Rainbow Loom Rubber Band Bracelets

Rainbow Loom rubber band bracelet kits are among the most popular kid's toys, especially for girls.  Several different types of looms are available, including the Crazy Loom, Fun Loom, and the aforementioned Rainbow Loom.  These looms create rubber band bracelets with practically infinite design combinations.  It is an affordable, fun, and socially engaging toy that kids have very recently been going crazy over all around the country.  For these reasons, the Rainbow Loom was awarded first place. 

Lego

Lego toys are still as popular as ever and, for that reason, Lego was chosen for second place.  Much like the Rainbow Loom, these toys help kids use their creativity and imagination to build something fun with their friends.  During Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2013, there will be several Lego themed products available, such as Lego Minecraft, Lego Friends, Marvel Superheroes Edition, and even a Lego Advent Calendar.  

Wii U

The Wii U, when compared to the PS4 ("Playstation 4") and the Xbox One, may not seem to be the most popular toy this holiday season.  However, the Wii U is a clear winner for younger kids interested in video games.  It offers more interaction for children and has many more games tailored to a younger audience.  For example, the toy-based video games appearing on the honorable mentions list, Disney Infinity and Skylanders Swap Force, are very popular among youngsters at the moment.  Additionally, the Wii U is less expensive than the PS4 and the Xbox One.  For these reasons, the Wii U earned the third place award.

Honorable Mentions

Since there are so many popular kid's toys currently on the market, a list of "honorable mentions" was created for the items that did not win an award but are still good options worth considering nonetheless.  The honorable mentions list includes toys such as the Barbie Dream House, Disney Infinity, Furby Boom, Doc McStuffins Check Up Center, Skylanders Swap Force, American Girl, Crazy Cart, and Nerf.

The Cyber Week Awards: Kid's Toys - About

Toy deals for kids are often overlooked during Black Friday and Cyber Monday because the focus tends to be on items such as HDTVs, cameras, tablet computers, or other electronics devices that are tailored to adult consumers.  As a result, the Cyber Week Awards decided to honor the top three most popular kid's toys this year. 

The Cyber Week Awards is dedicated to recognizing the most popular products and deals during Cyber Week 2013, which includes Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.  By scouring the internet for recent search trends and new online deals, Cyber Week Awards is able to locate some of the holiday shopping season's best products and deals for the visitors to its website.
