Dream Toys committee chairman Gary Grant said: “We have a fantastic range of toys this year to suit every budget, with three-quarters of the list under £50, representing real value for money in these uncertain times.

“The list is an excellent reflection of the toy industry’s dedication to innovation and ingenuity and highlights the wonder and happiness that toys bring to children and families at this time of year.”

Frederique Tutt, global analyst for The NPD Group’s toy division,

said: “This year has been disruptive for the toy industry globally. However, while retail is experiencing a transformation, more than £1.2 billion worth of toys will be sold this Christmas.

“We expect dolls, slime, Harry Potter and collectables to be on children’s lists.”
