1. A little trampoline so your beloved little ones can get out all that energy that's now been pent up from being indoors. When the weather isn't great (and they can't burn off energy running around outside), this will be the perfect alternate option.
2. An Echo Dot Kids Edition that'll tell them stories, play music, and answer their one million questions while you're working from home. Finally some quiet time for you to focus!
3. A Lego Classic Creative Brick box with 790 pieces in 33 different colors so they can really flex their creative muscles and spend ~hours~ building whatever their heart desires.
4. A 48-piece solar system puzzle to not only teach them about the solar system, but to also enhance their strategy skills. They'll be able to put it together over and over and over again!
5. A set of Magna-Tiles with square and triangle magnetic shapes they can stick together in multiple ways to build themselves a castle, a rocket ship, or a boat. The options are endless!
6. A V-Tech Write & Learn board to teach them the difference between upper and lowercase letters, how to write their name, and how to draw basic shapes. Once they get going, they won't stop.
7. A KidiBeats drum set for your little rock star — just be prepared with a set of noise-blocking headphones. The set is A+ for sensory development, but I'd suggest also putting this in a room where it won't distract you while you're working.
8. A bag of Kinetic Sand they can pull apart, mold, and shape into any figure. It's sticky so it will hold shape, but will flow through fingers like real sand.
9. A giant Jenga set so everyone can join in on the family game night you'll now be hosting once (or twice) a week. Hey – being indoors doesn't have to be a drag!
10. A bath toy that'll actually keep your kids entertained so you won't have to bribe them with extra screen time or candy to keep them in the bath.
11. A giant pong set for backyard fun once the weather gets a bit warmer. You're gonna be super appreciative of the moments you can spend together in the backyard getting some fresh air after being inside for a while!
12. A classic game of Sorry! to transport you back to your childhood while your kids learn the game for the first time. Nothing like an old-fashioned board game to keep 'em entertained.
13. An ice cream Play-Doh kit so they can build the most delicious treats that they'll probably force you into trying, so get ready to faux-eat some ice cream sandwiches.
14. And! A play kitchen to keep them occupied while you're whipping up ~real~ breakfast. They'll probably insist on eating their own eggs and toast though, so good luck getting them to eat your more nutritious version.
15. Plus some pretend food so their kitchen is fully stocked with the works. Donuts for breakfast, hotdogs for lunch, and don't forget about fruit for snacking.
16. A Buddha Board that may actually get your little ones to unwind and calm down at the end of a day spent indoors. You're looking to have some quiet time for your own sanity and these paint boards can help them relax before bed.
17. A marble run set so your kids can get creative with building tracks and sharpen their logical thinking skills. They can race against each other while improvising on what pathway to build next.
