Not Just Hype — Toys My Kids Love

items I have two kids under 5, so if a toy lasts in our house, it’s saying something 😂 These are the toys they actually play with on repeat — not the ones that end up in the donation pile two weeks later. Tried, tested, and worth the money.

Open-Ended Toys They Never Get Bored Of

MAGNA-TILES Clear Colors 37pc Set: Magnetic Building Toys for Math, Shapes, Creative Thinking & Engineering Skills

Whether one still naps or not, we all need a daily reset. These are the toys and activities that keep my two under 5 calm, focused, and independently busy during quiet time. Minimal noise, minimal chaos, maximum chance I can sit down for a minute.
My 5 AND 2 year old are obsessed. There are so many Tonie characters now that you can chose from that have great songs and stories for your littles!

Outdoor Winners
When we need fresh air and less noise inside the house, these are my go-to outdoor wins. Water, bikes, etc. — simple stuff that keeps them entertained way longer than it should.
The amount of use our water table had just last summer (the year we bought it) was insane!! The kids absolutely love it and it's a great way to stay cool in the summer.

My son rode this from age 2 - 4!! And it was the perfect way to learn balance. So good when he turned 5 he learned how to ride a big boy bike in one day without training wheels!
