Online and in the shops: toy show

Children all over the country will be making their lists, and checking them twice, tonight as they tune into The Late Late Toy Show. Top toys this year include enduring favourites, like Lego and Twister, with technology being woven in to add extra dimensions to play and reinvent classics, like the new Furby, €68.99, which re-acts intelligently to the attention it’s given and has an app down-load for even more fun.
With calls for assistance to the St Vincent de Paul up by 80% since 2009, you can ensure that every child in Ireland receives a gift on Christmas morning by joining their toy appeal; more details on www.svp.ie.
