Classic Toys Inducted into Toy Hall of Fame

Hot Wheels, the Dollhouse, and the humble blanket were welcomed into the National Toy Hall of Fame yesterday, bringing the total number of toys honored to 49.

In our house, we have loads of Hot Wheels.  They're everywhere, but the boys love them.  Connor doesn't go anywhere without his blankie.  It's often used as a cape.  The boys have also recently learned the fun of using blankets to build hideouts in the living room. 

The National Toy Hall of Fame, located in Rochester, NY, selected the three from a strong list of finalists.  Among the toys that didn't make it this year are the Rubik's Cube, Twister, Star Wars Action Figures, and the Pogo Stick.  The blanket is recognized in a special category: Toys of Imagination.

Sounds like a fun place to visit.
