MILLENIAL's 'toy story' started with Play-Doh at age two and led to Hungry Hippos at six, with Lego making an appearance when they were nine, according to research. Alongside these, children also played with Sylvanian Families, Tamagotchi and Care Bears. A study of adults aged 22 to 37 explores their childhood toy-timeline, showing that from birth to three years of age, millenials also played with My Little Pony, Barbie and Duplo. By the ages of eight to 10, Spirograph, Connect 4 and Etch-a-Sketch could also be found in kid's bedrooms. Moving into their teens, video games firmly became the toy of choice, with Game Boys, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 all featuring in the top 10.

Trump calls Saudi operation to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi one of the ‘worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups’
DONALD Trump has hit out at Saudi Arabia's attempt to hide their involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi - dubbing it the "worst cover-up in the history of cover-ups". The President's blast about the "pretty rough" killing came after butchered remains of the writer were found dumped in a well at the Saudi consul's house in Istanbul Trump earlier described Khashoggi's death as a “plot gone awry” and said he didn’t think the writer was deliberately lured into the consulate to be killed. The US President, who spoke with the Saudi Crown Prince on Sunday, told USA Today on Monday: “He says he is not involved nor is the king." The newspaper said Trump declined to say whether he believed the crown prince’s denials. If their involvement was proven, Trump said: “I would be very upset about it.
