  • By CompiledSara Steindorf

The online toy business is expected to grow sharply during the next few years. The current market leader, eToys, is expected to keep its lead, but others are closing in.

Meanwhile, in a recent survey by the American Express Retail Index, educational toys ranked No. 1 in products adults plan to buy for children this season. Other likely gifts, in descending order: clothing, books, games/puzzles, videos/music, dolls/stuffed animals, video games, arts and crafts, and sports equipment.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
