The Lost Challenges discussion

1920s
1. Radio Flyer Red Wagon
Antonio Pasin started building wooden toy wagons in Chicago in 1917, selling them to area shops. He was working as a craftsman at the time, mostly selling phonograph cabinets, and built small wooden wagons to carry around his tools. After he received numerous requests from customers of phonograph cabinets to buy the wagons as well, he refocused his business on the wagons.

🎅 Read a book that is set in Chicago.
🎅 Read a book with either a 1, 9 or 7 in the page count.

The name "Yo-yo" was registered in 1932 as a trademark by Sam Dubiner [he] in Vancouver, Canada, and Harvey Lowe won the first World Yo-Yo Contest in London, England.In 1933 yo-yos were banned in Syria, because many locals superstitiously blamed the use of them for a severe drought.In 1946, the Duncan Toys Company opened a yo-yo factory in Luck, Wisconsin. The Duncan yo-yo was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York, in 1999.

1930's
3. Finger Paint
American teacher Ruth Faison Shaw was in Italy when she developed a system that not only would teach kids about art but could also act as a technique for child therapy, a cause Shaw devoted her life to. Finger painting peaked in the 1930s during the progressive education movement and was widely used in education systems until the end of the 1960s.

🎅 Read a book about art.
🎅 Read a book that is set in either the 1930's or the 1960's.
🎅 Read a book where a child makes a mess.

4. View-Master
In 1938, William Gruber, a camerman, had a chance encounter at the Oregon caves with Harold Graves, president of Sawyer's Photographic Services, which led the two to strike a deal. Together, they would produce the View-Master, a new way of viewing tourist attractions in America. The famous red device made its big debut at the 1939 New York World's Fair and was sold through specialty photography stores until Graves and Gruber scored a major licensing agreement with Disney to offer 3-D images of Disney films, TV shows and theme parks. From that point on , the View-Master became a beloved classic.

🎅 Read a book set in New York City.
🎅 Read a book set in Oregon.
🎅 Read a book that is tagged a classic.

1940's
5. Slinky
Created by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943,l and a name chosen by his wife Betty, James began producing his novelty Slinky — but at first to little notice. Slinky got its big break during the Christmas shopping season of 1945, when the Gimbels department store in Philadelphia let James demonstrate his new creation. Within minutes, he sold 400 Slinkys. Sixty-six years and 250 million Slinkys later, we're still just as delighted with James' serendipitous toy as we ever were.

🎅 Read a book where a character is an engineer
🎅. Read a book set in Philadelphia.
🎅 Read a book with a character called either, James, Richard or Betty.

6. Magic 8 Ball
Sometime in the 1940s, Albert Carter created the Syco-Seer, a fortune-dispensing "crystal ball" inspired by a device used by his mother Mary, a professional psychic. The original product contained two dice and was cylindrical in shape. Sadly, Carter died before his creation found success. But in 1950, Carter's brother-in-law Abe Bookman was commissioned to turn the Syco-Seer into a black-and-white 8 ball with a floating 20-sided die. When the ball is shaken, the die floats to the surface, revealing its answer to your question about the future.

🎅 Read a book with a character who is a psychic. Tell us who.
🎅 Read a book where a character uses a ball. Tell us how.
🎅. Read a book with a character called Carter or Abe.

7. Legos
In 1949, Danish carpenter Ole Christiansen created a set of interlocking red and white blocks, the first of what would go on to become Legos. It wasn't until 1958 that the Lego company (its name derived from the Danish words for "play well") patented the small bricks. The genius was in the simplicity of the unassuming blocks, which allowed children to create freely without limits and in nearly endless combinations.

🎅. Read a book where a character builds something.
🎅. Read a book set in Denmark.
🎅 Read a book that has a character who is a child.

Together, they would produce the View-Master, a new way of viewing tourist attractions in America. The famous red device made its big debut at the 1939 New York World's Fair and was sold through specialty photography stores until Graves and Gruber scored a major licensing agreement with Disney to offer 3-D images of Disney films, TV shows and theme parks. From that point on , the View-Master became a beloved classic.

Created by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943,l and a name chosen by his wife Betty, James began producing his novelty Slinky — but at first to little notice. Slinky got its big break during the Christmas shopping season of 1945, when the Gimbels department store in Philadelphia let James demonstrate his new creation. Within minutes, he sold 400 Slinkys. Sixty-six years and 250 million Slinkys later, we're still just as delighted with James' serendipitous toy as we ever were.

Sometime in the 1940s, Albert Carter created the Syco-Seer, a fortune-dispensing "crystal ball" inspired by a device used by his mother Mary, a professional psychic. The original product contained two dice and was cylindrical in shape. Sadly, Carter died before his creation found success. But in 1950, Carter's brother-in-law Abe Bookman was commissioned to turn the Syco-Seer into a black-and-white 8 ball with a floating 20-sided die. When the ball is shaken, the die floats to the surface, revealing its answer to your question about the future.
