What are you favourite toys of all time?

This year it's been decided that the game bingo, the cuddly toy Care Bears, The Pokémon Trading Card Game, and playground equipment the slide should get a spot in the National Toy Hall of Fame in the US.

The contest is run by The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, with copies of the four chosen toys now on display there.

Let us know in the comments which toys would you choose as your favourites and why.

Set up in 1998, the Strong museum's Hall of Fame recognises toys that have inspired creative play and enjoyed popularity over a long period of time.

The toys are nominated by the public, with historians, educators, and other experts making the final decision on which toys should be included each year.

So what has made these four, the winning entries?

Have you played bingo before? In case you don't know the rules, here's a reminder: each player tries to match the numbers called out with those printed on their card, and if they manage to tick off a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, they call out "Bingo". If they complete a line first and call it out it makes them the winner.

Curator Mirek Stolee said that while it's related to an almost 500 year old game and is "often associated with an older audience, it has become increasingly popular with young adults".

Soft and sweet, cute and cuddly, Care Bears have been around since the early 1980s. Over the years the brand has grown to include more than 100 bears, and the bears have been featured in storybooks, TV shows, movies, games, toys, and decorations.

Chief Curator at the museum Michelle Parnett-Dwyer has spoken about Care Bears' "enduring popularity and its nimbleness in making new friends even in the electronic world", adding: "Of course, most fans, regardless of age, can always use a Care Bear hug."

The Pokémon Trading Card Game was introduced in 1996, with billions of cards having been produced since then for fans of all ages, all over the world.

Curator Mirek Stolee has that, "Pokémon TCG's widespread appeal and global presence are undeniable."

A playground favourite, slides have been around since the early 1900s, and are not only super fun - but also help children develop motor skills, encourage exploration, and promote risky play.

Jeremy Saucier, Vice President for Collections at the museum said: "People of all ages remember fondly the simple, satisfying, and energising experience of racing down a slide."

This year's winners were selected from 12 finalists.
