It's that time of year again. Now it's the much talked about Christmas of 2008 coming up with even more amazing toys than ever before. We are talking about electronics of all kinds for kids of each age category. Here we have listed some of the top items that will be harder to find as Christmas time grows near.
Each year for Christmas kids are begging for the newest and best toys the stores have to offer. This year is no different. Take a look at the hot Christmas toys for this year:
Elmo Live
He can wave his arms, stand, move his mouth when talking, sit, cross his legs, tell kids stories, sings songs, tell jokes, plays games, and moves his head around. It's easy to get him started, just squeeze his foot, tummy, or even his little orange nose. Just as they do every year, most stores are already predicting an early rush, and sellout of the Elmo Live toys, so you may want to start your shopping early this year.
Wii Fit
Is it any wonder that in early October these Wii Fits are nearly impossible to find? Flying off the shelves the moment a shipment arrives at any given store. Infact it's in such high demand that all stores are limiting the amount you may have per household to 3 and only selling them 1 per customer at a time. If you plan on getting one this year, I suggest acting quickly!
The Wii Balance Board can withstand up to a whopping 300 pounds so it can handle even the heaviest of us. It can measure the pressure you apply accurately and your total body weight. It can even recognize a player simply by their weight so when switching with other players, the transition is quick and smmoth. Now you can see why this is on all the hot Christmas toys lists for 2008!
More Wii Fit details:
To start things out each player will need to create their own profile as well as their very own Mii character. You enter in your age and height and do a few painless tests and viola you are read to go. The tests required are:
