My children don't watch much television, at least compared to their friends and peers at school. So when we visit the local toy store and they see the most recent television advertised goods there is commonly a sense of curiosity but little more.
Unlike children who watch television they have been largely unexposed to the advertisements and television shows designed to sell toys. Toys that come and as passing trends tend to require a large advertising allocation to cement their motion to children and once children have them, the interest is often sustained only straight through the ongoing television show or advertising campaign (often one in the same).
Lego
Toys that naturally motion to children have often been colse to for decades already and were no doubt played with by their parents. Toys like Lego, Playmobil, Calico Critters (Sylvanian Families) and Schleich are often well known to a few generations of adults, even if they are unable to state the brand name, because they have all been active in the toy shop for over 40 years.
The suspect these toys have survived straight through generations of change and competition is that they have established a build structure that kids love, regardless of their generation, one that allows kids to imprint their own imagination onto the toy because they come unburdened by trend based stories that move in and out of fashion. If you look at most television advertisements directed at children today, the large majority of those toys will not be colse to in the next year or so.
Playmobil, Lego, Calico Critters and Schleich toys have all excelled at spellbinding to children in their own unique way for many years. Lego appeals because it is a uncomplicated construction toy that children can use to make a range of pre established sets or whatever their imagination can envisage.
Playmobil offers children ways to interact with role playing using uncomplicated figures and a large range of play sets and vehicles from contemporary, historical and fantasy environments.
Schleich designs a life like range of animals, including dinosaurs each year that kids love. These animals can be played with in a range of settings and can be mixed with other toys.
Calico Critters has designed a gorgeous range of cute anthropomorphic animals that live in a natural, forest environment. Children can make up stories about these animals and use them to role play actions and feelings they may have experienced.
All the toys mentioned in this description are as physically durable as they are long continuing in the eyes of children, and only one, Lego, advertises on television. It is no wonder then, that they continue to motion to children while other trend based toys come and go.
