   I had a need toy that was called the Playmobile. it came out in the early sixties, it was a car dashboard and used batteries, it made engine sounds and the signal worked, etc. It was cool

   Play-doh and the Slinky are also toys from the sixties as are matchbox cars and Hot wheels (Hot wheels were late 60′s and probably more popular in the 70′s)

   The Hula hoop was from the 50′s but remained popular in the 60′s. I had a Viewmaster which was cool and the Ouija Board came out in 64 or 65 and Clue came a bit before that.

   Here are some helpful sites for you too.
