I mentioned “Colorforms” to some friends at work today…and got nothing but blank stares. Sad. And I’m not that much older than them — one is only 2 years younger, and the other only 4 years younger. How could they have missed out on Colorforms back in the 70s? My favorite - circa 1972 - was the Batman edition.
Wouldn’t you know it? When I read Colorforms, I was thinking COLIFORM. As in bacteria.
Um, go figure?
I loved Colorforms! I had the Mickey Mouse edition.
OK I give up.
What exactly are Colorforms?
Other kids had them……I, sadly, did not. I did, however, have the largest and most prestigous Matchbox and Hot Wheel collection in the neighborhood; including miles upon miles of orange Hot Wheel track to go with the cars………..
The name “colorforms” sounds familar, but I can’t remember what they are…
Hah,
I’m older than you I’m sure and miss them. My first was Miss Weatherbee, somewhere in the 1950’s. My last was a Little House on the Praire set I bought after I was married that was never played with.
Recently had a discussion about too bad they don’t exist anymore for a gift for a 3 year old relative. Just found out that they exist again, and during that search found you. Barnes & Nobels and Amazon apparently are carrying them, among others.
