18
items My boys are now 6 (turning 7) and 2 (turning 3) and these are all the toys they ACTUALLY love and still play with on a regular basis.
My 2 year old (almost 3) and 6 year old (almost 7) play with these DAILY! I’ve already had to buy more so they have enough to build taller structures. They’re getting really sophisticated I love it!
Magnetic Blocks (Magna-Tiles)
Ahhh! They have a Christmas version too!!
Christmas Magnetic Tiles
This is what I’m getting my 6 yr old this year and I can’t wait! I know he’ll love it because it’s “Minecraft” (without the price tag) and magnetic building which I know he already loves!
Magnetic Blocks - Mine Magnet World Building Toys
Our son has loved these for years and his little 2-year-old brother plays with it too now! Fun building with tools and I feel like it’s good for them too because they’re constructing.
Dinosaur Building Toy Set With Drill & Screws
Anything Lego or Minecraft are a hit and the price on this one was worth how much he’s played with it.
LEGO Minecraft
The whole fam loves this game! We got it for our 2-year old last year (because his older brother was getting a handheld video game) but it was a hit! You just hit the colored buttons like whack-a-mole but it gets faster every round. Note: you can tur...
Pop Game Fidget Toy
Our 6-yr-old wanted a video game for Christmas. This came pre-loaded with a ton of games on it and He absolutely loves it! The games were very PG-friendly, like racing and tennis and golf. It’s a really good option for kids who aren’t aware of the CR...
Handheld Portable Video Game for Ages 4-8
A friend gifted this to my toddler and I’m shocked by how much he plays with it! He’s sitting next to me right now, adding more teeth to his patient’s mouth 🤣
Play-Doh Dentist Playset Toddler Gift
My 3-year-old’s emotional support toy. For some reason, the fact that you can flip up Spidey’s mask and see his face is really fun for my toddler!
Spidey and His Amazing Friends Dino Set (Marvel)
Our family loved playing trouble together- I can’t believe I found a Stitch version! Our 2 yr old is going to freak out, he loves playing with his older brother!
Disney Stitch (Trouble) Board Game 4+ Years
It says 8+ but our 6 year old loves this game. (My husband too!) It’s a short-form version of Monopoly but you play with cards. One game takes 20-30 minutes so it’s perfect to play a quick family game before bed.
Monopoly Deal Stitch Card Game
We keep these cards in the diaper bag whip get it out at restaurants while we’re waiting for our food to arrive. (Comes with a metal tin to keep the cards in) It’s just a speed matching game so you can quit at any time and just count how many matches...
Spot It Marvel Family Card Game (works well for 4+)
(Best for ages 5+) these books REALLY keep our oldest entertained and he loved getting the Christmas version last year. :) We actually saved the pages and hung them up this year as holiday decor in their play room!
Paint by Sticker Kids: Christmas
Our 2 year old (almost 3 now) still plays with this! He loves picking up the Dinos with tongs and sorting them into the colored bowls. Super great for fine motor, color learning, counting, etc. We race with the cousins to see who sorts fastest.
Dinosaur Sorting - Montessori Toddler Toy
No joke, our toddler puts together his wooden puzzles daily. For some reason, he likes the thick wooden ones over cardboard so we bought a few more!
Wooden Dinosaur Puzzles (3+)
This entire “How Do Dinosaurs___” series is a hit with both our sons. They always pick these books for bedtime stories so I love that they came out with a Christmas version!
How Do Dinosaurs Say Merry Christmas? (Board Book)
My 6-yr-old says this is the coolest Hotwheels toy ever
Hot Wheels City Ultimate Dragon Hauler
Best Costco find ever! In the winter we add pebbles, sand, etc. In the summer, they cool off with water outside.
