Mums’ Choice Top Christmas Toys 2012 announced
‘Tis the season! Well, not quite but it is the time of year when the Christmas toy machine cranks into gear. Bloggers from UKMums.TV hit the Christmas in July press event and put together their list of top Christmas toys for the annual Mums’ Choice Awards.
It’s a list created by real mums, for real mums. These are the must-have toys tipped to be on wish lists across the UK. The Mums’ Choice Awards are a great way for parents to get an honest and unbiased view of the latest toy releases.
Most importantly, the list features products which have been given the seal of approval by parents.
This year’s list features everything from retro games to gadgets, collectible figures, creative toys, puzzles and tech-smart educational tools. The perennially popular Peppa Pig won a spot on the list with the Muddy Puddles Game, as did the Rubik’s Cube. No toy wish list would be complete without Sylvanian Families. Flair scored a double whammy with Sylvanian Families Holiday in two categories.
The Mums’ Choice Awards announcement comes hot on the heels of the release of Hamleys top toys for Christmas. Both lists featured Subbuteo, LeapPad 2 and InnoTab 2 so it’s safe to say that all three will be best selling Christmas toys.
