In Tesco's today saw a new stand selling packs of
X-Factor trading cards.
These reminded me of all the card and collecting
trends that came and went, football stickers
(the gold and holographic were the most prized);
pogs; top trumps etc.
With all the technology ad media children are being exposed to younger and younger;
and reality tv shows becoming more family time than they used to be intended; it's good to see children playing children's games again
even if the topic involved has updated.
The increasing trends that are capturing children younger and younger have attracted concerns that todays children are being exposed to
too much and are growing up too fast, losing childhood, e.g. mobile phones, adult fashion trends in children, internet and social sites etc.
A yahoo news article pulled out a construction toy as the big hit this year for Christmas, and the release of Toy Story 3 has called
a return to the old classic toys of the first two films.
Are the trends changing and children's games becoming a hit with children again?
