Still have your collection of troll dolls decorating your desk? Do you secretly play with your Lite Brite late at night? Or do you find yourself new and creative ways to put Mr. Potatohead back together? If you said yes to any of these things, it\u2019s time to you pack those toys away for long-term storage. Here are a few toys to help get you started:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pushing this toy around looks adorable if you\u2019re three, but less so if you\u2019re thirty-three. You may want to keep this golden-oldie of a toy around for your children or grandchildren to play with, but until then, store it in your CubeSmart unit.

  2. As last year\u2019s hit song<\/a> said, \u201ccows go moo, frogs go croak, and elephants go toot\u201d but this classic toy didn\u2019t really tell us what a fox says. In light of recent developments, you may want to retire this outdated tool and look for an updated toy \u2013 complete with all the noises animals make – instead.\"oldImage via Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. A Barrel of Monkeys may have been a barrel fun when you were a child, but with tablets, video games, and the enchanting world wide web, the idea of fun had reached entirely new levels. If you\u2019ve been disenchanted by this old-school game, keep it in your storage unit for a really, really rainy day.

  4. If you are over the age of 12 and are still using this vintage toy to bake snacks and treats, you\u2019re ready to upgrade your culinary talents. Store this delightful invention into your CubeSmart unit and head to the nearest bookstore to try recipes you can bake in a real oven.

  5. Have any of these items lying around? Unless you are a Bronie, you may want to store for safe-keeping.

  6. This was reel fun back in the day, but chances are you\u2019ll never play with one of these again. Don\u2019t toss it though; someone might pay big bucks for one someday. Until then, tuck it away in your storage unit.

  7. With the advent of tablets, sketching up doodles seems a bit archaic on this classic toy. Plus, your drawings aren\u2019t so easy to erase on a tablet. Sketch one last drawing before packing it away. You never know, your image could be in a museum someday. Although some of the Jeff Gagliardi designs featured below are more likely to make the cut.\"old

  8. Chatty Cathy may have been talkative when you first got her in the 1960s, but listening to her ask for a cookie \u2013 and 6 other phrases! – for the past 54 years has got to be tiring. It\u2019s about time she took a very long nap \u2013 in your storage unit.\"oldImage via Rubylane<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Unless you were gifted with pogo-playing skills when this toy hit the markets in the \u201880s, this toy was the source of much frustration. Get your satisfaction \u2013 albeit 30 years too late \u2013 by banishing it to the back recesses of your CubeSmart cube.\"oldImage via Newegg<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Haunted by this skipping toy growing up? By storing this gem in your unit, the kids in your neighborhood can no longer judge you on your low skipping score.\"oldImage via Kaboodle<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. Still sleeping with this smiling critter and his friends each night? Give him a good rinse, let him dry, and put him away for a long night. If you still miss him a few weeks later, he\u2019ll be safe and sound in your CubeSmart cube right where you left him.\"oldImage via Like Totally 80s<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. The Red Rocker and Blue Bomber have been battling for decades. Give \u2018em a well-deserved rest.

  13. Believe it or not, this classic toy has been around since colonial America. While you may still enjoy toying around with paddle ball, we\u2019re sure anyone in your vicinity isn\u2019t, especially if you missed the ball once or twice. Put the paddle down and pick up something else instead.
