1. A bubble machine that'll ~blow away~ any bubble wand in sight. Parents, you will not only get your kiddo to eat all their veggies to get their hands on this, but you will no longer have to huff and puff or lose your breath blowing bubbles again!
See this bubble machine in action on TikTok here.
This bubble maker includes: bubble gun, two bottles of bubble solution, a rechargeable battery, a charger, and a plate to place the bubble solution.
Promising review: "I ordered this for my daughter's birthday and she has always loved bubbles!. So when I found this bubble gun on TikTok, it was a no-brainer. The amount of bubbles that you get out of that is so fun and it lights up. It's easy to use and pretty inexpensive for what we wanted. Even the adults enjoyed it." —Tina
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five colors).
2. A Magic Mixies cauldron, so your little witch- or wizard-in-training can experience some magical fun without summoning The Sanderson Sisters. After mixing some potions and tapping their wand, a mist will appear and your kiddo will magically reveal a plush toy inside the cauldron.
See how the ~magic~ happens on TikTok here.
Each cauldron includes enough supplies to perform two ~spells~ and 20 misting moments. As your little one performs a spell, the magic cauldron will guide them with lights and sounds. They'll have to drop in magic ingredients and follow prompts to reveal a plush toy. And, don't worry — there are refills you can purchase so your child will get to experience the magic over and over!

Promising review: "My granddaughter started crawling just to chase it. She loves it! Initially, it would just go around while she was laying on her belly, but then she was able to get on her knees.

Promising review: "This is a great gift for the entire family. My granddaughter can learn from it and it has games to music. Hard to find at Christmas, so it was a few days after.

She is so happy with it and I am so happy with my purchase. I will say my niece is 5-years-old so I feel like she plays with it better than a 3-year-old would. I would recommend for 4+. Best purchase!! —Shai.
