The Class of 2026 National Toy Hall of Fame finalists have been announced, and there are some serious throwback contenders in the mix!
Since 1998, the Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong has recognized toys that inspire creative play and have stood the test of time. Each year, new toys are inducted and added to the Hall’s collection alongside historic versions of some of our favorite childhood classics.
This year’s finalists include Bingo, Bop It!, Care Bears, Mahjong, Monster High dolls, Mouse Trap, Pokémon Trading Cards, Polly Pocket, Slide, Sorry!, Tickle Me Elmo, and Yahtzee.
Voting is now open, so you can help decide which toys make the cut! The 2026 inductees will be announced in November.
