In the 1950s, scientist and inventor Arthur Holt designed the Corn Popper, a stick with a plastic dome filled with gumball-sized balls. As a child pushed the Corn Popper, the toy sent the colorful balls airborne. When the balls hit the dome, they made a popping noise. The seemingly simple design reflected progressive thinking about how children play and learn—Holt intended for youngsters to use the toy while learning to walk. The Corn Popper’s usefulness and good looks also fit the principles of Good Design established by the Museum of Modern Art and reported on by Time magazine just a few years earlier. In 1957, Holt sold his Corn Popper design for just $50 to Fisher-Price, a company that had begun to specialize in toys for infants and preschoolers in the 1930s.
