It's the Mastermind Hot Summer Hits Toy List!

While the kids have already started dreaming about the last day of school, parents may be concerned by the 2011 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card. The report reveals that kids are sitting idle indoors and spending over 40 hours a week in front of screens!!

To help parents keep their kids amused, energetic and alert during the summer months, the toy experts at Mastermind Toys, Canada’s leading specialty toy retailer, have been busy compiling a Hot Summer Hits List featuring a fun-filled assortment of 26 toys, including a large selection of items to keep kids active and occupied - rain or shine! All items are available at Mastermind’s 11 GTA locations and online at www.mastermindtoys.com.

Child's Life will feature each toy on the list here in this blog over the summer holidays - so check back for more great ideas for summer fun!
