Summary
COI synopsis: Held regularly at Brighton in southern England, the British Toy Fair attracts buyers from all over the world who come to see the vast range of toys on show. It is hard to decide what children will want but one thing is certain - British toy makers provide enough alternatives. There are walking dolls, radio controlled boats, scale model racing cars, cranes you build yourself, over one hundred and fifty different puppets - and lots of other fascinating products.
