The young visitors were allowed to play with 38 different toys and choose their favorites as part of the 19th annual "Kid-Tested, Kid-Approved" event.
The number one pick was Stikball with Mitts, which features a small baseball with a sticky surface, allowing kids to play catch indoors or outdoors. All of the toys are available at the store inside The Children’s Museum.
"Our award-winning store offers a wide variety of toys that are both educational and fun that will also inspire children at various developmental stages," said Jeffrey Patchen, chief executive officer of The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. "The fact that children are the ones who play with and select these toys helps grandparents, moms, dads, aunts and uncles select toys they know that other children the same age already love taking the stress off shopping."
The top 10 toys are:
- Stikball with Mitts – Let’s play some indoor or outdoor catch! It’s fun and easy because Stikball has a sticky surface and moldable core that "Splats" and sticks to any flat surface-like the two stickball mitts included!
- Stikbot – Studio Bring your Imagination to life with Stikbot Studio! Pose the characters in impossibly fun situations with the attached suction cups on their hands and feet. Snap a photo and use the special phone app to add effects for truly unique creations!
