John Lewis is hailing the joy of the toy box and expects wish lists will be topped with products that encourage loved ones to spend time together
John Lewis has revealed its top ten toys for Christmas - and the high street giant predicts families will ditch screens for play time this festive season.
The retailer is hailing the joy of the toy box and expects wish lists will be topped with products that encourage loved ones to spend time together. A wooden breakfast set and classic dolls house are just some of the toys that have made the cut.
They say it's the most important meal of the day, and the John Lewis Wooden Breakfast in Bed set features a serving tray, toast, croissant, yoghurt and fruit pieces for £24.
The dolls house is based on Paddington the bear - but it comes with a hefty price tag. Le Toy Van Paddington Doll's House is priced at £299.95 and is based on the nation’s favourite bear and the four-storey Brown family home.
John Lewis says Marvin’s Magic is set to bring back joyful charm of the classic living room show, with the Marvin's Magic Treasured Tricks Wooden Set, £39.99.
Ever the Christmas classic, popular brands such as Lego are also still expected to triumph this year - with a new Icons 10361 Winter Village Collection Holiday Express Train, £109.99, predicted to be a bestseller.
John Lewis also believes K-Pop to be a continuing trend, with its list also featuring a Rumi Singing Doll for £34.99.
Meanwhile, the Connetix Ball Run Launcher, £45, is an interactive that allows kids to built and swap tube pieces to see how each change transforms the outcome of their run.
Alan Wright, toy expert and buyer at John Lewis, said: “This year’s Top Ten Toys welcome families to put the living room back at the heart of family life. As a nation, we’re witnessing a ‘Great Play Revival’, with ‘playtime’ toys - think those that encourage collaboration, creativity and outdoor adventure - making up nearly half of all sales in the John Lewis toy department.
“Families are actively choosing connection over collection and swapping screen time for shared experiences that create lasting memories.”
