Alright, the last holiday gift guide is here! It’s my Kids Holiday Gift Guide – Top Toys.
I’ve done a few other toy gift guides, but those were brand-specific and this one is my top toys from a variety of brands I haven’t yet posted about!
After 17 years of being a parent, I would like to think I am pretty good at gift-giving.
I’ve watched brands evolve over the years and new brands storm into the retail world with amazing toys.
I will say, the toys of 2019 are much cooler than the toys of the early 2000s when my first child was born.
But I guess that is how things go, even toy brands get better with age!
Kids Holiday Gift Guide – Top Toys
So check out these 10 amazing gift ideas to finish off those last-minute gifts!
1. Creatable World
Creatable World inspires all kids to get creative with doll play.
Deluxe Character Kits provide a blank canvas along with the pieces to create unique characters, over and over again!
The 11-inch doll wears a tank and shorts, has a short haircut and comes with six items of clothing, three pairs of shoes, two additional accessories and a long-haired wig – all versatile pieces that give kids the freedom to make their characters whoever they want them to be.
The clothing is straight off the playground, and authentic details keep it even more real.
The wig is easy to take on and off – kids can switch long hair for short hair, then back again.
Add a skirt, pants or use both.
Accessorize…or don’t.
Creatable World doll kits give all kids the ability to make and remake characters they love.
With so many choices, the fun is never-ending!
Collect other doll kits for even more options and creative possibilities (each sold separately).
As a mom of a son who is transgender, this makes my heart so so happy.
I am so thankful that brands are making more gender-fluid toys.
They will help teach kids it is ok to be whoever you are and that we should accept others for who they are too!
