How are Little Golden Books considered toys?

Tinker Toys.
I loved them so much, I bought some for my daughter (although I have played with them more than she has)

Weebles.
I had the Sesame Street set.

Would Rubic's cube count as a toy?

If it's games, the number one game of ALL TIME would be Magic the Gathering!

Nothing even comes close to it.

Also Sports equipment shouldn't count as toys. So Bikes, Balls, Gloves, Rollerblades, Skates, Hockey Sticks, Bats didn't count in my books or they all would top my list... behind Lego.

Same with Video Games.

I hated the Etch a Sketch, no artistic ability and everything looked like Atari graphics.
