Christmas is coming and kids across the country are writing their Christmas lists.

For parents who want to avoid that last minute dash when your kid decides they want the toy everyone else is talking about on 22 December, Hamleys has put together their predictions for the most popular presents.

The top 10 list features everything from a book that teaches pre-schoolers how to code to a dancing sloth.

Victoria Kay, head buyer at Hamleys, said: ‘It’s no surprise that tech-based toys are popular with the kids this Christmas but it’s interesting and exciting that we are seeing an emerging trend of human connection within toys like Scruff-a-Luv’s My Real Rescue, whereas other toys such as Pictionary Air are starting to embrace the online world through physical play.

‘Importantly, these toys are being delivered to bring people together this Christmas and provide an extra dimension of fun and familiarity to all family members.’
