“At Amazon, our team truly live for the joy that toys bring to children, whether that’s delivered by the adorable Squishmallow Tally The Grey Cat plushie or through family fun in the form of Pictionary Air Star Wars,” said Matthew Redfearn, Toys Category Leader at Amazon UK.

“In a year where less is more for many families, we are offering options for all tastes and budgets this season, including tens of thousands of toys under £20 across Amazon, so our customers can find that perfect gift this Christmas. We want everyone to have the chance to experience the happiness that playtime brings, so hundreds of this year’s top 10 toys will also be donated and delivered by Amazon UK and Barnardo’s to vulnerable children across the UK.”

They'll have hours of fun pushing the recycling truck with flashing lights around the house. We love that it features a removable roof, two rubbish collectors, two bins, a container, and much more. Just make sure you leave enough time to assemble it on Christmas Day so your kids can help you clean up the wrapping paper.

I bought it on a deal after looking at them for months but having used it now, I’d definitely pay full price for it."

Description

Are your kids obsessed with animals? Do they love horses? If the answer is yes, then they will love creating their very own LEGO Friends Horse Shoe Trailer. This set features two horses, an SUV car, and riding accessories.

One parent reviewer said, "My daughter loved this build, there are a lot of interactive parts to it so it really extends the play and kept my daughter's interest. It is quite a big build but simple so can be completed quickly if the child is a focused builder. It took my daughter about an afternoon. Overall she really enjoyed the set though."

How cute is this Squishmallows Plush Toy? As well as being adorable, this gift will provide hours of fun with pretend play ideas like shop or tea parties. It is also great for bedtime as it will comfort your little one if they have a bad dream.

One grandparent reviewer said, "Bought this Squishmellow for my grandchildren - daughter and I bought a few Squishmallows for the rest of my grandchildren and they loved them."

Pictionary Air Star Wars Family Drawing Game
Price: $16.97

Description

Big and small Star Wars fans will come together this Christmas to defeat Darth Vader with their Jedi drawing skills. ​"May the Force be with you."

One parent reviewer said, "This game is brilliant for anyone who loves Star Wars. I'm not one of them, unfortunately, so I have to admit that I found this frustrating and confusing but my kids and niece who love Star Wars have had so much fun playing this and it has kept them occupied for hours over the summer holiday. It is easy enough to set up and if you have Apple TV then you can even have it on your television, but if not then you will need a smartphone or tablet to play this. It is clever and lots of fun, it has been great to hear the laughter as this has been played."

Is your child in their dinosaur phase? Bring the prehistoric world of the dinosaurs into the 21st century with this Jurassic World Ocean Protector Mosasaurus Dinosaur. Honestly, it's amazing how realistic this toy is!

What we love most is that hundreds of toys from Amazon’s Top Ten Toys list will also be donated and delivered by Amazon UK and long-time partner Barnardo’s to vulnerable children across the UK. This will help spread a little joy during the festive season.

Barnardo’s CEO, Lynn Perry MBE, said, “We work with some of the UK’s most vulnerable children. Every day, Barnardo’s workers are supporting children, young people and families having to choose between eating or paying the bills. For many children, Christmas can be a time of feeling cold, hungry and left out and it’s through working with partners like Amazon that we can continue to support families who are struggling, maybe now more than ever. Through Amazon’s welcome donation, our services will be able to distribute this year’s most popular toys to some of the most disadvantaged children this Christmas.”
