It’s wise to get in early for the top toys this Christmas.
Tates Toyworld have 20 per cent off their top 20 toys in the lead up to the big day.
One of their most popular toys has been Bunch O Balloons, an inventive way to instantly tie the knots of a bundle of water balloons simultaneously.
Toy manager Shannon Zaitz said it was much easier to fill the balloons up when he had a fun water fight with his niece and nephew.
“Especially for little children who would usually need a parent to help, it’s much easier for them,“ he said.
“Plus, there’s less chance of you getting hit with water bombs when you have no defenses because you have a bunch filled and ready to go to get people back.“
Among their successful new releases is The Pie Face Game. It involves a hand flicking cream on players’ faces if they spin the dice and land on certain points on the board.
The new edition of Zoomer Shadow, the robotic dog, is still very popular with the kids. With new features and better, the virtual dog responds well to training commands to sit, ’play dead’ and roll over.
