Rubber Ducks Nominated for the National Toy Hall of Fame
July 13, 2011
I just found out that there is a
National Museum
of Play in Rochester NY. It looks like a fabulous place:
And as if that's not cool enough, inside the museum is the National Toy
Hall of Fame. Awesome! I didn't know such a thing existed. There are
currently 46 toys that have been officially inducted into the hall of
fame. You can see them
here.
The list is lovely to look at. Many great toys of the past are there and
seeing them is quite nostalgic. Play doh, monopoly, big wheels, crayola
crayons, ... It's lovely. But, I was sad, surprised, and shocked to find
out that rubber ducks are not in the hall
of fame! I can not believe that such an iconic toy hasn't been
inducted.
There is good news however. We have time to make a
difference. You can nominate your favorite
bathtime friend. The nominations for 2010 are complete, but the
nominations for 2011 are still open. We have until July 29th to put in
the nomination.
