Walmart, America’s largest seller of toys, teamed up with the experts in toys – kids – to announce its annual holiday top toy list today. Walmart brought together 1,000 kids ages 18 months to 10 years to test, play with, and help select the top toys for the season. Timed with the “Chosen by Kids” top toy list unveiling, Walmart has rolled back prices on hundreds of dolls, action figures, ride-on toys and more.
Walmart’s “Chosen by Kids” top toys list 2013 features newcomers and classic favorites. New toys topping the list include the VTech Go! Go! Smart Wheels Train Station Playset, Sofia the First Talking Doll and Animal Friends and the Flutterbye Flying Fairy Doll. When it comes to the classics, the Barbie Dreamhouse is expected to be a favorite among girls, marking the fifth straight year a Barbie product has landed on Walmart’s top toy list. A Furby product made the list for the second consecutive year. And, Elmo returns to the list with the new Big Hugs toy.
“We are taking the guesswork out of customers’ holiday toy shopping by turning to kids to tell us what the real top toys are,” said Scott McCall, senior vice president of toys and seasonal at Walmart U.S. “Kids told us they want interactive toys as well as classic brands. After hearing this feedback, we did what we do best. We made price investments to offer absolutely great savings on these holiday toys and more for our customers.”

It is almost that time of year to start getting all the toys for my nieces and my kids.
Love the Furby boom!
Good, fun choices. I love looking at all the toys. I’ve always liked Little People and Elmo so it was good to see them on the list. Sophia the First and the FuRReal friends both have lots of products and seem to be very popular. Good timing with Christmas knocking on our door.
Good to know. Now I can buy for my nieces and nephews and be hip.

That was a great idea for Walmart to do that….very helpful for parents and relatives who have no idea what to get
Great list! My son will turn 4 in November and I have no clue what to get him. This gave me a few ideas.
