90's kids programmes

By -
Cartoons and T.v programmes in the 90's ( when i was little ) have changed a lot compared to the children's cartoons today. Looking back at the cartoons i used to watch brings back great memories, many of these shows are not on T.v anymore. For example..


 Johnny bravo
 

An American animated t.v series starring a muscular young man named Johnny bravo who likes to think of himself as a bit of a womanizer. Typical plots involve trying to get a woman that he had targeted to try and fall in love with him. Personally i thought the best bits were at then end when the woman knocked him back in various funny ways.
Premiered on cartoon network on July 7, 1997 and ended August 27, 2004.


Sabrina The Teenage Witch


One of my favorites! I loved watching this programme with all the dramas that came with learning new spells and being a witch in high school. A very fun magical programme.
September 27 , 1996 - April 24, 2003


Sailor Moon


Not to sure how popular this one was but i absolutely LOVED it! I would be up every morning at half 7 waiting for it to come on. Sailor moon, along with the other girls in the the picture above were referred to as "Sailor scouts" or "Guardians"  they protected the world from evil. I was fascinated with their long hair and pretty outfits, everything about the characters and the t.v series in general was pretty. This is a Japanese Production, im unsure as to when it started and finished, but i think it ended around 2003.


The oldest one i can remember watching is Bananas in Pajamas.


The theme tune for the beginning of the show used to give me the creeps. It still does a little bit now. Not sure why. Its an Australian t.v show that premiered 20 July 1992 and from what i understand is still going today.

I think that shows back in the 90's were possibly simpler than today's, maybe more realistic (some) and just generally more interesting than some that i have seen today

History of the spinning top - How does the spinning top work?

By -

I received a lovely letter this morning from the year 1 pupils at Highters Heath Community School in Birmingham, that are currently studying toys from the past. When I opened the letter, it contained many letters mainly asking how a spinning top works, and does the spinning top contain a spring? In an attempt to settle these curious minds, let me tell you a little bit about the history of the spinning top, and then how a spinning top works. The History of the Spinning Top The spinning top has been in existence for thousands of years. Like many traditional toys, such as marbles, the earliest spinning tops are made from clay, and were discovered in the Middle East as early as 3500 BC, although it is likely that children would have been spinning small rocks or acorns long before. Later wooden spinning tops emerged in around 2000 BC, and early spinning tops made from bone have been found in Europe.  These spinning tops would have been much simpler than many tops found in old fashioned

How to Play Farmyard Donkey Card Game

By -

A couple of weeks ago I posted the instructions for the card game Pairs on Wheels . Another popular traditional family card game is Farmyard Donkey. Again, this game is fairly straight forward but a great way to keep children occupied and get them thinking. The card game consists of 17 pairs and the "Donkey Card". Firstly, shuffle the cards then deal them in a clockwise direction to each player. All players then look at their cards and take out all their pairs, the player to the left of the dealer arranges their remaining cards in their hand like a fan. The back of the cards are shown to the player on the left who then picks a card. If this card makes a pair then the cards are put in the middle of the table with the other pairs. If the player isn't able to make a pair then they keep the card and continue the game by offering their cards to the next player. When a player eventually loses all their cards they are 'saved' and stop playing. At the end of the gam

Caps, Cap Bombs, Cap Guns - I loved them all!

Cap guns became popular following World War 2, TV's were being watched all around the UK and companies began to create all different types, styles and colours of cap guns for children. Children all over the world saw their heroes fighting crime and therefore began reenacting their own scenes by collecting these toy guns . Cap guns were always a highlight toy during my childhood; especially for my 8 year old brother and his friends. I remember my siblings and I feeling almost like James Bond with our pretend, smokey gun shots around the house. Pretending to be spies or action heroes...we could play for hours and hours with our cap guns and bombs.   They really are something so simple yet so affective. What a brilliant toy! It's amazing to see them still being sold. They were a classic toy in the 50's, 90's and they seem to be just as popular now! The cap bombs produce a puff of smoke when thrown on the ground (completely harmless!) Similarly with the cap gu
