I’ve also included tips on what’s worth buying new vs. what you can confidently find secondhand (hello, Facebook Marketplace!).

These are the toys my 4-year-old actually plays with.

If you're looking to refresh your toy rotation, build a gift list, or just want fewer “but what do I doooooo” moments - these are our go-to favorites.
