display" your Kiddle Collection. These also came with chains so you could simply wear them as a necklace instead of a pin.

Then they had a Soda Pop Collection of Kiddles. Each had a name representing a flavor, with matching colors in their outfits. The Kiddles were inside the plastic bottles which were shaped like soda pop bottles.

They also had Perfume Kiddles. They stood inside a plastic "bottle" and had different "scents." Their hair really DID smell like the scents: Gardenia, Violet, Rose, Orange Blossom, Sweet Pea, etc. Their hair was close to the "color" of the flowers. And the bottles opened in half.

There are websites solely for Kiddle Collectors. It is FASCINATING to look at the websites! Just type Kiddles or Kiddle Dolls etc into your browser and there are even photos!

We used to love Kiddles! The fact that you could actually wear a tiny doll inside a "ring", brooch, necklace or bracelet was so wonderful!

We loved to play with our grandmother's jewelry and were fascinated by our neighbor when we were toddlers and kids. She sold Avon and had a table off of her kitchen area that was round and curved into part of her den, against the wall. It had an odd shape to it which we loved because it was like the furniture on The Jetsons! 😂

She'd pack her orders together there and on a cupboard around the corner in her den. There was sample lipsticks she'd let us have, the small perfume samples, and we loved to look at the jewelry!

She'd wear it to "sell it", too. It was the norm to see her with two entirely different earrings on each ear! Also tons of necklaces and rings and pins.

I had a big thick book given to me as a gift from a friend that had every Kiddle in it listed, with all the information and photos. A co-worker/friend of my sis, asked to borrow it. After awhile my sister asked her about it. The co-worker/friend was very honest. But she misplaced it or someone tossed it because she said: "I gave that back to you." My sis said "Nooooo? I never got it back?" The woman said "I remember giving it back?" We looked everywhere and yet we knew she had not given it back. She thought she did. But nope.

Remember those necklaces on a stretchy string that had those Sweet-Tart like candies strung on them that you could wear but also of course...EAT!

Ahhhh...those days!

Now the Kiddles! I found a list of them! Lots of lists! Of all the different ones! And this isn't even all the different types they had!

Here comes the Kiddle Count! 🤣

You don't have to read it! I just find it interesting! 🌸

They had Kiddles that came inside a box which when set up was a backdrop of what each Kiddle's "Theme" was.

Little Kiddles which were Flowers and Hearts Jewelry:

Liddle Kiddles Flower and Heart Jewelry Dolls 1968-1970

The Jewelry Kiddle's are the tiniest of all, a mere 7/8" - 1 1/16" tall, they came in a plastic jeweled case as a
heart or flower; pin-on brooch, ring or chain bracelet.

Each doll was uniquely made with a particular hair color,
costume and jewel case.

"Real Jewelry, Real Dolls" the packaging exclaimed, these could be worn by pinning it on, the ring of course goes on a child's finger or a chain bracelet for their wrist. What could be more delightful for a child to be decorated by their favorite thing "dolls" so now they can change costumes, comb their hair, wear them and take the dolls anywhere.

My sis and I still have our jewelry boxes from way back then! Mine played: "Fascination" and hers played "Around the World in Eighty Days." Or it might have been the other way around. Hers may have played "Fascination" and mine the other.

. In about the sixth grade (in the early 60's I believe it was), my now deceased mother began selling Sarah Coventry Jewelry. I can't tell you how many home parties I went to. So I lovingly tease that it's her fault for my love of jewelry. Bangles are my favorite jewelry item.

@cc2020 I discovered Sarah Coventry jewelry in the mid 70s and actually became a sales person. That lasted less than a year, after cycling thru all my friends and their friends! I still have every piece I ever kept for myself. I adored the annual crosses, collectors items. Skip way ahead to about 3 years now that I finally got cable TV and discovered the shopping channels! I sometimes regret this as I have become dangerously addicted! Seems I enjoy buying it more than wearing it!

@Catticus Wow! Clearly you also have a love of retro toys - that's awesome! I wish I had saved all of my Liddle Kiddle jewelry dolls; I only have the two pieces.
