Most Popular Christmas Toys For Children
Nintendo DS
Just a little more than a week and Christmas Day will be here! I bet that your kids can barely contain their excitement as you start your preparations for the big day. I know that in our house, putting up the Christmas tree and lights is making everyone jump and down with the anticipation of Christmas. But have you decided on your presents for the kids yet?
I have several in mind but to be honest, I won’t be doing my shopping till tomorrow. I am sure that I am going to regret keeping it till this late when I am met by throngs of late shoppers tomorrow as well. Anyhow, I found an article detailing the most popular toys for kids this Christmas. Some of the recurring items that I noticed were gaming consoles and iPods. Umm, I think I shall refrain from these this Christmas – it’s too early for these this year. Perhaps the Wii, but nothing more.
For girls, the things on the list include the Nintendo DS Lite, Webkinz toys, Hannah Montana toys, and Barbie (yep, she is still at it). For toddlers, some ideas include Tickle Me Elmo Live, Lamaza Baby Toys, Leapfrog Little Touch LeapPad, and V-Tech Vsmile Baby.
I am leaning towards the educational toys for toddlers although I am really thinking about giving more books than toys this year. Some might think that this is the boring route but then again, get your children used to books and you will see just how much delight they will take in them.
What are you getting the kids this Christmas?

Hannah Montana toys have out sold everything I would think. Even now, after Christmas, the amount of Hannah Montana toys on sale is overwhelming! The toys are nice, the prices are not!

It is hard to believe that after all these years, Barbie is still one of the top kids toys! I think as long as Mattel keeps on re-inventing her, she wont be going anywhere.

Thanks for this – I know it’s not Christmas but I’ve been looking around for gift ideas for kids! I also feel that young kids should probably refrain from iPods and Wiis and all those gaming consoles! They’re so many other ways to keep them entertained while being educational!
For gifts, I got all the babies in the family personalized baby ornaments (like these http://www.ornamentsandmore.com/baby-ornaments.aspx ). They’re different, and personal and the kids won’t grow out of them!
