The Biggest Big Book of Toys Helps Kids Make Their Wish List and Share It with Santa

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, kids everywhere will be mesmerized once they open the Toys"R"Us Biggest Big Book and find the incredible selection of toys waiting inside. As the ultimate guide to everything a child might desire for the holidays, the Biggest Big Book makes it easy for kids to let Santa know what they dream of receiving on Christmas morning. Next to each item in the Biggest Big Book, a space is provided for kids to make their mark, letting everyone know which toys have made their list.

To help children navigate the hundreds of items available, the Biggest Big Book features an easy-to-use "Toy Finder" system, which categorizes items on pages that are color-coded by themes, such as Preschool, Creative Toys, Dolls & Dollhouses, Action & Adventure, Outdoor & Wheels, Music & Electronics and Video Games. This added element makes it simple for kids to find the toys they like, while offering parents entire categories of options for every child on their list.

After kids pick the gifts they wish to receive, parents can share their child's must-have presents by using the new, in-store Toys"R"Us Wish List(TM). This complimentary service lets parents and kids create a tailored list of toys based not only on what the child wants, but on their age, interests and abilities. Parents and kids can take the Biggest Big Book to a Toys"R"Us store to scan their holiday selections into a Wish List that can be shared with family, friends or even Santa over email or at in-store registry kiosks. Wish Lists can also be created, updated and maintained online at Toysrus.com/WishList.
