Skateboard Makes Toy Hall Of Fame

by The Editors on November 6, 2008

SkateboardDon’t really know how to take this one. On the one hand the skateboard is obviously not a “toy,” yet, it seems if the Strong National Museum of Play is handing out honors for stuff kids use, the skateboard should have been inducted years ago. This year it’s in with the “baby doll” and “the stick.” The stick? Wow.

The three toys beat out the board games Clue, Yahtzee and the Game of Life, the dollhouse, the Flexible Flyer sled, Hot Wheels, Magic 8 Ball, Rubik’s Cube, Thomas the Tank Engine and the whiffle ball.

Guess that makes it all okay.
