Grew up on a farm mostly as well, and my great grandfather gave me his .22 for my 12th birthday, it's still a great gun, about 100 years old, semi-auto, great for partridge.
I really enjoyed the chemistry set though, the instructions said NOT to mix two particular chemicals together, so I did. No explosions, but it did make a helluva mess!
Hot Wheels and model airplanes were my other favourites.
