IT'S TIME TO NOMINATE YOUR FAVORITE TOY

What's your favorite toy from your childhood? The National Toy Hall Of Fame in New York announed this year's nominees. They include:

  • Battleship
  • Spinning Top
  • Jenga
  • Playmobile Figures
  • Wiffle Ball
  • Twister
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • American Girl Dolls
  • Super Soaker Water Guns

PREVIOUS WINNERS

There are some less obvious choices that have also been nominated.  Coloring books, the scooter, and puppets. No specific kind of puppets...just "puppets." Two toys from the list will be voted in on November 5th by a panel of toy experts, inventors and historians. Last year, the inductees were green army men, the Rubik's Cube, and bubbles.

Some of my favorite inductees in the past that I think deserve the honor:

  • Alphabet blocks 2003
  • Atari Gaming System 2007
  • Baby Doll 2008
  • Ball 2009
  • Barbie 1998
  • Bicycle 2000
  • Big Wheel 2009
  • Hotwheels 2011
  • Lincoln Logs 1999
  • Monopoly 1998
  • Legos 1998

Some things that made the list, that were never really meant to be toys included a blanket, inducted in 2011 and the cardboard box in 2005.
