Back in December I wrote a post on the top 100 gadgets of all time (1932 - present). It was a great piece and brought back a lot of memories of my childhood. Well Time Magazine is back at it, providing a list of the top 100 most influential toys since 1932. Once again, the list is not a "Top 100" ranking. It is more of a list of 100 top toys broken into decades. Allie Townsend does a great job providing a description of each toy. Can you find any of your favorites? Anything missing? What do you disagree with? I think a "glow stick" is kind of a lame "toy." The items from the 1970's and 1980's sure do bring back a lot of memories for me. It is also interesting to see what is still around from the past. I was just in Target today and I noticed a lot of "classic" toys back for today's youth.
I am working on a title for my March read of the month, hope to find one in the next few days. Enjoy the snow!

Wow, that's serious nostalgia. I think I played with every toy in the 1980s list, either at my own house or at friends'.
