2025 Toy Hall of Fame Nominees

It’s time to pick your favorite toys!

The Strong National Museum of Play has announced its 2025 finalists for the Toy Hall of Fame, The 12 nominees include:

• Battleship
• Catan
• Connected Four
• Cornhole
• Furby
• Scooter
• Slime
• Snow
• Spirograph
• Star Wars Light Saber
• Tickle Me Elmo
• Trivial Pursuit

 You can vote online for your favorites until September 24th. The three with the greatest number of votes will make up a “Player’s Choice” ballot and will be counted alongside 22 other ballots from a panel of historians, educators and experts.

My favorites would be: Furby (because I loved mine), Cornhole (because I’ve never had a bad time playing in the backyard), and the Spirograph (I haven’t played with one in years but I would love to again!).

The winners will be announced in November by The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
