A pair of Livingston twins bagged the job of a lifetime as toy testers for Santa.
Daniel and Harris (4) took up their new roles as toy testers The Centre, Livingston, to help road test some of the top Christmas toys this year.
The boys, who were invited to the boardroom in the mall, were kitted out in official toy testing lab coats and got straight to work rating each toy on a fun factor score sheet.
On the list of toys tested from The Entertainer, located in the shopping centre included Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Ultimate Ice Cream Truck Playset, Squishmallows Doxl the Frog soft toy, Little Live Pets Mama Surprise! Guinea Pigs, LEGO DUPLO Santa’s Gingerbread House and Bleu Family Home Playset.
And some of the top scoring toys included Imaginext Jurassic World Dominion - Pyroraptor Dinosaur Figure, Pittar Patter Pets ‘Dance with me Dinosaur’, Spidey Vehicle and Figure, Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Goo Shifters - Blazagon Figure and Paw Patrol’s Marshall Rescue Truck Figure and Vehicle.
As a thank you for their exceptional toy testing skills the boys were treated to breakfast in the boardroom and invited to choose their favourite toy to take home.
Ashley Bisland, Deputy Centre Director at The Centre, said: “Our latest recruits at The Centre, Livingston, Daniel and Harris, really excelled themselves in their new role as official toy testers for us this year.
“The four year olds, kitted out in official lab coats, embraced their dream roles, giving us a rundown of each toy’s playability and fun factor, with the Paw Patrol truck and Spidey car, both with action figures, as definite firm favourites.”
Craig Lowe, Events Co-ordinator at The Entertainer, which runs regular toy testing sessions, said: “Daniel and Harris did a great job as toy testers, which is every child’s dream job.
“It’s no surprise that the Imaginext and Paw Patrol toys made it to the top of their list, and also the ‘Dance with me Dinosaur’ where kids can take the dino for a walk with a lead, whilst wiggling and dancing to music - which seems to be a big hit with adults too.”
