Air Swimmers – this toy is going to be the biggest seller for Christmas 2011 and once you see what it can do, you’ll be amazed and want one for the adults in your house. This 4 foot giant light weight fish allow you to make the inside your home an aquarium as these radio controlled fish fly through the air.

My Keepon: a robotic toy that’s interactive as it craves attention, shows curiosity, reacts to touch and dances to the beat of any music you put on. These cute baby chick resembling robots are the electronic alternative to a cat or dog? It’s “two tennis balls high” in size and has soft yellow textured skin.

Let’s Rock! Elmo- this interactive Elmo toy comes with band instruments, a guitar, drum, tambourine and microphone. Elmo plays along with your kids who form the band!

Fijjit Friend – Another interactive robot, but this one has four different personalities to choose from. This bright purple electronic toy has curly antennas. “Kids can choose from – and collect – Willa, the trend-setter; Logan, the sporty one; Sage, who has a sense of adventure; and Serafina, the sweetie-pie. Just squeezing their tummies, poking their sides or saying one of 30 commands can make a Fijit Friend spring to life.” It dances to music and has 150 built-in phrases.

The Trash Pack Garbage Truck – This is a garbage truck that comes with trash, some of which feels gross to touch. The truck is a home for over 10 disgusting but loveable characters. The characters are called “Trashies” and this is their home!

Monster High Cheerleaders – These fashion dolls are monsters, Draculaura and Cleo de Nile and Ghoulia. Scary looking fashion models!

Skylanders – Skylanders - Spyro’s “Adventure lets gamers bring their toys to life when they place their action figures on the “Portal of Power,” instantly teleporting characters into a video game world. Players can then complete adventures, collect surprises and more that will be retained when their character leaves the game world.”

LeapPad Explorer - Kids can read books, play educational games and even take pictures with their own device that resembles today’s best-selling tablets.

Poppin Park Elefun – This toy is for babies who are just learning to crawl; the elephant pops balls all over for the kids to crawl after. While tossing the balls across the room, it makes fun sounds for the kids.

Air Hogs Hyper Actives -This gravity defying remote control car can reach speeds of 20 mph.
Lalaoopsy Dolls- These dolls have magical twisty hair that let’s your little one style it in many different ways.

Moshi Monsters – these are an old favorite, but are still popular this year. These tiny pocket size monsters interact online!

All these toys are available at Toys R Us, both in the store and online.
