LEGO Survey shows kids want only one thing this Christmas: LEGOs! Claim FREE Winter Elves and Santa’s Workshop Sets this November

The LEGO Group unveils what kids desire the most this Christmas. In a survey conducted in partnership with global market research firm Dynata, it was found that of the 1,100 kids from the Asia-Pacific region surveyed, those between 3-12 years old most desire gifts that can harness their creativity and expression while offering infinite ways to play.

Top of their wish list were toys that give them flexibility and freedom to play repeatedly in myriad ways (89%), while also allowing them to push the limits of their creativity (87%). The children also shared that they want toys that allow them to stretch their imaginations. While screen time has taken over both parents’ and kids’ lives, surprisingly, many kids still prefer physical toys over digital games, with close to 4 out of 5 kids surveyed choosing open-ended toys, as compared to just over half who chose digital games.

What is also of interest is that LEGO sets were desired by both boys and girls as the gift they most wanted for Christmas (70% for boys and 60% for girls). Conversely, other toys had a large disparity in the genders that chose them – 50% of boys versus 15% of girls chose toys like action figures, while 56% of girls versus 8% of boys chose toys like dolls.
