Last month, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis visitors “tested” and “played” with 30 different toys and chose their top 10. The 30 toys selected for testing are chosen based on ages. Some are just plain fun, but some have an educational component and many are very interactive. 

The votes have been tallied and Jere Krueger, Associate Vice President of Retail at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, introduces the Top Ten Toys for 2018!
1.    Crayon Melter – Put those abandon crayons to use with the Crayola Crayon Melter! It brings renewed life to crayon sets everywhere with melted crayon artwork that’s easier than ever before to create. 

2.    HexBug Ring Racer – Design your own cylindrical robot! The HexBug Ring Racer comes with two skinny wheels connected to an electric motor in the middle. Great for any child eager to see their imagination come to life!  

3.    HexBug Gladiators Stadium – Customize the HexBug Gladiator for the epic duels in the HexBug Gladiators Battling Robots Stadium. 

4.    Dr. Cool Velociraptor Wildlife Wow – Download the app and watch the dinosaur come to life through a virtual reality experience.
