“Millennial moms and dads who are expecting their first child have plans to keep Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and Sesame Street on as background noise in their nursery,” according to CafeMom.



“Others are introducing their big kids to slightly more advanced entertainment like Star Wars (which of course debuted in the late ’70s but stretched into the early ’80s and ’90s) and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.”

Some of the toys in the report include: Cabbage Patch Dolls, My Little Pony, He-Man and many more. There are plenty of action figures and dolls from the 80s that any kid born today would absolutely love. These toys had a cool-factor that is well beyond many of the toys we see today.
