Top 5 Christmas gifts for kids
13th December 2011
Children up and down the country will undoubtedly be reminding their parents of the gifts they want to receive this Christmas on a daily basis.
However, if you are not lucky enough to have children with specific tastes, do not panic. The Toy Retailers Association (TRA) have released their list of the top 12 Christmas toys for 2011.
We have selected five of the bets to have a look at;
Doggie Doo
A plastic dog which produces plasticine may not sound like the most conventional Christmas gift, but it is certainly becoming popular throughout the world. The idea is that the child has to scoop up the ‘poo’ every time. Well, at least future pet owners will be well versed in taking care of their dogs!
Fijit Friends
Interactive technical toys are particularly popular this year, with many of the top 12 TRA list including cool gadgets and interesting features. One of these is undoubtedly Fijit Friends, an interactive robot which comes in four different colours and doubles as a bedroom light.The robot recognises over 30 keywords and responds with over 150 phrases.
Milky the Bunny
Another toy tipped to be on every child’s wish list this year is the very unusual Milky the Bunny. It’s the loveable interactive girls’ toy, which responds with a range of emotions. For example, if you tickle the bunny’s feet they will wiggle. Its eyes and ears also move and it chews on the big orange carrot which is part of the range.
Bakugan Dragonoid Collossus
Tipped to be the number one Christmas toy for boys, the Bakugan Dragonoid Collossus is a little monster worrier which can be transformed into a truly awesome device by connecting the ‘Lego-like’ pieces.
Dance Star Mickey
Dance Star Mickey is a robotic toy which walks, talks and moonwalks to six different songs. Suitable for 2 years old and upwards, it encourages children to both dance and sing.
Whatever gift you give this Christmas, it could be worth making sure that your family is financially secure to enjoy many other similar occasions for years to come. With this in mind, it could be worth taking out life insurance to financially protect your future.
