Christmas is fast approaching and you need to know what the top toys of 2009 for your 8 year old child are. The great thing about 8 year olds is that even though they are old enough to be disappointed when they don’t get what they asked for, they are young enough to enjoy the toys that are fun and entertaining.
For your 8 year old girl who is fast learning about fashion Barbie is still one of the top selling toys around. Not only is Barbie popular, but so are her friends. Your little girl will have hours of play dressing up both the male and female dolls, driving them around in their Barbie car or jeep, and interacting with the various career play sets available.
LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Fighter
Your 8 year old boy is going to be bowled over with any of the current Transformer action figures, as well as the Star Wars toys. They will have hours of imaginative fun fighting battles in the air, over the seas and on land. There is no stopping the creativity your 8 year old will exhibit while re-enacting the scenes he’s watched on the television and in the movies. LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Fighter is said to be one of the most wished for Star Wars items this year. Your child may be different, though!
While being creative with their imagination is important for your 8 year olds, there are educational toys that are just as much fun. You may have a hard time keeping your child off of the computer, but with the multitude of educational software available you can direct them towards PC video games that enhance their scholastic experience. So don’t forget to check these items out and add them to your Christmas list.
