Clearly the term 'pocket money' means different amounts to different people, but the consensus of opinion would describe pocket money toys as those that are affordable by a child who receives a small weekly allowance of money from his or her parents. Often this money is spent on a Saturday visit to the local toy shop which will often have a good selection of pocket money toys, candy and practical jokes.
Plenty of traditional toy shops still have large sections devoted to low value pocket money toys, and increasingly the internet is seen as a place where pocket money toys can easily be sourced. Often online shops are used to make multiple purchases of items to fill the party bags which are presented to children leaving a birthday get-together or other celebration.
Pocket money toys will usually be novelty items that provide some short term entertainment and will then be replaced by the next one of interest. Click 'n' Catch, rubber bouncy balls, yo-yo's, stickers, pencils, metal puzzles, moulding putty, water pistols, ball maze or balloon-powered racing cars are just a few examples from the huge selection of pocket money toys available.
