                                      Many of this year's big toys need batteries and make a lot of noise, and some sell out early. If the child already has a lot of toys, a game or a craft set may last longer.
                                      How we choose

                                      We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't. Commissions never change a pick or its place on the list. Read our full methodology →
