Gift shopping for kids can be tough, especially when you’re trying to pick gifts that are truly engaging. We love choosing kids’ gifts that are useful, educational, or add to an ongoing collection. Our Top Gift Picks for kids include a little bit of everything; from collectible dolls and STEM toys to brain-stimulating building sets and interactive discovery activities!
The American Girl WellieWishers are a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. These collectible dolls have their own clothing collection, accessories, props and furniture. Girls can even dress up to match with coordinating outfits and the iconic WellieWisher socks & boots.
For girls who love building, American Girl Mega Construx play sets allow girls to enter the worlds of popular American Girl characters in miniature form. These adorable sets are so detailed and feature the cutest little tiny dolls and accessories.
Revelae Kids cloth snack bags are a simple and stylish way to take snacks on the go. These Eco-friendly cloth bags have a moisture resistant interior and come in 15 different colorful and modern prints. Perfect for crackers, sandwiches and dry snacks or even accessories and cosmetics.
Loog guitars are designed to make learning to play a guitar easier for kids. These 3-string guitars reduce chords to the basic triad, allowing for an easier and faster learning process. With a Loog guitar and its accompanying app, kids can play songs on day one, feeling rewarded and encouraged to keep on playing and learning. Perfect for the little musician in your family!
RoosterFin Games combine the fun of board games with the joy of learning. The whole family will enjoy playing Ninja Squirrels and taking turns flipping cards into the center of the ring. When there is a color match, each player tries to snatch the correct nut. Kids practice color identification and motor skills while collecting acorns. Players compete in Monkeys Up to get the highest set of three monkeys. Each monkey has a value hidden under its feet that is only revealed when flipped. The game moves quickly and is keeps all kids engaged!

Award-winning Modarri cars fuel a child’s creativity and learning as they develop their fine motor skills, logic, and imagination through countless hours of hands-on, explorative play.
Choo Choo Shoes make sounds like a choo choo train. Stomp and they chug. Jump and they whistle and light up! Similar to the widely popular light-up shoes, Choo Choo Shoes provide kids with a fun excuse to get moving. Sensors inside react in different ways to motions with train sounds and lights. The soles of the shoes even make railroad track prints in the dirt!
Window Jammers are a collectible travel entertainment toy designed to spark the imagination of young travelers. Kids can maneuver the collectible characters to drive, fly, flip, roll and tumble over the passing landscape against the inside of a closed window.
Created in Ireland, The Field replica farm field toy features lush green grass, hedging, traditional wooden farm gates, farm animals, and helps inspire real world, creative and imaginative play.
The Sleep Zzz Pillow is especially designed for children ages 3 and up! The Sleep Zzz Pillow was created by a mom entrepreneur for her own child with sensory issues. She found that this innovative kid-sized body pillow provided her child with the comfort needed to fall asleep faster and most importantly STAY asleep! The Sleep Zzz Pillow is designed with a super soft cuddle fabric and allows the child to feel snuggly and safe while surrounded by their very own body pillow!
Sudsy Dough moldable soap is an interactive, sensory kids’ bath activity that doubles as a moldable scented dough and a cleansing soap. Kids can squeeze and squish Sudsy Dough in the bath, rub it on as body wash, or take it outside the tub and let it dry to make custom-shaped soaps.
