1. An interactive Thing because your creepy little youngster would ~love~ to have their very own handy companion. This animatronic hand not only rests atop their shoulder but can move on their command via a wrist controller.
2. A Melissa & Doug dentist kit that'll let them be the dentist. They'll be able to give a deep cleaning, apply braces, and more. After playing with this set, they may not be so scared when it's their turn in the dentist's chair.
3. A twist-and-spin because some of the best toys are the simplest ones. While your little one is twisting or playing with the colorful ball poppers, they'll be working on their coordination and motor skills, too.
4. An Elphaba doll in case your theater kid simply cannot wait until the release of the new Wicked film to *defy gravity*.
5. Or, an Elphaba and Glinda Lego playset also inspired by the upcoming Wicked film. After they build the set, they'll be able to reenact the exact moment where Elphaba realizes she can defy gravity, what's sure to be a true cinematic moment.
6. A talking microscope from Educational Insights complete with 60 images with 100 facts and quizzes. Your soon-to-be scientist can learn all about animals and plants.
7. A Pixicade mobile game maker in case the child you're gifting to is not only into video games but also interested in making their own. They can draw a photo, take a picture of it, play, and share their game. There are 1,600 video games they can build! 🤯
8. A Rubik's cube because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. This classic puzzle is just as fun now as it was then, and will keep them busy for hours.
9. A Lego baby bumpy — aka baby Ankylosaurus — that's ready to accompany them on a prehistoric adventure.
10. An educational puzzle game of Kanoodle — the viral sensation that'll put that brain to work. There are several levels ranging from easy to extremely difficult, which makes it great for all ages.
11. An Imaginext Darth Vador that stands over 2 feet tall and comes with a mini Stormtrooper. Although they're sweet as pie, they like to play on the Dark Side. This robot has lights and sounds and even has a disc launcher. It has everything they need to try and take over the galaxy.
12. A color-changing light box with 60 translucent shapes and five light-up modes for some tracing fun.
13. A Littlest Pet Shop playset complete with two pets and 20 accessories that has everything they need to care for their teeny tiny animals.
14. A heat-ray Godzilla from the movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire that will pretty much be the coolest kaiju toy on the block. They can use the controller to make Godzilla stomp around the house, and they can activate his heat-ray. If you add a few drops of water to Godzilla's head, his heat-ray will emit atomic breath!
15. A Cookeez Makery Pancake Treatz edition to mix it, flip it, and reveal a surprisingly sweet plush. The toy is interactive so after they're done whipping it up, there's still more fun to be had.
16. A Nee-Doh toy that is a color-changing sensory squeeze ball they can *squish* to their heart's content.
17. A Despicable Me 4 fart blaster straight from Dr. Nefario's lab. Sure, Gru originally wanted a dart blaster but Dr. Nefario's mistake is our gain. This blaster rings of real fart noises, lights, fog, and even smells.
18. An interactive puppy with more than 60 sounds and reactions that will keep them so busy they might second guess begging for a *real* puppy.
19. A Pickleball Blast game — a tabletop pickle smackdown that brings the fun of pickleball indoors. Guard your pickle jars — the first to flip two lids wins!
20. An Furlings Adventurous Yeti plush toy that's responsive and has more than 80 sounds and animations, including giggling and growling. The eyes are ✨magical✨ and make it seem even more lifelike. Aspen, that's its name, also comes with a slap band tale so it can hang off their arm upside down.
21. A coffee tumbler so they can be just like their parents and grab their morning cup of Joe before starting their day. This Fisher-Price tumbler has more than 20 songs and phrases and will react with sounds and lights as it tumbles around.
22. A Bitzee that's an interactive digital pet they can actually feel! The one case has 15 virtual electronic pets inside that react to touch. The more they play, the more pets they unlock.
23. A Design & Drill take-apart toy great for future builders. The box unfolds into a playset, and they'll be able to build their crane truck with the drill, developing fine motor skills and encouraging early STEM education and imagination. It comes with two people figures and an animal figure, too.
24. An airbrush plush where they can decorate their own plush unicorn with airbrush colors, truly making it their own. Just stick on a stencil and spray on a color — they can even color their hair. When they're ready to switch it up, toss it in the wash, and it's ready to be colored again!
25. A Bluey 3-in-1 transforming playset so they can take Bluey and Bingo on a vacation. It's a plane, hotel, beach, and a boat — so many options for a big adventure. All aboard the imagination station!
