The Toy Ball, oldie but a goodie
Today, at long last, the
TOY BALL has taken its rightful spot in the
National Toy Hall of Fame. The ball bounces its way into the its spot at the Rochester, NY “National Museum of Play” alongside other popular playthings like
Crayola Crayons (created in 1900 by makers of red barn-paint), the
Yo-Yo (early Chinese, but made a craze by Donald Duncan), and
Candy Land (invented by polio victim Eleanor Abbot to entertain kids who were recuperating). I have fond memories of Silly-Putty. What’s your favorite toy of all-time?
