The National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, N.Y., announced this year's finalists for induction, including balloons, Pokemon cards and Transformers.

The 2024 finalists for the Strong Museum’s Toy Hall of Fame were revealed Wednesday morning. 12 finalists were revealed, but not all of them will be inducted. Usually, three of them go through, but last year’s was a special case.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — The National Toy Hall of Fame is floating the idea of inducting balloons. Praised for their versatility and universal appeal, balloons made the list Wednesday of 12 finalists being considered for the honor later this year, alongside other first-time contenders including the trampoline and the party game Apples to Apples.
