Ranking The Top Ten Greatest Toys of All Time by Julian Nowlin

People seem to like these, so it’s my turn to write one. Each item includes one pro and one con. Nobody has done toys yet, so I decided to do it. 

10. Pop It and other fidgets. They’re good when you’re sick or tired, but other than that they aren’t that good.

9. Plastic Dinosaurs. Any boy who said he didn’t like these when he was little is lying. You can do so much, and I have always loved them. 

8. High bouncer and bouncy balls. These are awesome toys because they, like the name says, bounce very high. It would’ve been in the top five if they weren’t easy to lose.

7. Wiffle Ball. A great summer afternoon is amazing with these for 45 minutes. Then it goes into arguing. The reason it’s higher than bouncy balls is because those precious 45 minutes are some of the best of the summer.

6. Foosball. It’s pure awesomeness. It only takes about ten minutes and is a good way to play soccer without actually exercising, but the games are usually lopsided.

5. Coloring and Puzzle books. They are very fun and good when you don’t have any screen time left. My only complaint is that you can only use things that aren’t erasable, so if you make a mistake you have to quit or mess up the page.

4. Sand toys. If you go to the beach and the waves are bad in the ocean, these are a lifesaver. They’re also very fun, but you can only do so much with them.

3. RC toys. They are fun to drive around and scaring your pets is fun. Controls are limited though. 

2. LEGO Sets. They are relaxing and fun to build, and ones with play features are fun even after they are built. Putting on stickers stinks though, and they are expensive.

1. Stuffies. Fuzzy, cute, helps you sleep, collectible, soft, special, they have all the traits of a perfect toy.
