Nostalgic toys and family games are top Christmas picks at Hamleys
With more time spent at home, there is also an emphasis on educational toys and items to keep children active during the festive period.
Nostalgic toys and games that get the whole family playing are at the heart of Hamleys’ top picks list this Christmas, store bosses revealed.
With more time spent at home, there is also an emphasis on educational toys and items to keep children active during the festive period.
“From the selections we’ve got a number of educational toys,” he said.
“Families have been educating a lot at home this year and (the Osmo Genius maths game) really takes it one step further.
“It uses a tablet to play games and educate kids all the way from five through to 10.
Mr Pearson added that products encouraging youngsters to get outside would also feature in the selection.
“As far as possible, we’re still getting kids outside because while we’ve got a number of toys you can play inside, I think it’s really important to get the kids out,” he said.
Hamleys’ top picks include the Rollin’ Rovee, Uno Flip, Monopoly For Sore Losers and Barbie Dream Camper.
“Kids want to emulate the NHS, so we’ve seen some great sales on that little bear,” he said.
