RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. It's down to 12. The National Toy Hall of Fame has announced a list of a dozen finalists to be inducted into its hallowed registry. The list captures a wide range.

An official with the Strong National Museum of Play said the finalists all inspire learning and creativity. Not sure about you, but I'm pulling for the top.
