My favorite gifts that have gotten lots of use during our kids' toddler and little kid (under 6) years. Priced under $40 each.
We like using this just to listen to music - the kids can turn it on themselves - and they keep singing the songs all the time.

It's no surprise that magnet tiles are on this list. I chose Picasso tiles just because they are a bit more budget friendly than Magnatiles and work just as well!
