Top Toys for Christmas 2013

Here is our list of Top Toys for Christmas 2013.

   1. AquaDoodle

Our top pick this Christmas is this innovative toy which both boys and girls will enjoy for many happy hours. AquaDoodle by Spin Master is great for (younger) kids who like to draw. The mat even rolls up for easy carrying. The 'aqua' part comes from 'just add water' to get a non-toxic marker for kids to draw with. Bonus feature: this is quite inexpensive, at only about $20. Buy now or read reviews at Amazon.

2. Teksta Puppy

6. Flutterbye Flying Fairies

These adorable flying fairies are a big hit with young girls. They are more like 'hovering' fairies, flying over your hand with sensors. Fun and cute! Remote controlled cars, helicopters, and planes have long been the province of boys and men. They were designed to look manly and perform to the extreme, and finding girls interested in the area was something of a rarity.

In line with the recent move to create feminine versions of popular toys to more closely align with traditional girls' tastes, Spin Master has created the Flutterbye Flying Fairies, a remote controlled helicopter that is actually a fairy. Buy Flutterbye Flying Fairies for your little girl this Christmas.

 

7. Zoomer

Zoomer is the new robotic dog from Spin Master that looks like a Dalmatian puppy. This is the most advanced robo-dog on the market today, they say. Zoomer is fully articulated and highly interactive. With its fully articulated limbs, Zoomer has a large range of motion, and with its ‘ball paws’ it can play on any surface.

Zoomer can also act and move just like a real playful puppy, wagging its tail, rolling around and crouching. Zoomer also has voice activated commands and can learn when he is played with. Read what people are saying about Zoomer here, or check out Zoomer at Amazon.com here.
