As well as revealing the industries favourite toys, this year for the first time, mums and kids we’re given a selection of toys to test so that they could chose their favourites as well! Gurgle.com editor, Nifa McLaughlin, helped judged the Mum’s Choice Awards, and the panel chose the Imaginext Batcave, Mattel RRP £49.99 and the Kidizoom Twist, Vtech, RRP £49.99 as their two top toys.
Nifa says: “As mums we were looking for a combination of things from the winning toys. Firstly that our kids were excited about the toy and loved playing with it, but also that the toy lived up to expectations, was quick and easy to get started with and would hold the interest of a lively toddler for more than five minutes! All the toys were fantastic but we found the girls especially loved the Kidizoom Twist and the boys couldn’t get enough of the Imaginext Batcave.”
