The Top Ten Christmas Toys
From the first funny shaped rock or stick that was used to keep a child busy or entertained, toys have come a long way. Today, they are a billion dollar industry, with new toys - faster, brighter, smarter - come out all the time. It is difficult for some parents to keep up with all the latest trends and fads. (Silly Bandz, anyone?) To help with this, we are going to look at some of the ways to research popular toys from the past so you can do a better job finding the top ten toys of Christmas in 2011.
For example, what is going to be the must-have toy this year? While many people are going to attempt to answer this question in the months ahead, there is another way to look at the top Christmas toys question. For example, what about popular Christmas toys from 1947? Or the top toys for Christmas 1977? By going back in time and looking through history, we can come up with some guidelines for helping us pick the most popular Christmas toys of all time.
How to Find the Top Ten Christmas Toys of All Time
The Internet - While the world wide web is a wonderful way to look up information on the history of toys and which ones were popular in the past, you are going to see a lot of the same information tossed about as people try to sell you products. That said, there are many good places to research the most popular Christmas toys online - for the current year as well as years of Christmas Past.
Print Media - You may have to go to a physical library (remember those?) to get this information, but microfilm is a wonderful thing for looking up old articles in magazines. This can enable you to see what the print magazines and newspapers were saying about the most popular toys whatever year you want to know about.
The Top 10 Christmas Toys of All Time
Without any further waiting, here is our pick of the top 10 Christmas toys of all time.
LEGO Blocks - No matter the set, these have been a Christmas favorite for many years now. Currently, the LEGO Universe is one of the "must-have" items.
Hula Hoop - Even today, this is a popular toy. It's a little more expensive than the original toys, but kids still love it.
Barbie - Going on 50+, Barbie still looks great and is one of the top Christmas toys of all time.
Red Wagon - With Red Flyer being the most popular, the classic red wagon is still a great gift for kids of all ages.
Video Games - It started with Pong, moved to the Atari 2600, then was dominated by Nintendo for many years. Today, video games are more popular than ever before. Today, the X-Box is on the top of a lot of people's list.
Lionel Trains - Every child probably has a memory or two of getting their first Lionel train set. Today, the trains are still desired by children everywhere, making this a top Christmas toy.
Board Games - From Candyland to Memory, board games are some of the most popular Christmas toys. Risk is probably one of the more popular games for older children.
Little People - From Fisher Price, these large "Little People" have been around for many decades. They're still a favorite of small children, making them a top Christmas toy.
GI Joe - While this soldier has had his ups and downs over the years, he's still in our top list of Christmas toys. With a recent movie, these toys are more popular than ever.
The Empty Box - Oh yes, the lowly box. How many young children have had hours and hours of imaginative fun with empty boxes after Christmas morning? Quite a few, I would imagine. Because of that, the empty cardboard box is our pick for the top Christmas toy of all time.

Voted Best Christmas Toys & Festive Fun Board Games 2011 - Christmas Gift Ideas For Boys & Girls
If you have not given much thought to Christmas and with it only being around the corner then I suggest you put on your thinking cap fast to avoid those last minute Christmas upsets. Corners do not take long to reach and Christmas will be upon you before you can say Santa Claus. Hanging around till the last minute to do your 2011 Christmas shopping for kids toys just might leave you with a broken hearted child where your excuses go unheard, and the tears continue to flow.
Over the next few weeks leading up to Christmas, it is going to be impossible - unless your fast in flicking over the TV channel showing adverts by toy companies plugging their wares on our television screens. Speed will help prevent making promises to your kids you cannot keep. Toy adverts will have your child want every new toy out, but is it new.
Toy companies use trickery to try and fool parents with their Christmas toy promotions. They do this by taking the common Christmas toys we already know about and give them a makeover, and then show them in a new light to promote sales; their ploy is to dupe us into thinking we are getting something different. Hold up you lot, I know us Irish are supposed to be thick but as we say in Ireland "You cannot cod a codder"
These so called differences for example:
Barbie doll has a new boyfriend called Fred, yet another waxed model to replace Ken who she dumped. Good one and I gotta give it to these toy companies, but you cannot fool me, its Ken with his hair dyed. And it would not surprise me in the coming weeks leading up to Christmas if retirement is on the cards for Thomas the tank engine. Tommy is not going anywhere he will back be under a new name and with a different color engine. What I am getting at is what you believe to be new, is just old hat.
Christmas toys for the year 2011 are leaving the shop shelves as quick as they are being stocked up. Get in fast to nab a Christmas gift for your child while you have the chance. In order to beat the crowds and avoid the mad rush for the latest new Christmas electronic gadgets i.e. computer consoles for teens such as Playstation 3 - Nintendo Wii - Xbox 360 then secure them now, because you are not palming big kids off with last years model just because it is cheaper, and neither will they accept an excuse if the present they want is not gift wrapped and placed under the Christmas tree. Teens want the upgrades of the IPod and IPhone.
It can be a headache anticipating which Christmas prezzies to buy a boy or girl. You will be doing yourself a favor to do your thinking now to avoid those most feared words that can turn a headache into a migraine "sorry sold out." What present can you gift wrap this Christmas Eve guaranteed to put a smile on the face of child on Christmas morning. You will know you have chosen well when they plant a big sloppy kiss on your cheek while hugging you to death.
I have done a search so you do not get a headache and found the toys listed below are the most Popular Christmas Toys for Boys and Girls 2011 for under the Christmas tree.
Bakugan Battle Pack
Battle Strikers Starter Set
Ben 10 Alien Force Kevins DX Action Cruiser
Bendaroos Mega Pack
GO GO Pets Hamsters
GX Racers Tightrope Terror
Kidizoom Multimedia Digital Camera
LEGO Games Minotaurus
Monopoly City
Princess Peppa's Palace
Sylvanian Families Caravan
Transformers Movie 2 Voyagers Figures
There is nothing to beat giving your child a Christmas gift they can have fun with while learning at the same time.
Activity toys for boys and girls will range from toddler stage upwards. A vast variety of activity toys are available now for you to gift a child. Remember, learning games can be given all year round like for birthdays and as a reward if your child has earned it.
Crayola Color Wonder Magic Light Brush from Crayola LLC is a must for little kids. It is a mess-free painting set of six paint colors and a magical paintbrush. The paints are translucent until the light brush comes in contact with special paper provided where the colors suddenly appear. What is good about this product is while the paint only works on the special paper there will not be mess, like the product marring household furniture and walls.
Bakugan Battle Brawlers Battle Pack Series 1 Spheres from Spin Master tops the list as the most popular Christmas gift for lads. It is a strategic game which includes cards and marble-shaped action figures which all boys loves. When the marbles roll across a particular metal card, the marbles pop open into the form of a specific action figure. When buying toys of this sort you have to consider the safety of children and their well being. Although it is an all time favorite - due to small pieces that come supplied with the product makes it unsuitable for toddlers. Little children should not be around the game when it is played either. You only have to drop a small part and you can guarantee the infant will have it in their mouth quicker than you can say Greenland.
Educational games and toys that are fun to play are all time favorites among parents.
Leap-Frog TAG Reading System from Leap-Frog is an ideal Christmas present for kids between the ages of 4 to 8 that helps them with reading using special plan books which interact with the TAG pen, a hand held talking gadget. Its fun exciting and thrilling because the pen can be used to read the whole childrens book from start to finish or it can be used to help a child in sounding out certain words as the kid reads the book.
Most little girls are crazy over horses. How many have you told that all time little white lie to their little girl so not to break her heart, that the garden is not big enough for a real horse, but when she gets older you will move to a new house with a bigger garden so she can have a real horse. If you have a daughter who love ponies and horses then a fabulous gift to consider is the Playmobil Horse Farm from Playmobil. The toy set includes horses of different colors, ranch hands, grooming tools, trees and other fun pieces. Once again because it is made up of small parts avoid giving this as a Christmas present if the child is 3 years old or under. Read the instructions on all toy packaging so the product does not contain parts deemed as choking hazards.

Christmas is not just about opening presents and filling your belly with turkey, it is about having fun. Christmas entertainment should include the family sitting around the table in front of the fire while snow falls outside without sound playing a game of Snakes and ladders, Ludo, or trying to solve the mystery of who killed Colonel Mustard in the board game Cluedo. While the snow may settle quietly on the outside, this cannot be said for the happy house on the inside. Sounds of laughter shows them on the inside are having a wonderful Christmas Day.
