Toys

Social Hippo toys that talk to each other when connected.Toys! Toys are something everyone is fond of. Of course, everyone has a different idea of what is and is not a toy. Some toys are universally considered as toys, and some are dependent upon the eye of the beholder. There are all different kinds of toys these days, different forms of toys, and toys for different purposes. For example, there are the kind that purely for recreation, and then there are learning toys for teaching children while they play. This particular kind of toy has grown in popularity quite a bit in recent years, which is great because they are a very healthy form of recreation.


Games

In my mind, a toy is more free form. When I was a kid, I had teenage mutant ninja turtle toys. Those are the ones I remember the best. A toy is just an object that a child (or adult) can use for whatever their imagination can allow. There aren't any real rules when it comes to what you do with a toy. Games, on the other hand, provide an experience. Games have a set of rules that you play by, and usually have a specific starting point and end point, and these are defined by the game. There are two most popular versions of games, board games and video games.

Top Toy Trends

Toy trends are hard to keep up on, they change so rapidly and every year there are new trends. Sometimes a toy will be immensely popular for a long time (I remember Zip Zaps being very popular for over a year straight), and then another to will be dangerously popular and disappear shortly after (remember the tickle me elmo doll?). A rough outline of anticipated toy trends for 2011 involve social games and toys, and educational toys and games. Apps on social networks and phones have become very popular, and toys are coming out that work with the apps, or are based off of them. Other social toys are becoming popular, ones that encourage children to play with other children. And educational or 'edutainment' toys are also very big (as mentioned before). Games and toys that teach children math, or construction based games that encourage them to think spatially, or games that develop their reading, writing, and communication skills are all a hot topic.
