Cape Town - These are the toys tied to the hotly anticipated seventh instalment in the Star War saga, which features on the top kids’ wish lists this Festive Season.
According to leading e-tailer takealot.com, South African kids are also scampering to get their hands on the latest edutainment products.
“We expect a surge in demand for educational toys such as the LeapFrog LeapPad, Kano Computer Kit and I-Que Smart Robot as the trend toward tech-driven toys and gadgets for kids continues to dominate. We’re also likely to see strong demand for old favourites with a fresh twist, such as the newly-launched Monopoly Cape Town Edition, especially as families head on holiday and look for fun activities to share,” explains Declan Hollywood, Chief Marketing Officer at takealot.com.
