From there, they reached out to therapists, teachers, bookstore owners and other experts to get their recommendations. The result? Tried and true reviews and ratings for some of this year’s most popular toys for every age, including the Fisher-Price Baby and Toddler Learning Toy, the Barbie Convertible Pop-up Tent, Elmer’s Squishies and the Cool Maker PopStyle Bracelet Maker.
1. PicassoTiles Magnet Building Tiles
This building set has limitless construction options, where kids can scale their creations to any size by adding more pieces. It includes 100 colossal building blocks, which per the brand, will help children develop strong skills in identifying colors, geometric shapes and 3D forms, as well as counting, magnetic properties and architectural design.
2. LEGO Classic Creative Color Fun Set
Packed with 1,500 vibrant LEGO bricks sorted into individual bags by color, this open-ended building set is bound to bring some artistic inspiration. Clear picture guides make constructing models like an octopus or rocket a breeze—and kids can personalize their creations with fun accessories like wheels or eyes. The coolest thing about this set, however, is that it pairs with the LEGO Builder app, which allows your mini to zoom in, rotate models in 3D and track their progress.
3. Barbie Dreamhouse
Since Barbiecore is a trend we can’t seem to get enough of, we’re diving head-first into Barbie’s ultimate pool party Dreamhouse. It has a three-story slide with ten areas to explore—and it even includes a pet paradise with a puppy slide and pool. Not only does the top floor transform into a sleepover space for four dolls but it also comes with more than 75 accessories, so you can customize every space from the kitchen to the bedroom. The best part? It’s fully equipped with lights, sounds and a working elevator to make the house as life-like as possible.
4. Sony PlayStation 5 Gaming Console
Thanks to this PlayStation’s ultra-high-speed SSD, games load in a blink, and the whole player experience is immersive with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and 3D Audio. The PS5's unique integration also allows gamers to pull data from the SSD, so they can design their own unique games in real-time. Bonus: It has stunning graphics with near-instant load times for installed PS5 games.
5. Maisonette Wonder & Wise Baby Walker
This baby walker is like a buddy for your little one's playtime. Whether they're sitting, standing or on the go, there's something fun for every stage. Sitting babies can pop shapes into the sorter and play with the included cell phone prop. They can also try to make characters out of squares and peek behind five counting flaps. For standing babies, there's a mirror, a bead maze and sliding beads on the abacus. (Just remember, adult supervision is required.)
6. Ooly Rainbow Sparkle Watercolor Gel Crayons
This set of crayons is magical because you can quickly transform colors with a splash of water. They’re crafted with solidified gel, so they offer bolder and smoother strokes compared to regular crayons. Your young painter can also elevate their art by creating watercolor effects using a wet paintbrush. The set includes 12 colored gel crayons, each boasting a thick contoured grip for added comfort.
7. Nintendo Switch Gaming Console
This Nintendo Switch bundle offers endless gaming options, and it comes with a console, a charging dock and two red and blue Joy-Con controllers. It offers a solid 4.5 to 9 hours of gaming (around 5.5 hours for Zelda enthusiasts, games sold separately) and it acts as an all-in-one gaming companion that you can use on the move or at home. That’s because it can shift from a home console to handheld mode and supports three play styles–TV, handheld and tabletop. Detachable Joy-Con controllers also offer versatile gameplay options, and you can connect up to eight systems for local multiplayer games. Add to that the fact that the multitouch display features bright, high-definition gameplay, and the bundle supports amiibo accessories for extras in compatible games, and well, let’s just say your kiddo will be plenty entertained.
8. VTech KidiJamz Studio
Here, the ultimate toy for budding musicians. This music station lets kids record and play back their songs on a detachable player—and music mixing is a breeze. It features 20 kid-friendly tunes and offers a variety of options, including 10 instrument sounds, five musical styles and three rhythm buttons. It also includes a microphone with digital voice effects and a musical scratching disc with a light-up keyboard—and it’s great for kids 3 years and up. Oh, and did we mention that you get $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend in-store or online?
9. Hasbro Jenga Blocks
Get ready for a trip down memory lane with Jenga–the original wood block game that's been a family favorite for generations. It's a classic balancing game where the goal is simple: pull out a block, stack it on top and keep that tower standing tall. With 54 wood blocks and a stacking sleeve, building the tower is a breeze. Plus, it comes in a handy tube-shaped box with a handle that’s perfect for carrying and makes cleanup easy. Not only is it a go-to for kids 6-years-old and up, but it’s also perfect for adult game nights.
10. Bestamtoy Wooden Stacking Stones
Unlike traditional blocks, each polyhedral piece in this set varies in size, color and weight, adding an exciting challenge to the stacking game. It’s crafted from high-quality wood with an eco-friendly coating, and the hand-polished surface guarantees a smooth, burr-free handling for little hands. Not to mention that the stacking set isn't just a game; it's a skill-building exercise that promotes creativity, resilience and fine motor skills (per the brand). Perfect for solo play, it encourages patience and independent thinking, while parent-child interactions make it a fantastic family activity. These balancing stones also double as unique home décor, adding a touch of charm to any space.
