People who grew up in Kenya in the 80s and early 90s will arguably say those were the happiest childhood memories of any generation in Kenya. Although under a seemingly dictatorial regime of president Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, life in Kenya was simple and punctuated with certain routines that cannot be said of modern-day Kenya.
With the relaunch of Tree Top in June, we has compiled a list of other items that children of 80s and 90s would perhaps remember with a lot of nostalgia.
Reading books was not work! It was such a pleasure, with books like Hallo Children, The Moses Series, Peter and Jane, Hardy Boys, Mwalimu Jini with his sharp-pointed shoes, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Ladybird series, Alladin and The Lion and The Witch, among others.

Hello Children, this is Mr & Mrs Kamau’s family!
But it was TV that brought the family together in the evening after a long day with drama series like Tahamaki, and the legendary Nguatah Francis telling tomorrow’s weather through stickers! A comprehensive review of the news every weekend Dunia Wiki Hii and programmes like ‘Omo Pick A Box’ were a delight to watch hosted by the late Reginah Mutoko. Time for some sport, and you had 'Football Made in Germany!

Time to make a call? Oh well, one would go to the phone booth with pockets full of coins. But life was easy, if you didn’t have any money on you, just talk to the operator and they will reverse call for you!

Transport was an orderly affair with the Kenya Buses that were readily available at bus stops with a specific time table. Perhaps someone would love to see parking meters return and say goodbye the county council officers!

Radio was a great company at home, especially on Saturdays and Sundays - and every morning while going to school there was this song Kinky Farmer that would encourage everyone to take up their role in the society - students would be asked to study and look into the future.

And, Mr Reddy Killowatt here! He was the lovable Kenya Power mascot who made blackout announcements less annoying.

What about that camera man who used to take family photos? The delayed gratification the photos brought once the camera man returned with a bundle of them and their negatives! Then there were games like kati, shake and hopscotch.
How about time for a Fanta?

Or some school milk? It was pure joy to see the milk lorry drive in to the school compound!

Confectionery: What of goodygoody - the brilliantly named toffee that got stuck in your teeth - coo and tropical?

The name of this sweets! Coo.
There was that constant face you saw everywhere. The photo of the president almost hang on every wall.
