Tech v screen-free toys: What do you prefer?

With just over two months to go until Christmas, we want to know whether you'd rather unwrap some tech or screen-free toys under the tree.

Some toy shops are predicting that screen-free toys will be much more popular this year.

They think that families are buying more old-school toys, with some supermarkets starting to stock wooden toys ahead of the festive season.

So what do you think? Do you like playing with more traditional toys, or are toys with screens more fun?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Two big UK toy shops, The Entertainer and Smyths, have predicted a comeback for screen-free toys.

The Entertainer's buying director Geoff Sheffield says: "Screens are naturally a big part of children's lives in today's world, but there's still a real desire for toys that offer something different."

And Smyth's European marketing director Sinead Byrne adds that "games and creative toys" are popular in 2026, "from hands-on drawing and craft sets to laugh-out-loud family games."

Supermarket Aldi has recently released a range of over 50 wooden toys too.

But what would you prefer - screen-free toys or tech? Let us know!
