What is the toy of the moment?

For various reasons I need to know what is the toy that 5/6 year olds are after this Christmas?
I’ve tried asking some but they just name consoles.
Is there a really popular toy at the moment?

Thanks.

Always lego in this house

There isn't really a 'must have' toy at the moment except maybe those cheap poppet things. Children are all so different.
Gone are the days of mums queuing at dawn for the all important must have toy.
Most 5/6 year olds are happy with a Hot Wheels car, sheet of stickers and a shiny pen tbh.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks for the replies.
There doesn’t really seem to be a ‘must have’ toy with parents fighting over it this year does there. Poppets are just so dull. I don’t mind crazes but these are just nothing. At least with loom bands you made something.

Lego, bubbles the octopus (weird reversible thing you can change according to mood), hot wheels or toy cars, toy trains are always a hit, oodie oversized hoodie thing

That dancing mimicking cactus is pretty popular.

My soon to be 6 year old is still very into Paw Patrol despite being at school. He loves Lego and he wants a scooter because lots of kids in our area ride them to and from school. He'd love his own tablet but DP wants to keep him away from screens for as long as possible.

Maybe a magic mixie
Crystalina?
Theres a long list of toys she wants. But not one obvious popular one for this year.

Hatchimals- it's always fun opening the little eggs.

I have a 5 & 6 year old and don’t think there is a toy of the moment, depends on the kid.
Dd5 & Ds6 both love Playmobil or Lego.
I tend to think anything that is said to be the toy of the moment or must have Christmas toy is usually a bit crap it that might be because I never got them as a kid Grin
