Favorite Toys - Submit your favorite toy online!

We would like to know if you have a favorite toy. Before sending us your entry, please read the text below. You may gain some perspective about your toy and get ideas to help you write about it.

New materials and technologies have continually affected the evolution of toys. Over the past forty years, toys have changed greatly through the use of plastics. Recently, the introduction of electronics has had an equally great impact.

Today's toys walk, talk, eat, wet, listen and respond to touch and sound. They can even carry on conversations, compete with us, and allow us to play with people around the globe in virtual worlds. Because of these changes, toy makers no longer limit their appeals to children, but direct their products to users of all ages.

While the toy industry has changed dramatically over the years, many toys remain very much the same. Despite new materials and technologies, some old favorites are popular generation after generation. These toys have been friends, companions, and teachers to children of the past. Today's children can enjoy the same benefits from toys.

Whether you are young or old, if you have a favorite toy, we would like to know about it.

Click the button below to send us the name of your favorite toy along with a brief account of why it is your favorite and we will post it on this page for others to read. If you have a photograph of your favorite toy, or even better, a picture of you playing with it, send that along too.
