How to create a drop down menu for objects

Is it possible to create a drop down menu for objects in the worksheet? I
have a worksheet that students enter some data in it and then, they have to
draw some simple logos in relation to the result of data. I have made the
logos (a total of 20)using the drawing tool and have put them on the
worksheet so that students can mouse-drag them to the designated locations. I
though if I can create a drop-down menu and put all the objects in it, the
worksheet would like very clean and easy to work with.
Thanks for your help or any comments in advance.
