Toy Gift Ideas For the 8 to 12 Year Olds Christmas 2010

 These are some of the most popular toys and we have a couple that go up to 16 years.

Here are some ideas for buying toys for the 9 to 12 year old age group this Christmas. This is an age group that are sometimes difficult to buy for. They are growing up but are still children. I can remember wanting a baby doll when I was 10 years old. Even my mother thought I was too old and recently one of my adult daughters saw a photo of me with the doll and said "you look too old for a doll" I guess I was!

Maybe today's kids would not want to be seen with a baby doll yet they do still enjoy childish things. So here are some toys for boys and girls and you will have to be the judge of whether or not your child is too old or not old enough for any particular toy.

   

 Lego Star Wars Clone Wars
