A recent survey has revealed that most people would prefer to keep their old toys rather than make money by selling them. Early years childcare provider Busy Bees carried out a poll with 2,000 respondents, revealing that 65% are planning to pass their loved toys on to children and grandchildren, while 47% of parents and grandparents have no intention of selling them.
The research was aimed at working out how toys and the manner in which children play with them have developed forty years on from when Busy Bees opened their first nursery in 1983.
Some of the most popular toys that parents and grandparents keep include LEGO, Barbie and Hotwheels, which are also the three most searched toys in the UK each month, with 658,000, 105,000 and 57,000 people looking for them online per month, respectively.
