•Kids vs. Moms
We mentioned how the Younger Kids’ Tracker is fun to analyze. One
reason is because we get to compare the data from kids 5-7 to what
moms of kids 5-7 say. The numbers below will help you understand
how both groups will find the items that will end up on their holiday
wish lists.

Note: In these closed-ended questions, kids had the option to choose
‘magazine’, while moms did not. While this, of course, had an impact
on the data, we believe it would have proven relatively small.
Although there’s a difference in the way we worded each question
they get at essentially the same thing - where kids and moms learn
about new toys/games. As you can see, their responses are almost
identical in using TV as the #1 source (≈35%), while in the #2 spot
they symbiotically rely on each other (≈24%).
KidSay believes these numbers downplay the importance of TV.
After all, if that’s the overall #1 source of new toy information, we’re
confident it’s also the #1 source for the family and friends who provide
new toy information.
•1998 Redux? (p. 61)
Hasbro hopes 2012 will be a flash from their Furby past. They’ll
have to rely heavily on marketing in order to expose this generation
to the new generation of Furby. That’s not only a common sense
understanding; we see this in the 46% of kids who give a Cool Chart
response of “don’t know what it is”.
While we probably won’t ask 5-7 year
olds to rank Furby anytime soon,
we’re sure Hasbro’s aggressive
multi-pronged marking campaign
will change that reality. Whether the
Furby can be THE gift of this holiday
season remains to be seen.

kid
with America’s youngest
Nintendo’s DS systems have always been THE popular portable
game device with America’s youngest kids. They still are, with 69% of
5 - 7 year-olds telling us they have one. And that’s no surprise.
What is surprising is the speed with which Apple’s iPad has become
the #2 device. 1 out of every 3 kids (33%) report having one. That’s
two and a half times the number who said the same last year (13%).
There are a number of reasons why:
1.
The device is fun, portable, and intuitively easy to use and thus
ideal for young kids
2.
The release of the iPad 2 greatly increased the ‘pass down’
rate of the original iPad
Qualitative talks with moms and kids tell us that the iPad (much
like a home computer) is seen as a ‘family device’ more so
than an individual’s private device (such as cell phone or iPod touch).
Thus, if a family has one, the kid has one.
3.
If you needed further evidence of the spread of portable game devices
(particularly Apple devices), here it is:

Their Phone - Where Phone?
After years of growth, the number of kids who say
they play games on a parent’s phone has stabilized
(2012- 69%, 2011 – 66%). The number of games
they play on those phones has also stabilized. (See
page 23) It’s the games they play that have changed
(besides Angry Birds! ), with special attention to the ‘ Where’s My…? ’
games. (see p.24)
KidSurge
These games, published by Disney Mobile, have helped reinforce
other Disney properties (as in ‘ Where’s My Perry? ’ which uses
Perry the Platypus from Disney’s ‘Phineas & Ferb’ show). They’ve
also created new ones (‘Where’s My Water?’ launched Swampy, an
alligator who was the first original Disney character created for a
mobile game.)3

•Their Wired Room
Over the past decade we’ve talked a lot about the ‘passing down’ of
technology. We first brought it to your attention with digital cameras
when it became a no-brainer for parents to hand down to their kids the
1.3 megapixel camera they owned when the AMAZING 2.5 megapixel
version came out.
Cell phones were next, as many parents, when they received a new
phone when they upgraded at the end of a contract, became a hero to
their kids with a hand-me-down phone.
Of all the data we show at customized presentations, the information
that consistently elicits the biggest murmurs of surprise is the amount
of electronic devices kids 5-7 have in their room.
Here are the numbers, ones that have been validated not only by
sound methodology but also through years of consistent results:

That practice is now extending to tablets and, currently to a greater
extent, the smartphone. And young kids don’t mind. They give “getting
your parents’ hand-me-down phone” a 61% ‘Totally Way Cool’ top box
ranking in our Younger Kids Cool Chart. (see p.56)
Note: The cognitive limitations of younger kids, requires that we adjust
the way we ask our Cool Chart questions. With younger kids we scrap
our regular 5 pt. scale and use a 3 pt. scale. The interviewer shows the
kids corresponding ‘face’ pictures in order to facilitate understanding.

Note the disparity between boys and girls regarding music
players (radio and cd player). The numbers show that it’s as young
as the ages of 5-7 that girls exhibit their greater affinity for music.
This trait will carry over into their tween and early teen years. It’s only
in the mid-to-late teenage years that boys become as passionate
(if not more so) than girls about music and musicians.

Game systems are the electronic devices that generate the
biggest gender driven disparity. Regular Tracker readers (and
those that follow other sources of kid information) know that, while
girls like to play video games, for boys it’s their raison d’être. The
numbers above indicate that this has clearly taken hold by the time
kids are 5-7.
Doing By Themselves - Doing With Friends
The preference that boys have for video games is demonstrated in
their responses to many other Tracker questions. Two of them are
from our “When you are at home, what is your favorite thing to do…?”

Let’s take a look at the gender differences in the activities kids want to
engage in when at home.

Annoying Orange
Rated: TV-PG
Annoyed yet…..? You might be but young boys aren’t. It’s 3% of six year olds (primarily
boys) who for the first time mention ‘Annoying Orange’ (or more formally known as ‘ The High
Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange’) as their favorite TV show. It’s rude, ridiculous,
and obnoxiously hilarious! Now fans can enjoy two, 11 minute, back-to-back episodes from
the comfort of their couch and it’s all thanks to Cartoon Network , and its creators Dane
Boedigheimer (the creator of the Annoying Orange Web series) and Tom Sheppard (Emmy
Award-winning writer for Pinky and the Brain).4, 5 The show based on the popular web series,
premiered mid-June this year appropriately airing after ‘Regular Show’. 4

Power Rangers is appearing for the first time (in our ‘Young Kids
Tracker’) as boys’ favorite show to watch with their family. (#3-4%) It
is also debuting for the first time in every age segment for ‘favorite TV

In June of 2011, Netflix added all completed seasons of the show to
its’ instant streaming inventory and currently offers 18 full seasons.10
Page 54 of our “Cool Chart” reveals that 72% of kids (who know what
it is) view watching shows on websites such as Netflix, Hulu , and
Youtube, as being ‘Totally Way Cool’.

The franchise has morphed and entertained young kids for almost two
decades. Since the shows original debut in August 1993 the franchise
has hit the big screen twice and has aired 19 television seasons with
its’ 20th season (Power Rangers Megaforce) announced for 2013.6, 7
The show newly began airing on Nickelodeon in 2011.8 The second
half of 2011’s series (Power Rangers Samurai), is also currently airing
on Nickelodeon and is subtitled Power Rangers Super Samurai .9 As
you can see in the chart below the popularity of the TV show has
dramatically increased with young boys beginning 2011.
While we can’t say for sure without further investigation, the recent
spike in interest may be attributed to the shows new networking
position at Nickelodeon and/or a result of its’ new instant viewing
capability on Netflix.

Levi Age 7 - Midwest
For his KidSay shop-along, Levi wanted to spend his $50 at Target. This is where
he loves checking out the toy and electronic aisles. His plan was to find a new game
for his Nintendo DS. With that in mind, he headed toward the electronics. He got
distracted by a Lego Ninjago set on the way but decided to keep his original plan
and save his money for DS games.
Arriving in the electronics department, Levi began his search for Skylanders.
Concluding that he and his brothers already owned all of the figures, he turned his
attention to Nintendo DS games. The first game he picked up was Wreck-It Ralph.
And he realized that a ‘buy 2, get 1 free’ promotion would score him an extra game.
"I saw the movie and Wreck-It Ralph is awesome•", Levi proclaimed.

With friends: “We like to play house and [play] pretend.”
Favorite video game: “Man that’s a hard one...but I guess Batman 2
[on Xbox] because there’s superheroes that aren’t even Batman...
even Superman! I like superheroes.”
Best Toy: “My Imaginext Superman and Thor...because they can
both fly and you can make them crash and stuff. So I pretend with

Shopping
Levi likes to shop with his mom at Target because there’s
so much there for him too. His most favorite store is Best
Buy. “I like it because it’s only game-type stuff and I love
games. They also have Nintendo 3DS XLs there.” When
Levi wants to shop for something specific, it’s usually
something he saw on a commercial.

About 40% of Tracker kids are satisfied with their
current contribution to the environment. And Disney’s
conservation efforts inspire kids and adults alike. According
to Disney’s Conservation Report, “Conservation and the
environment are a rich part of our history and a key focus
of our present and future. Respect for our planet and the
creatures who share it with us has always been a part of what
makes Disney, Disney.” Said Disney cofounder Walt Disney,
“I have learned from the animal world, and what everyone will
learn who studies it is a renewed sense of kinship with the
Earth and all its inhabitants.” 6

Furby 2012 is back in time for the holidays. The original
Furby was the hot holiday toy of the late 1990s. Hasbro has
re-invented Furby: You can feed it via an interactive app. And
Furbys develop personalities based on how you treat them
(purr and wiggle or become angry). 11 The new Furby pins
its ears back when surprised or yawning, and has LCD eyes
to convey a range of emotions with pixel animation. Most
obviously redesigned is the addition of an interactive tail. 12
