The Hottest Toys of 2018

Christmas is fast approaching and you may be feeling the rush to find that perfect toy for your little one before Santa’s scheduled arrival. Between television commercials and YouTube videos, it may be difficult to narrow down what exactly you should get for your child. Rest easy, because this list is going to lay out the hottest trends in the toy world for 2018:

Fingerlings

If these little interactive finger puppets sound familiar, it’s because they were last year’s hottest toy as well! The past year has shown a growth in design and choice when it comes to these robotic pets. This is good news for the consumer, since that means you can likely find older “models” at discounted prices. So instead of shelling out for the purple unicorn, you can likely find a good deal on last year’s pink monkey.

Also, you are less likely to get trampled trying to get your hands on one – there are plenty in stock!

These finger-sized animals are completely interactive and programmed to react to your child. They also have realistic movements such as blinking and tail-wagging.
