When we talk about kids and all the toys they need, there is one universal truth: The older the kids grow, the more expensive toys they want. A small baby or a toddler does not have any specific need for toys. They don’t ask you to buy them this or that toy. All they need is to stick something in their mouth, no matter if it’s a wooden spoon from your kitchen or an expensive toy from Mattel. When kids grow older they start to have their own specific wishes for toys, most of the time this wish comes from the TV advertisements for kids toys that they have seen. Sometimes they want to have the same doll or a truck that their friend has. No matter what that is, toys for kids are not cheap and parents spend fortunes on toys for their kids. But even though toys for kids are expensive, all parents want to keep their children happy.
The most popular brands for toys are Mattel, Cabbage Patch Kids, Lego, Mega brands, etc. The list of these companies is quite long and this is a very successful business that generates lots of money every year. Probably the most selling products for Christmas are toys for kids. The average expenditure for Christmas that parents spend is more than EUR600. An average child owns toys from around EUR1700 in their bedrooms. Most of the kids receive from 6 to 14 presents for Christmas and 90% of those presents are toys for kids. As kids become older, their presents and their toys are becoming more expensive. If you buy teddy bears, little trains and remote control cars when the kids are small, when they grow older you need to start buying bigger and more sophisticated toys for kids. The teddy bears are replaced by video games, computers, computer games, the latest X box, bicycles with gears and depending on the age, shiny and very loud cars. Toys for kids differ, from anything that makes noise around the living room to large trampoline in your backyard.
It is also very well known that children get bored with their toys very fast, so you need to buy new toys for your kids much often than you want to. Sometimes they will request you to buy them a specific toy that you cannot find in the shops near to you, so you have to search on the internet or EBay to satisfy their wishes. No matter how much money people spend on toys for kids, parents always love to see that big smile and widening eyes on the face of their children. No money can buy the satisfaction that parents get when they see the happiness and endless joy in their kids’ eyes.
