Paper airplane, sand among 12 finalists for Toy Hall of Fame

AP:
>No-frills toys including the paper airplane, sand and play food are among 12 finalists vying for a place in the National Toy Hall of Fame.
>
>The contenders for the Class of 2017 were announced Tuesday.

>Also up for the honor are the board games Risk and Clue, the Magic 8 ball, Matchbox cars, My Little Pony, the PEZ candy dispenser, Transformers, the card game Uno and Wiffle Ball.

If I could only pick two, I’d say Matchbox Cars and Risk are worthy of the Hall.
