Now your toddler can take to the road (or just peddle at the park) when they vroom off on this Fisher-Price Harley Davidson Tricycle. Bigger foot pedals mean it’s easier for your kid to push off and get going— and less back-breaking for you since you won’t have to hunch over to give them a running start. There’s even a secret storage compartment under the seat that’s perfect for on-the-go snacks. The tricycle weighs four pounds, so it’ll be easy enough to tote around if your child wants to take a quick spin at the playground or zoom up and down the driveway.

Doodling that doesn’t involve your kid coloring on your walls? Yes, please. The Crayola Ultimate Light Board lets your child draw to their heart’s content with zero mess. They’ll use six mini washable gel markers to make their masterpieces on the light board. There’s a built-in kickstand if your pint-sized Picasso wants to create an easel-esque feel. The action button on front creates three different light effects to bring their creations to life. Powered by three AA batteries, this toy is totally totable, so it can keep your kid entertained on car trips, too.

The National Geographic Break Open 10 Premium Geodes will be a smash hit with your child — literally. Ideal for ages 8 and up, all your kid needs to do is break open the rocks to discover some really cool crystals inside. But the fun doesn’t stop once the geodes are cracked open; your child can study the 16-page learning guide to find out how geodes are formed in the first place. No two geodes are the same size (some might be as big as a tennis ball or as small as a ping pong ball). And once they’ve studied up on this fun STEM activity, they can use the geodes as some really cool décor for their bedrooms.

Your child can go galloping on the backs of unicorns (in their own mind, anyway) when they play with the Breyer Horses Unicorn Magic Wooden Stable Playset. The set comes with six unicorns that have each been hand painted for the utmost attention to detail. The unicorns, which measure about 3.5 inches tall, are recommended for kids ages four and up. Once your child has finished playing, they can (hopefully) put the unicorns back in their stable, which can be easily carried around, thanks to the wooden carrying case. It’s an ideal gift for any itty bitty equestrian in your family.

When your kid feels the need for speed, they can zoom (and crash) to their heart’s content playing with the Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash Motorized Track Set. From twists and turns that seem to defy the laws of gravity to intersections that will have them hanging on the edge of their seat, this toy is one big thrill ride. The motorized boosters help cars move quickly as they race to be first in this high-octane experience for mini motorists. And unlike other toys, the Hot Wheels Criss Cross Crash Motorized Track Set can be set up in mere minutes, which means more time for your child to play — while you crash on the couch.

There are just certain scents that smell like childhood. And one of those is Play-Doh, the modeling compound that can be created into just about anything your child can come up with. Well, they won’t run out of ideas (or Play-Doh) with this set of 24 3-ounce cans. From pinks and purples, to blues and browns, your kid can shape, squish (and smush) all their Play-Doh together, or keep it separate. With so many containers, there’s simply no excuse for your kid not to put back the modeling compound at the end of the day, because dried out Play-Doh isn’t fun for playing…or cleaning up.

Your budding scientist can conduct so many experiments, thanks to the National Geographic Earth Science Kit. From erupting volcanos (which is always cool) to growing crystals and geological digs, there’s so much for your child to learn and explore with this set. They can create dueling water tornadoes — and then understand the science to know how it can happen in the first place — thanks to step-by-step instructions that will boost their science skills as well as their self-confidence in their STEM journey. Some experiments can be done solo while others can be conducted with their friends and family, in order to make discoveries — and memories.

They’re in your child’s bed. On the couch. In the car. If you have kids of a certain age, then you know all about Squishmallows (and how they seem to multiply overnight). So for the kind who can’t get enough of these precious plushies, you’ll need to add the Rainbow Tie-Dye Platypus to their collection of cuteness. The 14-inch Squishmallow is made from ultra soft materials, making it super squishy…and super cute. But this Squishmallow is unlike any other in your kid’s pile of plushies because its name is Brindall, a hummus-loving platypus. With her adorable eyelashes and white belly, Brindall will fit right in with your child’s Squishmallows Squad.

Building fine motor skills is the name of the game when your child plays with Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog from Learning Resources. They’ll discover how to sort, count, and build their color recognition skills as they sort and play with Spike’s colorful quills that are just the right size for little hands. (The toy can even be used for occupational therapy exercises.) An activity set comes with the hedgehog, and as your child plays, they’ll use their fingers to place a quill in the right spot. Plus, when playtime is over, the quills can be placed in the hedgehog for easy storage.

Dressing up like a princess can be fun but making crafts that make you feel like royalty can be even more awesome. The necklace activity set from Tara Toys lets your little one look like some of the Disney princesses, like Tiana, Belle, Ariel, Snow White, and Cinderella. The kit comes with five character charms, 150 beads, and four silicone necklaces so that they can craft to their heart’s content. And once your child is done donning their handcrafted masterpieces, they can either store them in the plastic carrying case or take the necklaces apart and start all over again for hours of crafting fun.

You’ll never run out of things to talk to your teen about when your family plays the Who’s Most Likely to…Kinda Clean Family Edition Game. There are 250 prompt cards to keep the convo going, with questions like who’s most likely to wake up with half a burrito in bed or have a 20-minute conversation with Siri. The game is designed for at least four players ages 14 and up, but this is easily a game you could play with your tweens, too. At least you’ll have an answer to the question: “Who sits at a stop light waiting for it to turn green?” (Guilty.)

Tis the season for flavored drinks like a Peppermint Mocha or a Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte.

When your child is pleading for a puppy, you can give them this sweet Barbie It Takes Two Playset as practice. Twins Jackson and Jayla also come with three pet puppies as well as 13 extra accessories that can be used for storytelling and sharing. The twins might be starting their own pet grooming business, in which case your child can use the grooming brush, pet carrier, blanket and pet bed. Or the dynamic duo might be taking the pooches out for a walk, so they’ll want to bring the water bottle and soccer ball with them. The dolls are meant for ages 3 and up.

When your child is upset, you tell them to use their words. But what if they don’t have the words to express how they feel? Well, the LeapFrog Scout and Violet 100 Words Book can help them build their vocabulary in a fun way. Meant for the 18-month age set, you can help your child choose from categories like mealtime, colors, opposites, animals, pets, and more. When your child touches a word on the page, they’ll hear the word, plus some sound effects and fun facts, too. The words, instructions, and songs can be played in both English and Spanish, too.

Your child can get to experience the excitement of from the film Jurassic World Dominion (without actually getting eaten by a T-rex, that is) when they play with this LEGO set based on the film. They’ll get to build the truck, dinosaur cage, and bike toy, and of course, play with mother/daughter dinosaurs Blue and Beta. There are also two LEGO minifigs, Maisie and Rainn, Jurassic World: Dominion’s bad guy. There’s even a chicken drumstick that can be used as dinosaur bait to lure Beta into the cage which fits in the back of the truck. Fun for reenacting some of the spectacular scenes from the summer hit movie, this LEGO set is as much fun to build as it is to play with.

You can’t get a more classic board game than Candy Land. You’ll feel some serious nostalgia when you start playing this game with your child.

Candy Land, which is geared towards children ages 3 and up, comes with colorful cards that will teach little ones not just about colors, but about turn-taking, patience, and that winning isn’t always everything. But when you do win Candy Land, victory is certainly sweet.

Why unwrap one gift when you can open five gifts (or more) in one? That’s the addictive joy of the Surprise Mini Brandstoys.

As a parent, you never quite remember the moment that your kid first plays Minecraft. When they do, though, it becomes an all-consuming obsession to mine for lapis lazuli, iron, gold, obsidian, fight mobs, and of course, defeat the Ender Dragon.

Since it’s a NERF product, it has a 3-dart capacity and can fire darts one at a time. The toy, which can used for indoor or outdoor play, can make your child feel like they’re really wielding the Great Hammer in battle…even if they’re just in their own backyard.
