1. A color-your-own-castle playhouse in case a rainy Sunday traps your children inside. Instead of being tempted to say "I'm bored" for the 100th time, they'll have so much fun coloring in their little palace exactly as they want to.
2. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game — you hide this fake rainbow-colored poo in the house and it'll say "yoo-hoo" and give other funny clues about where it's hiding. Any kid who delights in potty humor will get a kick out of this one.
3. A gigantic game of Jenga for the days regular-sized board games just aren't cutting it. As you play, the stack can reach up to 5 feet high, so little ones *might* need the help of a parent or older sibling to reach the top. But hey — it'll encourage teamwork!
4. The Adventure Challenge: Family Edition, which is a book featuring a huge array of adventures you and your family can go on together. All you have to do is scratch off a box to reveal the surprise activity the book is prompting you to do. Once you're done with your adventure, you'll write a blurb and add in a photo to commemorate your time.
5. A Fat Brain door pong game that's essentially like playing Ping-Pong without having to use a table. Just attach this to a doorway or an arch in your house, adjust the height, and let your kids start battling it out.
6. A machine washable coloring tablecloth to keep your kids busy while you're making Sunday dinner. Hopefully the days of them asking "Is dinner ready yet?!" a million times are now over!
7. A Dyson toy vacuum if your kid loves watching you clean and wants to help out with the chores. It is battery operated and actually has enough suction to pick up small items like paper, which will make them feel like they have a real vacuum in their tiny hands!
8. An interactive The Floor is Lava game to get your couch potatoes up and moving. Pretty soon, this will become a favorite weekend activity in the winter when everyone's crammed inside with nothing to do.
9. A DIY puffy sticker kit so your kid can add some custom flair to their notebooks or water bottles. Regular stickers are great, but puffy stickers they can make themselves? Next-level cool.
10. A Melissa & Doug loom if your kiddo is more of an old soul and is already expressing interest in making their own blankets, scarves, or purses. Just set this up at the kitchen table and they'll be weaving away all weekend long.
11. A light-up disc so your kids can still play outside (with parent supervision of course!) even when the sun starts setting at 4:30 p.m. again. Daylight saving time is no match for LED!
12. A book of 642 tiny things to draw if you have a budding artist in your household and want something that will help them tap into their creative side. Depending on how fast your kid doodles, this book could keep them busy for a very long time.
13. A mini projector so they can feel like they're at the movie theater without leaving the house. You can even use this outside for an under-the-stars viewing experience.
14. A DIY robotic walking dinosaur perfect for your little paleontologist who is constantly rattling off prehistoric facts to you. They'll feel so accomplished when they put all the pieces together and it starts moving!
15. A Slammo game set perfect for kids who need to burn off some extra energy on the weekends. Set this game up in the backyard, let them slam the green ball into the net until they get tired out, and you can enjoy the peace and quiet you have in your empty house.
16. A classic Melissa & Doug ice cream station for any kid with a sweet tooth who also has a big imagination. They'll love stacking the cones high with pretend ice cream and "selling" the cones to their family members.
17. A glow-in-the-dark fort-building kit to keep your little architect busy. They'll have so much fun coming up with new designs for castles or igloos or rockets — the possibilities are endless!
18. A Disney princess necklace activity set so your little diva can try their hands at designing their very own jewelry. Don't forget about setting up a fashion show afterward so they can show off their creations!
19. A set of rainbow popping toys for teeny hands that always need to be doing something. This is basically like infinitely reusable Bubble Wrap — yes, it's totally acceptable if you, the grown-up, want to buy one too.
20. A TikTok-famous pick 'n' peel stone — it's a super-effective way to redirect kids who struggle with nervous habits like nail biting or skin picking. Now they can pick and poke the paint off the textured side of the rock and peel the paint off the smooth side.
21. An affordable drone your kids have probably already been begging you to buy for months. You're about to be their favorite person in the world when this arrives at your doorstep!
22. A kids' selfie camera for any budding influencers who are constantly asking for your phone to take pictures. Now they'll be able to snap away at anything and everything and you won't find your phone covered in jelly fingerprints after they use it.
23. A sensory swing that's not only super fun to play in, but is also a great way to help kids develop better balance and motor skills. It also has a special spring at the top that'll let your little one bounce up and down...how fun!
24. Or this rainbow-colored saucer swing you can hang indoors or outdoors — this is almost guaranteed to become their favorite little hangout whether they're lying on it to read or spinning their little hearts out.
25. A 12-pack of sustainable all-natural pure beeswax crayons that are so indestructible, they literally offer a money-back guarantee if they (somehow) happen to break. No more snapping through a pack of crayons in 10 minutes flat!
26. A snack spinner to turn snack time into a fun game. If you're having trouble getting them to sit still long enough to eat some Goldfish, place this in front of them and they'll be instantly entranced by the spinning snack compartments.
27. A wooden children's "knife" for little ones who are always asking to help you out with dinner, especially on the weekends when you have time to make more elaborate meals. Now they can help you chop away with kid-safe blades and you'll rest assured that they won't slice off a finger.
