The new addition to children's holiday wish lists this year are iPads, according to the National Retail Federation's annual "Top Toys" survey.

Tablets and iPads rank fourth among the most coveted toys for girls, tied with Disney princesses, and beating out American Girl dolls. The No. 1 spot goes to Barbie, followed by generic dolls then Monster High dolls.

The survey, which polled 6,021 consumers earlier this month, showed that the demand for iPads is lower among boys, where they rank No. 13 on wish lists. Both boys and girls have PlayStation 4 on their lists, however.

"Timeless, classic toys will always resonate with children, but tablets and smartphones continue to steal more attention from today's kids, leaving mom and dad with no option but to look for ways to get their children their own items — and leave theirs alone," said Pam Goodfellow, consumer insights director for Prosper Insights and Analytics, which conducted the survey for the NRF.
