The 2020 superhero Playmakers Amazon Australia has revealed its top 100

toys and the toy trends of 2020 with the help of its official toy testers: the Amazon Playmakers. The Amazon Playmakers are twelve superhero children from across the country, chosen by the Starlight Children’s Foundation, and recruited by Amazon.com.au as official toy testers for the festive season.

The Amazon Playmakers have helped review this year’s top 100 toys, giving their expert toy opinions to help Aussies with their holiday shopping, and giving back to the Starlight Children’s Foundation in the process.

About the Toy Catalogue For every toy purchased that features in the Amazon Playmakers toy catalogue over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Events (27 November – 30 November), Amazon Australia will donate $5 to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. In addition, $40,000 worth of toys, games, crafts and gift cards will be donated to the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Amazon Australia is excited to unite twelve kids, recognised as true superheroes of 2020, to be Amazon Playmakers and official toy testers for the festive season. Here we have:

“We are pleased to be able to deliver smiles to the Starlight Children’s Foundation and the superhero children involved in this year’s Amazon Playmakers initiative.

5. Rise of the kidult:

In a year where Australians spent more time at home than ever before, toys and games grew in popularity amongst family and friends as a way to connect with one another and have some fun at home.

Amazon.com.au has revealed the toy trends of 2020 just in time for the holidays!

The super toys for play and development, STEM and tech toys continue to experience growth as parents seek to make learning at home as fun as playtime.

Click, slide, build and create. Hands-on toys like LEGO and jigsaw puzzles, and arts and crafts, are creative hobbies for kids and adults, providing Aussies with a satisfying sense of accomplishment and way to unwind.

Classic family and kids’ games offer a sense of familiarity and nostalgic fun. Games like Monopoly, Jenga, Barbie Dreamhouse and UNO all feature in the Amazon Playmakers Toy Catalogue this year.

This year, silver screen icons came to life in our homes as popular toys. From meme icon Baby Yoda, beloved children’s character Hedwig, to 2020’s favourite dog Bluey, children can now play with their on-screen idols at home.

2020 was a year that gave adults the permission to unleash their inner kid as we stayed (and played) at home. From thrilling games like Unstable Unicorns and Exploding Kittens, to test how well you know your friends and family, to exciting challenges like Catan to flex your mental muscle, the top 100 toys are for the big kids as much as for the ‘actual’ kids.

About the Starlight Children’s Foundation

- Louise Baxter, Chief Executive Officer of Starlight.

The Starlight Children’s Foundation brightens the lives of seriously ill children and their families. In a year of change and challenges, the Starlight children are truly our everyday superheroes and the foundation, in partnership with Amazon Australia, is committed to helping the kids forget about their illness and experience the joy of toys and childhood.

Since 1988, the Starlight Children’s Foundation has partnered with Australian health professionals to develop programs based on positive psychology principles that support ‘total care’ and respond to the specific needs of Aussie kids and teens.

“Starlight relies on the community for support, and last year, the Amazon Playmakers initiative had such a positive impact on so many Starlight families across the country. This year has been especially challenging for our families as they juggle treatment and a time of change.

We’ve seen how much joy and positive distraction the toys bring to the kids and families, often at a time when they need it most. At Starlight we know that happiness is integral to a sick child’s development, so we’re thrilled to be part of this fantastic initiative again this year.”

“Being a toy tester

is super! Toys make

everyone happy

and they can save

the day.”

- Anabela, age 6
