TOMY toys have created a Christmas gift guide for parents who want to save money and invest in long-lasting toys for their children, friends and family.
Timeless Toys for Christmas
With Christmas on the way and families becoming ever-more conscious of waste creation and product longevity, buying engaging toys for kids
can be challenging. One way to get the most for your money, while also being environmentally friendly, is purchasing toys that are timeless
and will last way after the Christmas season – being able to be passed down to the next generation.
TOMY, the world’s most trusted toy brand, has a variety of Christmas gifts that are built to last. From board games to creative yet
mess-free projects, whether you’re looking for toys for your own children or looking for a present, these are the greatest toys that will last the longest. An excellent investment throughout the years!
Pop Up Pirate
Welcome aboard, me hearties! Pop-up Pirate is a classic action game that is plenty of fun! This product is a fan-favourite among gamers.
This board game, which has been around since the 1980s, never gets old and keeps the whole family engaged for hours on end.
Take turns shoving swords into the pirate’s barrel, but don’t be the one to explode him! As you run out of swords, the stress might become
excruciating. The game may be played by two to four people. It also serves as a learning tool for children, since it fosters decision making and thinking.

Aquadoodle
Aquadoodle brings four contrasting corners together on the one mat for hours of magical drawing fun and creativity – but with no mess to spoil the party.
Simply fill the Aquadoodle pen with ordinary tap water, run the nib over the magic mat and see the colours appear! Any water that does run off the mat, runs clear. No mess, no stains, nothing to clear up, meaning no tissue or chemical waste!
Around the edges, kids will discover lots of different shapes and colourful characters to copy and inspire them. Combine them into a story, perhaps, then start all over again. Inside the border are
hidden letters and numbers to trace and colour over – a great way to learn basic writing strokes.
As the drawings dry, designs fade away ready for the mat to be used again, repeatedly – endless fun and extended playtimes.

Made from chunky, hard-wearing parts, the Build-A-Johnny Tractor farm toy is easy for little hands to assemble and can be passed down through the generations.
