There will be a great lineup of over 50 speakers who will share their expertise on children and the digital world. Digital toys are expected to be some of the best toys for Christmas 2021.
These include the toys to life games, which will is one of the biggest trends in 2016. The Toy To Life games are some of the best kids games for PS4 and best kids games for Xbox One.
We live in a digital age. Over the last couple of year, parents and child development experts have been worried about our app enabled world. They wonder if traditional toys are dying.
In the Anthropology of Play, this will be discussed and there is evidence that traditional toys are going nowhere. Classic preschool toys like Melissa & Doug and Brio wooden toys have experienced unprecedented growth in the last 2 years. We have seen double digit growth in the construction toy segment. More and more girls are visiting the construction toy isle. Toy Makers are taking classic toys and giving them a modern tech twist.
The event kicks off at 9:00 AM with a welcome by Tonda Bunge Seller, the president of Digital Kids Media, and Steve Pasierb, the CEO of the Toy Industry Association.
