CHILDREN have had their say about what the top toy for Christmas this year is, after testing session were held at a Winchester shopping centre.

The Brooks Shopping Centre, in Winchester city centre, has been holding the Santa's Toy Testers events on Saturdays over the past month, with more Christmas fun yet to come.

Overall, the children voted the remote-controlled cars, Play Doh and the Pie Face board game as their favourites from the items provided by The Entertainer toy shop and Waterstones.

The Brooks will be putting on more festive events this weekend as children can transform into one of Santa’s Little Helpers at the Elf Yourself workshop on Saturday, December 16. That will be followed by festive face painting on Saturday, December 23.

Both events will take place between 10am and 4pm.
