in the 70s, Toys of the Seventies

Comments left:	Kimberly and Therese, the daisy-shaped disks that you could construct into different objects were called Deely Boppers. My parents brought a bag from San Francisco around 1970, and brought home 2 more the next year when they saw how much fun I had with them (I'm a guy, so I made them into cars and helicopters). They came as your remembered, in a flowered-pattern colorful cloth bag with draw-string closure. They look similar, and perhaps are similar in function, to the toy that Tab mentioned called Modular Daisies. Apparently Deely Boppers were only made between the years 1969 and 1973, and the name trademark must have been lost; in the 1980's the person who made the headbands with antenna on them used that name for his invention/patent. I have looked online recently because I wanted to buy a bag (thus I came upon your comments), but I haven't found any available. If you go to this website http://beechworthtoylibrary.com you can see a picture of the Modular Daisies. I have yet to find a picture of Deely Boppers. I still have hopes I have a bag stashed in storage; if I find them, I will post a picture.
