Top Toys
Parents know it all too well, with the changing of the New Year, the emergence of new toys quickly follows. These new toys keep kids on the edge of their seats in hopes of getting the latest and the greatest of the new toys to play with and amaze their friends. Just like in previous years, there are top toys for that year and it is no different with the current year of 2010. Research has been done and listed above are the top toys for just about any age group.
Top Toys for Babies
We can start with babies, toddlers and those who are just simply younger in age. The top toy of 2010 for babies who are aged between zero and eleven months has been found to be the Skip Hop Funky Farmyard Activity Playmat. This toy retails for around $60.00 but it all really just depends on where you go. The key to picking a toy out for a baby that young is to make sure that toy is engaging and stimulating so that the baby’s brain can get a workout and grow. There are quite a few stuffed animals that have become popular among babies as well. The Leapfrog TAG Junior Reading System is one of the most popular toys of 2010 for toddlers aged one to three years.
Toys for Preschoolers
Preschoolers also need toys that stimulate the mind because they will start encountering a learning environment in preschool. That is why the Crayola Beginnings Color Me a Song is one of the top 2010 toys for preschool aged kids (age’s three to five). This toy allows for kids to color on the tablet, but the faster they scribble the faster the music plays. When a child progresses into a school aged child (six to nine years old), they tend to start playing more with other children of the same gender. Luckily the Playmobil Egypt Playset has come to the rescue by not only being a top toy, but being a top toy that both boys and girls like to play with.
Toys for Teens
Children over nine start becoming bored with toys that are supposed to help learn; instead they want toys that are just fun to play with. Boys from all over love the Star Wars Force Trainer Jedi Training Headset. Girls like the Harumika Runway Showstopper or the F.A.M.P.S. Starter Kit. Teens are going to like a lot of different toys as long as there seems to be a lack of educational value. Gaming consoles like the new PS3 Slim 120GB version is on the top of their lists. DJ Hero with Turntables and Rockband, the Beatles edition are also popular games among the 2010 generations of teens.
