Ahead of Christmas, polling suggests that parents have played with their children more this year as a result of lockdown.
A survey of 2,000 parents in the UK with children under the age of 10 found that 46% of them said that toys had been played with more this year as a result of lockdown.
In addition, 56% of parents said that they had personally spent more time playing with their children this year, and 88% of those said that playtime had brought them closer to their children.
Gary Grant, chair of the DreamToys selection committee said: ‘Toys have been an important part of families’ lives during lockdown and we believe many on this list will put a well-deserved smile on faces this Christmas.’
