1. A sight word Bingo game to keep your little one entertained in an educational way. Next thing you know they're going to be begging you to play another round.
2. A wooden puzzle that is basically just Tetris except without the screen time so they can also practice their tactical skills.
3. A Melissa & Doug activity book with a pair of safe scissors so they can work on their cutting and fine motor skills in a controlled (and fun!) way.
4. A value pack of reusable 500+ puffy stickers that aren't just fun and adorable, but ~reusable~ and can easily be peeled off by your toddler… and restuck in new places!
5. A sensory swing designed with spring suspension so not only can they swing but also bounce up and down. I honestly don't think I've ever wanted something more in my life, and no, I don't have kids 😂.
6. And a rainbow-colored saucer swing perfect for indoors or outdoors. Your kiddos will never want to get out of this, and that's perfectly fine because they can swing, sit, read, nap, or do really anything in this swing — you may never catch them sitting in a regular chair again.
7. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game for any kids who are ~obsessed~ with potty humor. This little guy gives silly clues and even has a fun reward song for the winner.
8. A flying orb with flashing lights and honestly maybe some real life magic? It will automatically create different flight paths and boomerang effects depending on the speed and angles that it's thrown.
9. A DIY puffy sticker kit to create beautiful and squishy handmade stickers your crafty kids will love.
10. An inexpensive Pop2Play foldable indoor slide that quickly POPS 💥 open so when your kid is screaming that they are bored you can make sure they are entertained (and hopefully a little tuckered out) in seconds. Plus when they are finally done running around, you can fold it up for easy storage.
11. A marble run set to not only entertain while the marbles are going down, but also while you build the set. All the pieces are compatible so there are endless ways to arrange it to constantly create new tracks for the marbles to run down.
12. A National Geographic geodes kit that will give them the satisfaction of breaking open a seemingly boring rock to discover something beautiful. This is both educational and fun and could even spark an interest in science and discovery by learning how geodes are formed and how they can differ so much in appearance.
13. A touch-activated talking world map poster with over 1,000 facts and questions about the world we live in. Your kids will learn about geography, earth science, and the environment, all while improving their memory and testing their problem solving skills.
14. A pack of Crayola Globbles so your kiddos can finally throw something at the wall because that's its purpose, not because they are full of rage. Or for those that are ~calmer,~ these are also super fun to stretch and squeeze. Plus they won't leave behind any nasty residue for you to deal with.
15. A Lily & River wood climbing triangle that is foldable for easy set up and storage. Not only will this work on their balance and fine motor skills, but it can help improve their independence if set up in a way for them to access taller parts of the house they usually can't get to on their own.
16. A pack of parachute toys designed to provide hours of entertainment without ever getting tangled!
17. A Lego Gadgets book set that will teach your kiddos the science behind 11 different gadgets while they build them! We love an educational toy that is actually fun.

Promising review: "This set is awesome for my 6-year-old. I bought this for a gift as he loves Lego and loves to figure things out. I like the fact that this adds the element of science to it. It has 11 different gadgets that you can make and there is a lot of thought behind the machines. It also explains the science behind the machine after you have built it. Some of the gadgets have paper cutouts which are cleverly designed. I love how this engages my 6-year-old. This is a great value for your money and I would highly recommend this." —Megawatt
Get it from Amazon for $21.75.
18. A construction-themed folding play set with kinetic sand, a dump truck, working crane, and brick molds so they can build, dig, and demolish alllll day long (without the mess that would happen if they were demolishing your house!).
19. Banzai Bump N' Bounce Body Bumpers perfect for those kiddos that have soooo much built up energy and always seem to want to wrestle someone. Now they can do it in a safe way (that also just so happens to be *incredibly* entertaining to watch).
20. A Snap Circuits kit complete with 30+ electronic parts that easily snap together on the plastic grid so your budding engineers can get a feel for what it is like to create over 100 (working!) circuit projects.
21. An LCD writing tablet that is basically the modern day version of those scratch to reveal drawing books from my childhood, except with this there is no mess AND the screen can be cleared with the press of a button.
22. Or, if you fancy yourself a traditionalist, a scratch paper art set so you can stick to the classics and your little ones can experience art the same way you did as a kid.
23. A machine-washable coloring tablecloth to keep the kiddos who can't sit still during mealtime occupied.
24. A solar-powered DIY robot kit that is actually a 12-in-1 set so they can just keep building and building and never get bored. And yes, they actually move!!
25. An interactive The Floor is Lava game to get even the biggest couch potatoes up and active while they try to save themselves from the molten lava all around them by jumping from foam piece to piece.
26. A two-pack of LED hover balls so your kiddos can finally play soccer inside without the risk of injury or breaking something. These easily glide across the floor like an air hockey puck and has built-in bumpers to protect your baseboards.
27. The Nugget foam play couch that absolutely exploded in popularity for being a combination of furniture and toy. With infinite arrangements, the fun will truly never stop with this, but if it does, don't worry, it's comfortable enough to stop playing and take a nap right on it.
28. A Gator Golf set so you can start priming them at a young age for long Saturdays spent on the golf course. The goal is to get it in his mouth three times…and he will even flick the ball back to you with his tail when you do!
29. An adorable, inflatable unicorn ride-on to fulfill every child's dream of riding on a unicorn. This one is extra ~magical~ with a removable, washable cover that you can just throw in the washer when they inevitably spill on it.
30. A sports center equipped with a hoop, LED scoreboard, soccer goal, and buttons to teach 50+ sounds, songs, and phrases. This thing will surely be a 🏀 slam dunk 🏀 from the minute it arrives.
31. A soft foam ball pit that is not only super fun for your kiddo but also incredible aesthetically pleasing? Like tell me why I want one for myself?! This comes with 300 balls (in any color variety that you want!) so your little one can dive right in when it arrives.
