Flying fish, wild haired dolls, and a singing, drum beating elmo. Those are just some of the toys your kids are going to be asking for this Christmas.
Sesame Street's is once again on the hot list for the holiday season with Sing With Me Elmo. He not only sings, he also plays the drums.
And whether or not you're musically inclined, you can also jam with him. Toys R Us is showing what will likely be flying off the shelves. And speaking of flying, there are the helium filled fish balloons called Air Swimmers. Just like real fish, they use their fins and tail for steering, except they're up in the air.
"It's with a simple remote control with radio dials on it, even kids can do it," Toys R Us store manager Dave Palmer said.
Toys R Us worked with vendors and marketing experts to see what will be popular. And in many cases they're going with the tried and true.
Dolls are still hot sellers, like the Barbie gone bad set called Monster High Dolls.
"They've got great names like Draculara, Cleo Denile, and Ghoula Yelps," Palmer said.
But if you want to go by name, you might was well get the Lalaloopsy Silly Hair Doll.
"You can make her hair do whatever you want, she has all sorts of beautiful accessories that you can put on, and if the doll's not enough she even has a pet mouse that she can play with." Palmer said.
For the really young ones, less than a year old, there's the Topsy Turvy Tumblers, because it has lots of sound and moving parts.
"There it goes around and around, down to the popping part of the ramp, and boom boom boom," Palmer said.
And the remote controlled cars by Air Hogs are still popular. Although this year, they're smaller for higher speed and more daring stunts.
