Fijit Friends are meant to be THE must have gift for children this year. If you are planning to get a Fijit Friend this Christmas, then we would advise getting one sooner rather than later. Fijit Friends are interactive friends that recognise over 30 different keywords and responds with 150 different responses. Comes with batteries and is aimed at 6 and overs.
The Kidizoom Twist Camera is sure to be on many a pre-schoolers list this Christmas. This 2 megapixel camera with zoom takes videos as well as pictures and there are 5 games built in. Kids can edit and enhance the photos by adding fun graphics, borders and stickers to the image. You can also hook the camera up to your tv so your child can see the pictures they have taken on a much larger screen.
The Doggy Doo game is probably the most contraversal on the list this year. The aim of the game is to aviod being the one who cleans up the plasticine poop. Every time you roll the dice it determins how many times you squeeze the lead. Get caught holding the lead when the dog does the business, and you are the one that needs to clear it up!
The Fireman Sam Pontypandy set is going to be a real hit this year. You child will get to save Naughty Norman when he traps his head in the railings as well as getting a cat down that has gotten stuck up a tree. The set includes Sam figure, Norman figure, cat figure, tree, railings, hose reel, ladder, fire bucket & cones and is going to be one of the top sellers this Christmas.
The LeapPad Explorer is basically an iPad for children. The tablet is aimed at learning and this is achieved with games, digital reading creativity and personalisation. The LeapPad explorer is compatible with existing Explorer games libararys. This is one of the gifts that retailers seemm to be struggling to get enough stock of, so it is advised to buy early.
Like the Dance Star Mickey gift mentioned above, Let’s Rock Elmo is one of the must have Childrens gifts for this year. He sings and dances and even plays musical instruments. The set comes with a drum set and a tambourine and Elmo knows which one you give him to play. You can also buy additional musical instruments to keep the lifetime of this toy going even longer. The musical instruments are the perfect size for pre schoolers little hands.
Milky The Bunny is flying off the shelves this Christmas. Milky is an interactive bunny who will wiggle his feet when tickled, chew on carrots and blink his big brown eyes. You will need to be careful as Milky is scared of loud noises and will drift off to sleep after a long day of playing. It is worth noting that Milky needs AA batteries that are not included.
LEGO. The classic christmas gift for Children. I was lucky enough to always get a set in my stocking. This years must have LEGO set is the Ninjago Fire Temple. There are other sets in the series to collect and they can be combined to make bigger play areas and adventures.
This is the second year in a row that we feature a Nerf product. This is all about guns that fire soft plastic bullets. This gun features an electronic scope to help with aim as well as a 20 disc magazine aimed at keeping loading times to a minimum. Other magazines can be bought seperately.
Moshi Monsters are huge this year. With over 50 million children playing the game online, the real life toys are sure to be popular. One of the top toys in the Moshi Monsters treehouse, where children get to play with the miniture characters offline in their own treehouse.
