Toy News

Here's some fodder for talking to that other person in line at the checkout counter at Toys R Us...

Lincoln Logs were invented by Frank Lloyd Wrights son. The average kid colors 30 minutes per day. He/She also wears out about 750 crayons by the age of 10. Mr. Potato Head is not from Idaho as is commonly thought. He grew up in Oregon and only moved to Idaho when his dad had to move for a job transfer. Barbie is the same age as me. Midge colors her hair. Nobody has seen Ken for years. The 3-D ViewMaster was used to train troops during WWII. Tickle Me Elmo was the most popular toy of the 90's. Last year he starred in the Survivor WanaWattoo series. He was the first contestant voted off.
