Cardboard Box In National Toy Hall Of Fame!
Wednesday November 16, 2005
Yes, it's true! An ordinary, run of the mill cardboard box has made it into the National Toy Hall Of Fame at the Strong Museum at Rochester, NY.
According to the National Toy Hall Of Fame, "Children rapidly sense the possibilities inherent in cardboard boxes, recycling them into innumerable playthings. The strength, light weight, and low cost that make cardboard boxes successful with industry have made them endlessly adaptable by children for creative play".
The Toy Hall recommends the big sized cardboard boxes like the ones that your fridge or dishwasher came in, rather than the smaller shoe boxes for your child. I have to agree with the principle behind this rather unexpected inductee into the National Toy Hall Of Fame!
Till date, there have been 34 toys inducted into the National Toy Hall Of Fame.
The toys inducted in alphabetical order are: Alphabet Blocks, Barbie®, Bicycle, Candy Land®, Cardboard Box, Checkers, Crayola® Crayons, Duncan® Yo-Yo, Erector® Set, Etch A Sketch®, Frisbee®, G.I. Joe™, Hula Hoop®, Jack in the Box, Jacks, Jigsaw Puzzle, Jump Rope, LEGO®, Lincoln Logs®, Marbles, Monopoly®, Mr. Potato Head®, Play-Doh®, Radio Flyer® Wagon, Raggedy Ann™, Rocking Horse, Roller Skates, SCRABBLE®, Silly Putty®, Slinky®, Teddy Bear, Tinkertoy®, Tonka® Trucks, and View-Master®.
