Top Holiday Toys Canadian Style

We're going to be seeing a lot of these in the coming weeks: Christmas toy guides. So lets kick it off with what is going to be popular with our friends to the north (so you can have a heads up on what might be popular down here too!)

Walmart Canada today announced its list of the top 20 toys for the 2012 holiday season. All items on the list were selected based on feedback the retailer collected from kids and parents at the Great Big Toy Testing Event.

The list includes toys for kids of all ages, starting from eight months, and represents the latest toy trends, including educational, kid-friendly tablets and apps, crafting and construction, electronic, budget-friendly and movie-related toys. The toys were evaluated based on a number of criteria including educational value, age appropriateness, ease of use, how the child reacted to the toy, and if mom and dad like it.
