BENTONVILLE, Ark. (WGNO) — Amid seemingly endless shipping delays that businesses face in 2021, it’s never too early to start searching for that perfect toy to give during the holidays.
On Wednesday, Walmart released its list of the 39 hottest toys, as chosen “by real kids,” according to a news release. The children, ages 2 to 12, participate on the Walmart Toy Board and are “known for their expertise and passion on toys,” a spokesperson told Nexstar in an email.
“This year, we’re proud to help customers plan ahead and shop the most sought-after toys now with our Top-Rated by Kids Toy List as their guide,” said Steve Ronchetto, vice president of toys at Walmart U.S., in a statement.
The toys met with approval were divided by different themes, including, “Awakening Imagination,” “Fresh Air Fun,” “Not-So-Pretend Pets” and “Timeless Toys,” among others.
It’s the eighth time that the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company has released its Top-Rated by Kids Toy List. Walmart, which has approximately 10,500 stores, says it has “more than doubled its toy assortment” this year.
