Best Holiday Toys | South Florida Bounce

It can be difficult for parents to shop for the best gifts for their children. What holds a child’s attention today can easily turn into yesterday’s discarded toy. School has been transitioned to online learning in many locales and one of the greatest gifts for kids are those that allow them to use their imagination and explore new concepts.

3-5 Years Old

Some tried and true toys for three and four-year-olds that enable kids to build, explore and imagine are LEGO® blocks, Lincoln Logs and K’NEX. There are dozens of toys and kits designed to introduce even this age group to STEM disciplines. Parents can select from a variety of kits that encourage the development of various STEM skills and they’re available in magnetic versions such as Magna-Tiles.

Board games are an excellent choice for the five-year-old. Children at this age are very social and board games encourage playtime with parents and siblings. The games also teach them how to follow rules, play fair, and how to win/lose graciously. Other popular options are sets that enable children to emulate their parents and role play. Non-motorized ride-on toys provide fun while developing motor skills.

6-9 Years Old

This age group can enjoy playing by themselves and creating their own narratives. There’s a variety of drawing tools for self-expression and options that encourage children to write their own stories. Books are always great gifts that enable children to explore new worlds and far away places. They’re especially welcome by those ages 8-9.

For kids that have access to a tablet or gaming system, there are dozens of age-appropriate games that will keep kids occupied for hours while stimulating their imaginations. Parents can also choose from a variety of robotic toys for youngsters. The toys move, speak and are programmed with their own personalities.

Judgement Call

These are just some of the options available for parents that want their child to learn, create, and develop their mental and motor skills. Parents know their children better than anyone and should use their own judgement when choosing holiday gifts for their children.

Dozens of toys line store aisles and parents can be overwhelmed with all the choices. For parents that are trying to obtain that must-have toy for Christmas, they may find limited supplies. The following are proving to be the most desired toys for the 2019 holiday season to help parents keep ahead of the rush.

There’s a trend in toys for younger kids that foster nurturing and those that provide an element of surprise. Young social media influencers are even reaching kids and having a hand in the toys for which kids are clamoring.

Blume Dolls

Kids love surprises and Blume dolls by Skyrocket offer just that. A little bit of water activates the slow-rise foam of the doll’s hair and it springs from the soil like a plant. It’s like magic for kids and the pot doubles as a play set. At a cost of $9.99, it’s also affordable.

Scruff-A-Luvs

Offered by Little Live Pets, kids have to wash and comb the fur of their rescue pet family to determine if they have a kitten, puppy or bunny. It includes an adult and two babies. They typically retail for $29.99.

Zuru Pets Alive

Boppi the Booty Shakin Llama is the favorite robotic toy for this year, though the company offers a variety of swimming and running pets that kids can interact with in multiple ways. The recommended retail price is $24.99, but has been seen for as little as $17.99.

Hatchimal Toothless the Dragon

Kids can hatch their own baby dragon and play games like Simon Says and hot potato with this offering from Dreamworks Dragon based on the movie “How to Train Your Dragon.” The electronic toy retails for about $60.

So Much to Choose

Perennial favorites like Slime Legos and dollhouses are still popular or parents can choose a new singing Elsa Doll that’s available, along with the Nintendo Switch Lite video game and a Fortnite Jumbo Llama Loot Piñata filled with over 100 surprise good goodies. Kids can also help Rizmo the interactive musical plush toy evolve from a baby alien to fully grown adult. There’s even the Fisher-Price Kinderbot that teaches kids how to code.
