Even in an economic downturn, children still need exciting, good value toys to entertain and inspire their creativity.

    Let's check out the top must-have toys for Christmas.

    1 BABY born with magic potty

    Launched in 1991, the crying doll was the first to boast "human functions" and the latest version retails with a flashing, musical potty。An educational toy that encourages nurturing, priced at around £35.

    2 High School Musical dance mat

    Kids can dance and groove with this cool High School Musical dance mat! Learn the amazing dance routines with four songs straight from the High School Musical film.

    3 Bakugan

    The popular and fun anime TV series "Bakugan Battle Brawlers" has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of "Bakugan warriors".

    4 Ben 10 deluxe omnitrix Ben 10

    Now kids everywhere can own their own Omnitrix. Boys can wear the Omnitrix like a watch, as Ben 10 himself does on the animated show. Ben transforms himself into alien superheroes by setting his Omnitrix. With the cool sound and light effects of this toy, kids can pretend the same thing.

    5 Upsy Daisy and her chase and play bed

    As you are getting ready for bedtime, place Upsy Daisy in her bed and watch as she closes her eyes as the bed sings and gently rocks her to sleep.

    6 Elmo Elmo

    "Won't you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame street." Experience the real thing with Elmo Live!

    It is still too early to say whether it will be a Happy Christmas for the toy industry. Some children will inevitably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let's hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.

    即使在經(jīng)濟不景氣的時期，孩子們還是需要有趣的、有價值的、能激發(fā)他們想象力和創(chuàng)造力的玩具。

    讓我們看看今年圣誕必買的玩具。

    帶神奇馬桶的baby born娃娃

    這個1991年首次推出的會哭的娃娃是第一款具有擬人化功能的娃娃。它的最新款帶有一個會發(fā)亮而且會播音樂的馬桶。這款養(yǎng)成性的教育玩具的售價大約為35英鎊。

    熱舞青春跳舞毯

    孩子們可以在這款酷酷的熱舞青春跳舞毯上盡情舞動，還可以學會《熱舞青春》（美國迪斯尼出品）中的四首勁舞。

    爆丸

    很受歡迎的娛樂動畫片《爆丸》推出了戰(zhàn)略游戲，游戲中的卡牌可以召喚出多種爆丸戰(zhàn)士。

    豪華"Omnitrix"環(huán)

    現(xiàn)在各地的孩子都可以擁有自己的"Omnitrix"環(huán)。男孩們可以想動畫片《Ben 10》里的Ben一樣戴上"Omnitrix"環(huán)，看起來就像戴了一塊手表。通過設置"Omnitrix"環(huán)，Ben可以變身為外星英雄。擁有這款有酷酷的聲音和光效的玩具，孩子們可以假裝玩相同的游戲。

    Upsy Daisy 和它的玩具床

    當你準備睡覺的時候，把"Upsy Daisy"（BBC幼兒電視頻道CBeebies播出的系列節(jié)目《In the Night Garden》里的人物）放到她的床上。伴隨著床上的歌聲和輕搖，她會閉上眼睛入睡。

    娃娃

    “不要告我怎么能看到《芝麻街》（美國老牌兒童電視節(jié)目）。”和《芝麻街》里的Elmo娃娃一起玩吧。

    目前判斷玩具業(yè)能否過個快樂的圣誕節(jié)還為時過早，但是有些孩子難免要在圣誕的早上因為沒有新玩具而失望了。但愿巧克力，圣誕大餐和一些其他的禮物能夠補償孩子們。
