BURLINGTON KIDS TOP TOYS THIS CHRISTMAS

Top Toys this Christmas for Burlington Kids is a list compiling the popular items we’ve seen and are sure your children will love!

Christmas shopping is exciting, we choose toys for our children and imagine the big smiles coming to their faces on Christmas morning. Every year there are new and exciting inventions, and 2014 is no exception! We’ve looked through the toys hitting the top of popular charts and we’ve marked down the ones we think will bring the most fun for kids ages 13-18.

Teens can be tricky to shop for! They lose interest in their old toys and can be easily bored. We’ve made sure to choose items that will capture their interest and keep them busy. View the full list here.

You won’t want to miss the main event, President’s Choice SuperDogs! The adorable acrobats will amaze you with their tricks, high-jumping and pole-weaving through obstacles, and playing Frisbee, hockey, and more! The show is guaranteed entertainment for the whole family, giving audiences of all ages a reason to laugh, love and cheer for man’s best friend. Did you know that over 40% of the SuperDogs have been adopted from Shelters or Humane Societies across North America? And when they aren’t performing, they’re personal pets! Lucky pups.

Mississauga Kids is delighted to have Q-Mack as the event host. His high energy performance will captivate kids and parents alike. The show includes dazzling basketball tricks, juggling, magic, balancing acts and features Canadian Beatboxing Champion, J-BOX, the master of 300 sound effects!

Children will have hours of fun in the Kids Zone, complete with bouncy castles, crafts, games, magic, characters, face painting, and more. Each of the vendor tables will have an interactive activity for children to enjoy while parents connect with the local business.

Fair favourites, such as pop corn and cotton candy, will be available for purchase.

Mississauga Kids has partnered with local charitable organization, Breakfast With Santa Foundation and will donate a portion of proceeds to their summer breakfast program. This program feeds hungry children breakfast during the summer months when school is out.

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES IN BURLINGTON

Burlington activities and events come to life this Christmas season to light families up with holiday cheer. As we roll into winter, the children look forward to spending special time with their loved ones during festive events. The holidays bring warm celebrations with Santa, holiday shows, religious services and lots of fun and games! Winter snow invites us to bear the cold and hit the slopes or outdoor rink, make a snow man, and delight in the white fluffy coating that brightens the chilly night.

We look forward to sharing special time with the people dearest to us, bonding over the good cheer. Some of our neighbours may not celebrate Christmas, or any holiday tradition, but it is important to be respectful of everyone’s beliefs and welcome them to share in your cheer. This is also a good time to teach your children about values like compassion, giving and sharing.

As always, we’ve found plenty going on as early as November. Look through family shows, outdoor activities, concerts, parades, and much more.
