Dinosaur seen in Crawley

Children and adults alike were dwarfed by REX the toy dinosaur at the annual Toy Fair at County Mall Shopping Centre.

“County Mall’s annual Toy Fair was a real success, with more than 300 families participating on the day,” a spokesperson for the mall said.

“Our aim was to discover this year’s must have toys, whilst providing free family friendly fun!

Crowds filled the building as REX, the mall’s resident dinosaur, made his appearances.

The stilt walking rag doll and toy soldier were also popular with visitors of all ages.

Activities including face painting and balloon modelling were a real hit and so many children enjoyed playing with the toys and reviewing their favourite products on camera.

“We’re now in the process of compiling our must have toys of the season video – as chosen by the children who attended on the day. Keep a look out on our Facebook site for top toy inspiration this Christmas!”
