The teddy bear is named after U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. In 1902, President Roosevelt participated in a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi. While hunting, Roosevelt declared the behavior of the other hunters "unsportsmanlike" after he refused to kill a bear they had captured. As news of the hunting trip spread, many newspapers around the country featured political cartoons starring "Teddy" and "The Bear." Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, New York, a shop owner named Morris Michtom saw one of the cartoons and had an idea. Michtom and his wife created plush, stuffed bears and placed them in the front window of their shop. With permission from Roosevelt, Michtom named the bears "Teddy bears."

The yo-yo is considered the second oldest toy in history, the oldest being the doll. In ancient Greece, the toy was made of wood, metal and terra cotta. The Greeks decorated the two halves of the yo-yo with pictures of their gods. As a right of passage into adulthood Greek children often gave up their toys and placed them on the family altar to pay homage. Around 1800, the yo-yo moved into Europe from the Orient. The British called the yo-yo the bandalore, quiz, or the Prince of Wales toy. The French used the name incroyable or l'emigrette. However, it is a Tagalog word, the native language of the Philippines, and means "come back." In the Philippines, the yo-yo was used as a weapon for over 400 hundred years. Their version was large with sharp edges and studs and attached to thick twenty-foot ropes for flinging at enemies or prey.

In his home laboratory in Philadelphia, James attempted to invent springs that would support and stabilize sensitive instruments on naval ships during rough seas. One spring was knocked off the worktable and stepped its way down to the floor. After James watched it re-coil itself and stand upright on the floor, a light bulb went off in his brain. James showed the stepping spring to his wife, Betty, and said he could make a children’s toy out of it. Betty came up with the name “Slinky” and the couple first demonstrated its toy at Gimbels Department Store in 1945. In just 90 minutes, they sold 400 Slinkys.

The toy's popularity resulted in further members of the Potato Head family being introduced, as well as the character's appearance in films such as the Toy Story franchise, Burger King advertisements, and children's television shows.

Play-Doh has been a classic children’s toy for so many generations that it’s hard to imagine it was invented to be anything other than a fun, squishable way for kids to show off their creativity. But it turns out it was a wallpaper cleaner, first. When they learned that executives at Kroger grocery stores were looking for a new wallpaper cleaning product to help people remove the soot their coal-burning furnaces left on their walls, the McVicker brothers invented an early version of the now-famous kid’s toy.

It’s hard to believe, but between the 1940s and ’70s pinball was actually banned in NYC, as well as other major cities like Chicago and Los Angeles, for its questionable ethics. While most of us consider the arcade game a wholesome activity, its first iteration was without the flippers and considered a form of gambling. From city raids to seedy backdoor operations, pinball prohibition lasted for more than 30 years, and efforts to get the beloved game legalized were equally dramatic. Flippers weren’t invented until 1947, 16 years after coin-operated machines were first popularized and five years after the game had been banned. Sans flippers, players had to resort to bumping or pushing the game in order to change the trajectory of the pinball. With little skill needed to play, lawmakers considered it to be a game of luck and very similar to gambling. Many of these government officials, one of them being New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, believed pinball to be a mafia-run racket.
