         Like it or not, the Christmas season has begun. Target and other stores began their first Big Book toy sale today. The hot toy this year is Hatchimals, running roughly $50 on sale. It's a huge speckled egg that "hatches" a fuzzy, big-eyed animal. Lego is always popular. Trolls are the latest new item. Paw Patrol items and PJ Masks are hot, too.

         You can always count on Barbie and Disney Princess to have many new varieties. Sesame Street and Disney have more preschool items. Shopkins, Twosies, Flipsies and anything with pets please little girls. pretend things work with younger boys and girls, including dress-up items. Books, puzzles, games, and crafts work as secondary items, not the major attractions on their wish lists.

         Boys like dinosaurs, wrestling figures, Star Wars, and comic book action heroes.Younger boys like trucks, Hot Wheels, and tools. Bikes, skateboards, Nerf, skates and the accessories for safety still work for boys and girls. Now you can throw in tablets, i-pads, and electronic learning games, even for preschoolers.
