THE WINNERS: Baseball cards, Cabbage Patch Kids and NERF were this year’s chosen inductees to the National Toy Hall of Fame, but a fourth toy has joined them.

Chosen by popular vote from a group of “Forgotten Five” finalists, was the Fisher-Price Corn Popper.

All four toys have been enshrined and are on view at The Strong National Museum of Play, in Rochester, N.Y., home to the National Toy Hall of Fame.

“These four deserving inductees represent a great blend of types of play for people of all ages,” said Christopher Bensch, vice president for collections and chief curator. “Baseball cards encourage lifelong playing and collection. Cabbage Patch Kids continue to encourage imagination and storytelling for kids. Fisher-Price Corn Popper, which is a forgotten finalist no longer, is a great activity for toddlers. NERF toys are designed for indoor and outdoor activity, and they often find kids and grownups playing together. This is an excellent class to honor the 25th anniversary of the National Toy Hall of Fame.”

According to The Strong, inventor Arthur Holt sold his Corn Popper design to Fisher-Price in 1957. With its plastic dome filled with gumball-sized balls, the Corn Popper has motivated millions of children to navigate their first steps. Through the pushing action, kids strengthen gross motor skills, while the “poppity-pop” sound of the balls stimulates the senses. Through the decades, the Corn Popper has proven affordable, durable, and fun.

The others were My Little Pony, the pogo stick, PEZ and Transformers. It seems like all of them should be enshrined.

Since 1955, more than 1,400 different character heads have graced the top of the PEZ dispenser, the first of which was the Halloween witch. Popeye was the first licensed character.
