From creative construction toys and innovative collectibles to lovable plush and toys for grown-ups, the 2022 Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards finalists are sure to be topping wish lists this holiday season.

This year's TOTY finalists were selected from 623 nominees submitted in 16 different categories.

They considered each product's creativity, design, and play value.
Winners will be announced at The Toy Foundation's TOTY Awards gala on Friday, February 18, 2022.
