The National Toy Hall of Fame is located inside The Strong, which is located in New York. The Strong has one of the largest and most comprehensive collection of historical materials related to play. The Strong also has the International Center for the History of Electronic Games and the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Currently, there are twelve different toy finalist competing to be one of the two or three toys that will take place in the hall this year. The top five finalist are;
1. Bubble Wrap
2. Care Bears
3. Clue
4. Coloring Books
5. Dungeons and Dragons
My personal reaction to the top five toys is that they are all things that have already been around for a long time. I found it funny that bubble wrap is one of the top five toys because it used for packaging and it doesn't seem that safe for kids to be playing with. I also think that the Care Bears and Clue will end up in the top two or three because they've been around for a while and they have always been loved. It is smart for these toys to get involved in the Toy Hall of Fame because it will help them sell more of them and make more money.
