Starlight’s Top Toy Testers reveal the Top 100 Toys for Christmas

What to buy the discerning toy aficionado in your life can be a Christmas conundrum. This year some very talented kids known as The Amazon Playmakers, ten kids selected by the Starlight Children’s Foundation, not only tested and defined the top 100 toys for this Christmas they made a short film too.

The Playmakers were given a new role and a chance to let their imaginations run wild by
creating a stop-motion movie featuring some of the toys from the top 100 holiday toy list. The
Playmakers were asked to create characters behind the toys; a plot which the toys would star in; and the
dialogue to share the joy of the holidays and deliver smiles to children across Australia.

The Playmakers themselves are the voices behind the characters including a somewhat mischievous Interactive Mama guinea pig and a naughty pirate from The TOMY Pop Up Pirate Action Game (12% off now $15) .

The best time to fill your loved ones stockings with some of these amazing playmaker tested toys is right now. With Black Friday sales on for the coming week, there has never been a better time to bag a bargain.

Here are some of my Hot Picks from the top 100 playmaker toys.

(Amazon is donating $1 up too $45k for every playmaker toy sold).
