Some other toys you should consider purchasing
According to John Jordaan, MD of Prima Toys, kids are definitely still playing with toys despite the onset of smart devices. He discusses the popularity of the L.O.L. Surprise Pets, which is this year's local and international bestselling toy for girls, also stating that collectibles such as Shopkins (despite launching season 10), are "showing absolutely no signs of slowing down!"
