The Christmas Toy Buzz...Which Toys Are Hot

What's the buzz on Christmas toys this year? Which toys are being mentioned now that will be under the tree favorites? Well, I can tell you what the buzz is going on in our house. The buzz is low right now, but with each passing day, it's getting louder and louder. So here is what I can predict will be hot sellers, judging by my 10 yr. old, 3yr.old, and 1yr.old. You can't get better crtics than that!

For The Youngest Set (about 1-3 year olds-- based on the reactions of my 1 year old)

TMX Elmo, Ernie and Cookie Monster ( my personal favorite!). Now, we have Elmo, and my little one squeals in delight when TMX Elmo does his thing( actually, it is pretty cool. I don't squeal, but I do clap my hands a bit). This year Fishetr Price has added Ernie and Cookie Monster to the TMX family, and from what I am hearing and reading on the web, these items are sure to be big sellers. If you think you have a liitle one on your list this year who will be delighted by the dancing and talking anctics of the TMX crew, my best advice: Buy Now!

Sesame Street: Lots To Learn Elmo Laptop

This is a toy that I really like. It is cute, and the bright red color is appealing to young ones. It seems sturdy enough, and is priced well at about $29.99. This is a toy that both my 1 yr.old and my 3 yr. Old would play with, but alas, that means fighting over it. But I am still considering it.

For The 3-5 years Old Set

The ClickStart My First Computer by Leapfrog

This is a preschool learning toy that closely resembles grown up versions. Kids get to use a mouse like grownups, and the keyboard is et up like a real keyboard. My three year old's friend down the street already has one, and loves it . I plan on getting one for my son, and from the buzz I'm hearing, my advice: Buy it Soon!

I have seen it at Toys R Us listed at $59.99.
