Slimy, ooey gooey and, well, poopy toys are topping kids' Christmas wish lists this holiday season.
And cute, scruffy, furry and adorable toys, too, are among the most sought-after toys of this holiday season.
"We know that kids love collectibles and this year, these tiny toys are providing kids with more surprises than ever with unique reveals, such as confetti-filled party poppers and treasure kids can actually dig up. Kids are also loving toys they can really get their hands on, whether it's slime, sequins, or squishies," Laurie Schacht, Chief Toy Officer at the Toy Insider, said.
"Speaking of slime, toys and games that dial up the 'gross' factor are also getting tons of love. And we're really seeing a throwback to classic play and retro toys from our own childhood," she added.
