Stick Joins Cardboard Box in the Toy Hall of Fame | Literacy & Books

The stick along with skateboard and baby doll were chosen for this year's entries into the Strong National Toy Hall of Fame.

"It's very open ended, all natural, the perfect price -- there aren't any rules or instructions for it's use" said Christopher Bensch, the museum's curator of collections. The stick joins 2005 inductee, the cardboard box, as an open ended and accessible play thing.



Celebrate the stick and the cardboard box with your little ones with two inspiring books that celebrate the power of imagination: Not a Stick and Not a Box by Antoinette Portis.
