The Big Christmas Morning Moment
The under-the-tree showstopper for this age. It's a big playset with a vehicle and Little People figures, and it made Target's Top 50 toy list this year. Little People figures are chunky enough for little hands.

Starts as a push trike with a parent handle and converts to a regular trike as they grow, so it lasts from ages 1 to 5. A great one for grandparents who want to give the big gift.

Ms. Rachel without the screen. Toddlers put the figure on top and it plays songs and stories, no tablet needed. It's a Target exclusive, and they can add more figures later.
