Christmas is approaching slowly, but surely. While the Christmas gift shopping period is already underway, and your child is no doubt carefully refining his Santa list, we take stock of the major trends in the toy sector in 2024.

Responsible gaming

Buy, okay, but buy useful and responsible: this has become a criterion when doing your Christmas shopping! This pushes items made in France and for which quality, durability and eco-design take precedence to the forefront of sales.

For example ? Bioviva games, designed in Montpellier and manufactured in Drôme Provençale, of which more than 12 million copies have been sold since 1996. In the Défis Nature Protect tournament (from 7 years old), children set off to discover the animals of the world and fights to defend biodiversity. The concept? Bet on the strengths of your animals to win battles and protect them. If you succeed in defending an endangered species, you earn extra points!

Through its Protect program, the Bioviva foundation supports protection and awareness projects for the ten endangered species present in the game. For example, by fighting against the poaching of the Bengal tiger and by creating water reservoirs, on the field, in India.

“Cult” games

Among the major trends for 2024, find games and toys from cult films like ET the extraterrestrial, Scream or Back to the futurechez Goliath.

Toys, board games, imagination games, construction games, educational games or video games… Find Disney heroines and heroes like Moana, the happy gang from the Lion King or Marvel, Stitch, Mickey or Rapunzel.

Costumes, soft toys, figurines and dolls will make you relive the adventures of all these characters, without forgetting the Star Wars epic.

As for figurines, Schleich offers a Harry Potter Advent calendar as well as a beautiful Horse Club for horse riding enthusiasts, Mattel is launching the T-Rex from Jurassic World and the singing Elsa doll to relive the most beautiful moments of the Snow Queen.

And for those nostalgic for Goscinny and Uderzo, discover the “Asterix: Caesar and the die-hard Gauls” box set in special edition (from 5 years old). On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of Asterix and the 50th anniversary of Playmobil, find ten emblematic characters from the famous Adventures of Asterix the Gaul, including Julius Caesar and the irresistible dog Dogmatix.

Imagination, creativity and gentleness

Another sure value that is on the rise: creative hobbies! Drawing, beads, cosmetics, photography, perfumes… The field of possibilities is endless for manual activities, whether at Nathan, King Cadeau (with the Creamania brand) or Silverlit which, for example, offers a Spirograph to create your own jewelry.

New from Crayola (Goliath), the Pop’s 3D coloring kit allows you to construct drawings in relief and in poster format (from 6 years old). This creative box with 12 3D activities is on the theme of animals, with characters, decorations and sticker sheets!

At Sentosphere, discover Colorizzy, Aquarellum, Patarev modeling clay, Sablimage sand paintings or even the cyanotype workshop box around a herbarium.

Finally, for toddlers, many childcare items allow baby to be supported and awakened. In particular the sets of Sophie la Girafe from Vulli (a brand which also offers a tactile awareness course) and the magnificent Pabobo projector night lights, a gift full of sweetness to take your first steps with complete peace of mind.
