Britain’s Preschoolers Flock to Buy Timmy Toys A lovable little lamb seems to have captured the hearts of the nation’s under fives and is now tipped for top-selling Christmas success according to toy retailers and latest toy sales figures. Timmy Time toys based on the phenomenally popular TV series created by Aardman, (makers of the much loved Wallace & Gromit and critically acclaimed Shaun the Sheep), and currently showing on CBeebies, are proving a sell-out success.  Says Jez Fraser-Hook of NPD. “Timmy is the fastest growing new pre-school and plush combined property for August and all the signs are that this trend is set to gain momentum as we speed towards Christmas.”
Stuart Grant, Buying Director of The Entertainer toy store group and TheToyShop.com concurs: “We have just ordered another container load of Timmy Time toys, to try and keep pace with demand and avoid disappointment this Christmas. Vivid’s Timmy Time toy range provides a great combination of fun and creative toys that perfectly capture the essence of the TV show. We’re expecting Timmy to be at the top of every toddlers’ wish list!”
The Timmy Time toy range includes something for everyone from huggable soft Night Night Timmy to the Nursery Playset where little ones can recreate Timmy’s nursery antics . And with a whole range of different prices there’s no need to feel fleeced!
Timmy Time is the first Aardman pre-school series especially created for boys, girls…and animals! With fun, lovable characters and positive themes throughout including friendship, trust, sharing and creative play the TV show focuses on a cheerful little lamb, Timmy, and his friends and the trials and tribulations of all the furry, feathered and spiky little ones at nursery school.
Jackie Cockle, producer of Timmy Time, believes both the TV series and the toys are proving so popular because they focus on the engaging exploration of nursery life which every preschool aged boy and girl can relate to. Of the toy range she says: “The creativity and attention to detail reflect the values we were striving for in every aspect of the show and are of the highest quality. No wonder children absolutely adore these toys.”
Sounds like we’re heading for a baaaarilliant Christmas……!!
