                                         Toy Hall of Fame

                 The Toy Hall of Fame is when the public vote on what toys have survived the many generations. This was established in 1998. Anyone can nominate any toy in the world. It does not matter when the toy was originally made.As of today 59 toys have been inducted in to the Toy Hall of Fame. This year 12 toys have been nominated. Five of those toys that are my favorite are CareBears, Clue, Coloring Book, and Swing.

               My reaction to the Toy Hall of Fame was shocked because I did not know that this existed. But also it was kind of cool the look through other toys that have been put in to the Toy Hall of Fame. I think they could market this by putting more information about this on social media because it is really interesting.
