Have your children already started to make their holiday wish lists? In 2013, Toysrus has identified not only the hot toys for Christmas 2013(http://www.squidoo.com/top-toys-for-christmas-list/) but several trends in the industry. Here are the biggest trends to watch out this year: toys based on your kid's favorite characters, tablets for kids, born again toys from the 1980s, and toys that glow in the dark or light up. Technology is moving toys in a new direction, but classical toys are still very much on the minds of young children. This year Toysrus has reviewed so many toys and has decided to reveal all of the major themes that dominate the new toys out this year. This helps parents better identify the toys that their kids are going to love.

Toysrus continues to lead the toy market with innovative programs like its Hot Toy Reservation program that was announced earlier this year. Toysrus is giving parents the opportunity to purchase toys on layaway for free. Customers can be rest assured that they are receiving the best prices on all of their toys thanks to the new Price Match Guarantee. Toysrus offers a great selection of toys to fit the needs of all families. Toysrus has identified the following four major categories of toys.

Toys Based On Popular Kid's Characters

Kids love toys based on their favorite characters. They love pretending and going on their own magical adventures with their toys. This year, little girls have made a new friend in Doc McStuffins. The “Time For You Check Up” doll brings Doc McStuffins to life like never before. Kids can play with the doctor's equipment and even hear the famous checkup song. The toy even includes Lambie. Your kids and the doctor can nurse all their sick toys to life.

Tablets For Kids

Parents no longer have to hand over their iPad to their kids. Kids now have their own versions with the LeapPad 2, VTech Innotab 2, and Tabeo. There are more choices than ever before. These tablets have been designed with younger kids in mind so parents don't have to worry about inappropriate content. Toysrus has put out its own tablet this year called the Tabeo. It offers parents parental controls to restrict access to the Internet.

Retro Toys

Toys that used to be popular years ago are making a big comeback in 2012. Many of these toys have received a major facelift. One of the biggest retro toys out this year is Furby. Furby has now been updated to make use of mobile devices and the latest technological advances. Furby has LCD eyes which allow him to display more emotion than ever before. People who grew up with Furby and new kids alike are going to experience Furby all over again.

Toys That Glow

Expect to see a lot of toys that glow and light up in the toy isle this year. Kids love playing in the dark with these toys. There is everything from Nerf guns to Lego brick sets.
