LEGO bags 10 nominations in the 2025 Toy of the Year Awards
The Toy Foundation has announced the nominations for the Toy of the Year (TOTY) 2025 awards, including a whopping ten nominations for the LEGO Group.
The annual awards seek to pick out the best and brightest toys ahead of the holiday season, showcasing the highlights of the global toy industry in a number of different categories. It also helps to raise funds for the Toy Foundations’ charitable work to help children in need around the world.
The LEGO Group has earned nominations for 10 products across eight categories, with LEGO Ideas in particular taking home the bulk of the nominations. From vehicle and construction figures to minifigures and educational sets, LEGO sets have managed to impress the Toy Foundation in a number of areas.
Now is the time for the public to have their say by visiting the Toy Awards website to vote for their favourites across all 16 categories. Winners in each category, as well as the overall Toy of the Year winner and the People’s Choice winner (based solely on consumer votes), will be announced at the TOTY Awards gala on February 28, 2025, in New York.
The awards show will also kick off the annual Toy Fair, which will run from March 1 to March 4. All event proceeds (including TOTY nomination fees) benefit TTF’s initiatives, including the Children’s Hospital Play Grants program to bring the healing power of play to children in hospital settings; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program to reach all communities with play; and The Toy Bank program to deliver the comfort and security of a toy to children in need around the world.
“This year’s TOTY finalists exemplify our industry’s talent for delivering joy, encouraging exploration, and enhancing learning through the power of play,” said Pam Mastrota, executive director of The Toy Foundation. “We are proud to not only celebrate these innovative playthings but also the philanthropic impact fundraising for the TOTY Awards celebration will have in supporting the physical and emotional well-being of children in need around the world.”
