OK, I gotta ask... If pots and pans made the list, where's "pointy stick"?

[normiss 622]

Never had toddlers eh?

[piisfish 135]

Skymama you need to grow up. FlexiFelix is THE toy

scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

[normiss 622]

That's like one of these!

Should have set your poll for multiple choices then.

I'd go with the green soldiers and the rubik's cube. But still some other good choices...

Little green army men...

So many uses and games you can play with those...including adding some gasoline and fireworks if your parents aren't home

Me bad

I chose a favorite toy that only 1% of the other respondent's chose.

One Jump Wonder

PLEASE!!. You don't even have the best toy ever listed. A card board box.

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

Flammable liquids did seem to greatly enhance the level of enjoyment while playing with "army men" - as did your small to mid-level firecrackers, I always thought that the smell of burning liquids and gun powder created a sense of realism.

On an average day, we used rubber bands.

I would certainly add Hot Wheels as an honorable mention.

I looked in the hall of fame - its already there!

How about a sheet and some chairs to make a secret tent?

Maybe there's an X-box game to do that now...

Oh yeah, the kind you got when your parents got a new fridge. A fort, a castle, a pirate ship.

My friends and I must have folded and flown a zillion paper airplanes when I was a kid. I loved things that flew long before I jumped out of them. Of course, our toys included kites, wind up balsa planes, and later, real model airplanes, rockets, etc. Ahh, the joys of childhood.

When we moved when I was 5, they packed the appliances into wooden crates. We got to keep one for a clubhouse. Truisms when I say it's cooler than a cardboard box (but not always as cool as getting to turn the kitchen chairs upside down with a sheet over them)

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

The best toy ever was the tennis-ball cannons we used to make, until someone wised up and started making the containers out of plastic.

How many of you remember the original Mr. Potato Head ? My mom's biggest peeve was finding rotting vegetables in the toybox.

No Lego?

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

[jimmytavino 16]

I do NOT see "PARACHUTE" on the list...

My most favorite TOY has always been my parachute

Green Army Men and "Red Rats". Basically ground bottle rockets without sticks! Cardboard boxes were used to have your friends roll you downhill in, like being tumbled dry.

But you can't go "card boardin' " in a wooden crate. For those of you childin's that ain't done it. Card boardin is like sledding only on grass in a piece of the fridge box after you've used it for all the other things you can think of.

Sorry Your Hotness,

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Looks like Legos were inducted the 1st year 1998, as they should have been.

The stick was inducted in 2008, the blanket in 2011, and the cardboard box in 2005.

It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

We spent hours in the woods with these. Amazing I still have my eyesight.

Hint: As you got older you realized the real good ammo was a can of marbles.
