Tim finds some toys in a cupboard that he hasn't used for 25 years!

SPINNER is a beach toy, with two plastic blade like items, and a diablo kind of object that you spin between two players.

Tim then produces a biro that is about 3 feet long. Good for writing in long hand!

Tim has some turntables which go on the floor, and can take the weight of an adult. Good for party games in the garden!

Then a WIF - a What's It For? A tube with an inflatable section in the middle. In fact it is a lifejacket for a canoe paddle. If a child drops their paddle overboard, it won't sink!

Then a shoulder bag that Tim used to take to picnics and parties. It contains a full sized chair! These are more common today, but this dates from 30 years ago!

Then a glittery streamer on a stick. The key is the universal joint which connect the streamer to the stick, which prevents the streamer getting in a knot.

An ankle spinning toy - put one foot through the plastic hoop, and spin the other end - which is weighted - in circles. You can jump over the plastic strip, and it can be a game for two people. And the toy has a little mechanical rev counter, so you know how many spins you have done.

Finally, a tube. And we all know what Tim keeps in tubes...!
