Hot Christmas toy for 2010?




rachel


I have been researching, and haven't found a definite answer on what the hot toy will be for this Christmas. Last year was Zhu Zhu pets, and everyone was spending ridiculous amounts of money to get them. Any idea of what it is this year? Do you think that Justin Beiber doll could be a big hit? Thanks!


Answer
Well it could be but I doubt it. Justin Beiber is pretty popular but a lot of people in 2010 are wanting a lot of technology type stuff like ipads, iphones, video games, and similar. This page http://theperfecttoys.com/christmas-2010 may help you get a better idea of what toys will be hot for Christmas 2010. It really depends on the age group also because what may be hot this year for a toddler, isn't going to be hot for a 10 yr old and so on.

toddler christmas craft idea?

i was thinking of some cute ideas to do with my daughter when she came up to me with the toy catalogue and was showing me what she wants!
i came up with he idea of having her cut out the pictures of what she wants and sticking them on a big piece of paper creating her own "christmas wish list"
What do you think of this?
Also can you suggest any other ideas?



Answer
I think that's a great idea, but you should plan to do some other things, so she doesn't get the idea that Christmas is only about gifts for her. Also, make sure she knows that Santa doesn't always bring everything. You don't want her to be disappointed on Christmas morning because she thought she'd get everything she asked for.

You can make gifts for beloved friends and relatives with squares of unbleached muslin, a plain wooden embroidery hoop, and some fabric paint. Stretch the muslin into the hoop and paint her hand with the paint. Make a hand print. Let it dry, and you can use a fabric marker to write anything you want-like "Christmas 2010 Jennifer", or whatever. thread some narrow ribbon through the fastener on the hoop so it can be hung up on the wall or a tree. If you want to get fancy, you can sew lace on the edges of the muslin.

Remember shrinky dinks? You can buy the plastic at a craft store. Have your child help you trace a Christmas shape (cookie cutters are good for this) and then fill it in with the markers. You would cut it out and bake it. Make sure to punch a hole in it, so it can be hung.

You can cut out cardboard shapes that your child can paint. Paste a picture of your child in the middle and surround with little pine cones or other decorative shapes (buttons, scraps) that she can help you glue on. This can also be hung

Cut out the separate parts of the egg carton. Paint and pull a ribbon or pipe cleaner through to hang on a tree to look like a bell. (I still have some of these from when one of my children was little)

And even though she's little, you can have her help you mix when you're baking. She can also help decorate cookies.

Have a great time with your daughter on the holidays. Consult you library for more ideas.
