According to global educational toy manufacturers VTech and LeapFrog, when it comes to the most popular toys this Christmas, this is a case of combining old and new.

VTech Australia and New Zealand marketing manager Maud Rocher said that classic toys will never lose the lasting popularity of children. They have a series of classic educational toys that will also attract parents' nostalgia.

"Our Marble Rush suit series is a twist on the classic, combining sound and lighting effects. But just like many parents built marble jumps and runs in their own childhood, these two sets are full of thrilling jumps and Stunts-the marble dash adventure suit even has an electronic Ferris wheel," Rocher said.

As people have more time at home during the Covid-19 lockdown, pet adoption has surged globally, which has also created demand for pet toys, including VTech's Play and Go Puppy Salon for preschoolers.

"Through this puppy salon, children can role-play and learn to be responsible puppy owners. The salon includes a pretend puppy, a pet harness and a series of grooming accessories. We like to think that we are helping to reduce the pressure on parents. Not ready to take on the lifelong commitment of a new dog!"

The trend in Europe is the prevalence of the category of storytelling toys: portable devices that play story audio, activate the imagination of children and allow them to enjoy hours of entertainment.

Rocher said in France last year that the leading storytelling brand sold more than 100,000 pieces to French children, becoming the number one selling toy in 2020. Similar toys were on the Hot List in Germany this year and are paving the way for storytellers like the award-winning LeapFrog storytelling device in English-speaking countries.

"Leapfrog On-the-Go Story Pal player allows children to enjoy story time wherever they go. It stimulates imagination through more than 30 stories, poems, songs and lullabies, including the stories of Peter Pan, Peter Rabbit, and boys Wait for the classic fairy tale who cried the wolf and the emperor’s new clothes.

"The narrator, character voices, sound effects and content encourage listening comprehension and lay the foundation for a love of storytelling. This cute bunny-shaped player has easy-to-navigate controls and a headphone jack, so children can listen anywhere. "

She said that there is still more than a month before Christmas, and these three toys are already very popular in stores.

"These educational toys can teach role-playing, engineering and literacy knowledge to children of all ages, and are in great demand, so if you want a specific gift, please start shopping as soon as possible. The children tell us that they play these three All the toys had a lot of fun, they didn’t even realize they were learning."
