Here are some of my top recommendations for toys for kids aged 2-10 ( or maybe a little older depending on your kids interests). My kids are 10, 8, 2, and 6 months so I'm basing my recommendations off their wants this year. Happy shopping!

5 years ago I was a first-time mom looking up toys and items that were trending, but once my child was diagnosed with autism, I realized I didn't need any of the trendy items I purchased. I needed items that would support my child in his development and sensory needs. We have tried many items, some better than others. Here's my list of must-haves and how they have supported my child. I hope to give you ideas on how you can support your child with items and toys that have a purpose.

After watching my son struggle to focus at school I decided to withdraw him and jump into homeschool. I knew he understood The curriculum they were doing at school because he was also doing it at home with no problem. So when I had multiple conferences with his teacher about him not being able to do his school work I decided it was time to do it myself. We are now a year into homeschooling and he is thriving. Sometimes school can be overwhelming for kids and it's not natural for them to sit down for 7 to 8 hours. I focus on a lot of interactive learning and it works well for my 2-year-old and my 6-year-old. I have listed some products that have really been key opponents to thriving in our homeschool experience.

We celebrated my daughter’s 2nd birthday with this theme and it was the sweetest! Here’s what I purchased to make the big day perfect.

From toddlers and up. Great items for kiddos who have trouble falling asleep, sleeping alone, have insomnia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and troubles with regulation. Adults can use some of these too! Check out the kids section in my book list for helpful books!

Finding toys that reflect the full spectrum of human experiences has gotten so much easier in recent years, and it makes me ridiculously happy to see it! As a former teacher and now a parent, I know how powerful it is for kids to see themselves—and their friends—represented in the toys they play with. From dolls with cochlear implants, limb differences, and vitiligo to playsets that feature characters with disabilities, these toys help normalize diversity in a way that feels natural and joyful. Kids don’t just learn through books; they learn through play, and having options that reflect real people is such a game-changer. What’s exciting is that these aren’t just niche products anymore—they’re showing up in mainstream toy aisles and big-name brands, making them easier to find than ever. Whether it’s a wheelchair for a favorite doll, a figurine with a visible disability, or a playset that includes a character with a mobility aid, these small details can make a huge impact. And honestly, I’m still discovering new ones right alongside you! If you’ve come across a favorite disability-inclusive toy, I’d love to hear about it. The more representation out there, the better!

As a new mom, I would recommend these items. I found them very useful and thought it would help any new mother

Create a safe space for your moving toddler to regulate, play, and grow

Let's be honest: there are way too many "must have" baby items being shoved in our faces. By the time we were pregnant with our first, I was determined not to take on the unnecessary junk that would just take more precious room in our already too-small dwelling. To start, I made a strategic registry... Like there was not a single onesie to be found. Let me tell you, if there's a onesie on the registry, some Great Aunt Ruth is going to get it. Even if it isn't on the registry, trust me, there will be at least five onesies gifted. That's why I only put the essentials. We even had cloth diapers, and someone BOUGHT THEM. Honestly that alone saved us thousands. So take a look at my list. Now as a mom of three, I stand firm in this decision. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
