Toys

Classic Jersey-born toys on display at immersive State Museum exhibit.

Our goal this month is to make the holiday season a little brighter for a local child in need. We've joined forces with the U.S. Marine Corps to collect new, unwrapped toys to be distributed through the Toys for Tots program, and there are plenty of donation locations in your area!

Meet Charlie and baby Laura.  Charlie has his own Facebook page and YouTube Channel, by the way...  Anyway, Charlie has a bad habit of stealing Laura's toys...  But he has a great way of making it up to her!

Andre Cassagnes, the man responsible for inventing the Etch A Sketch, a toy that inspired countless children ever since it was introduced in 1960, has died at age 86 in France.

You can always spot a parent around the holiday season. Their hair is a frazzled mesh of cow licks and stray strands as if it’s been pulled by a crowd of frantic people. Their eyes dart around in all directions desperately seeking something that could suddenly appear at a moment’s notice. They break down and cry during commercials that advertise “the hottest toy of the holiday season.”
