Bringing families together
After a challenging time during the pandemic, with families unable to see extended family and friends, games that can bring the whole family together and promote connection have been important. 

With families being confined to hometime activities during the COVID lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, toys and games which parents could get involved with and play alongside their children have also seen a rise in popularity.

This includes group card games, board games, and toys and games with a creative element, such as baking or arts and crafts.

Inspiring and educating the next generation
Toys and games which help develop skills in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are hugely popular for 2021, with parents keen to help their children to learn and develop through play.

Giving children their first introduction to the world of electronics, the ‘Snap Circuits Jr. Electronics Exploration Kit’ has over 30 pieces to snap together and build real electrical circuits without the need for tools or soldering. 

Winning the Toy of the Year Award, the ThinkFun Gravity Maze Marble Run is a fun engineering and building toy helping kids to develop spatial reasoning and planning skills, using logic to problem solve.

Getting more children interested in STEM subjects from a young age not only benefits their lifelong learning and development, but there is a growing need within our modern society for people with these skills across all industries. STEM focused toys teach kids the skills which could literally change the world, be it with eco-technology solutions, or discovering life-saving cures for diseases.
