The Chicago Toy and Game Fair is in its 5th year now and is the only non-hobby toy and game fair open to the public in the United States. Attendees have the opportunity to meet inventors from all over the world and interact directly with the manufacturer. Many of the toys and games available at the fair as well as other high quality toys can be ordered online at www.phun4you2.com.

Booths are still available at the Chicago Toy and Game Air. For approximately $1,500.00 an exhibitor can have a 10 by 10 booth and a room at the Renaissance Hotel for two nights. This is a great opportunity for inventors as both Hasbro and Mattel will have representatives present.

Who would have ever guessed that a soft malleable material known as silly putty would be the wildly popular toy that it was or that a wire toy called the Slinky would gross $50,000.00 monthly back in the l940s and l950s which is the equivalent of $600,000.00 monthly by today’s standards.
