What was that toy called? Woodsies?
I was born in '85 and I have a brother who is a few years older, so I'm not sure if the toys I'm thinking about were older than '85, because they might have belonged to my brother, but I don't think they are. I remember playing with them from the time that I was about 4 years old, so I'm pretty sure they were manufactured in the 80's. My mom called them Woodsies, and that's what I always thought they were called...but now that I've got my own kid and started thinking about them, I looked up Woodsies, and that's not what they were! I guess Woodsies were sort of like finger puppets, made by Fischer-Price - a family of squirels that lived in a cloth log. What I'm thinking of are woodland animals, but they're much more detailed than the Woodsies...there were beavers and bears and bunnies...2-4 inches tall...the legs and arms and head could move...they were made out of a plastic-y, rubbery material, and they were covered in a very fine, short, fuzzy fur. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
