The toy market for children up to four years old was worth £793m in the last 12 months to June 2005, or 40% of the overall traditional toy market. This was one of the strongest performing categories last Christmas thanks to Pre-school Electronic Learning, with the likes of LeapPad (LeapFrog), V-Smile (Vtech) and more...

About a fifth of sales for pre-schoolers are licensed with evergreen properties Winnie the Pooh, Thomas & Friends and Bob the Builder are still expected to be topping the charts later on this year. In addition, retailers also have their eyes on Fifi and The Flowertots, from the creator of Bob the Builder and Peppa Pig.
