Top 10 toys predicted to be huge this Christmas, according to John Lewis
Christmas is still months away, but John Lewis has already rounded-up the toys that kids will be hoping to find under the tree this year. Chosen by a panel of under 12's, some of the toys for this year includes styling doll heads, Hot Wheels and miniature pizza ovens.
"It's always such fun to see toys that brought so much joy decades ago come back around. They are toys that capture the imagination time and time again and that usually means adults will have just as much fun playing with them as kids do," says Alan Wright, Toy Buyer at John Lewis.
"We are also seeing that creative play is still super important to kids and with toys like the exclusive wooden workbench through to the Le Mieux Pony they are engaging in role playing which helps build confidence. The top ten offers toys suitable for kids of all ages from three to mum and dad's age!"
Take a look at the top 10 toys below...
