Here are some tried and true recs from an internet mom friend (me).
1. A very charming toy kitchen, the MVP of imaginative play, which is also made out of real wood. Is it weird that a toy kitchen might serve as the inspo for the reno you've been dreaming of? Nope.
Target
Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this kitchen. We had a kid's craft before that was given to our kids as a Christmas present, which did NOT hold up well. It was broken within the first week or so. We held onto it for as long as we could until I found something I liked, researched what would last, and held up to its standards for the price. I love that this is actual WOOD! Not some FAKE wood. It is so cute as well. It did not take too long to put together either, and I would say maybe an hour and a half max for the kitchen and the refrigerator with two people. Definitely worth getting if you are thinking about it." — kb
Price: $139.99
2. A blackout curtain panel with tiny tassels, because you must protect the naps AT ALL COSTS. Keep 'em napping for as long as you can!
Target
Each panel sold separately.
Promising review:"Very happy with these curtains for my daughter's room, blocks out [the] sun and [they] look pretty!" — Purchase
3. A pack of Magna-Tiles, a fantastic building system that will get used over and over and over again. Pro tip: commit to one building toy type and then just keep adding to it! It will still feel new to your crew and clean up will be MUCH easier.
Target
Promising review:"Creative play is endless with this toy. Nine months after buying our daughter keeps consistently coming back to play with her magnetic tiles. When our family gets together, all of the cousins (age range 1–8) will play with them. We've since gifted these tiles to two friends, and both moms later told me that they are one of their favorite presents." — Honest Mom
4. An outdoor lawnmower toy, because nothing is cuter than a toddler on a mission to mimic the world around them...and nothing is better for them (and the sitter!) than being outside!
Target
Promising review:"I'm not lying when I say my toddler ran to this toy when he saw it. He loves seeing people mowing when we go on our walks and watching his dad mow our yard, so it was a no-brainer purchase. No regrets! He gets the biggest smile pushing it around the house and has even started taking it on our walks around the neighborhood." — Livvielou
5. A TonieBox starter set that comes with a Toy Story Tonie. This has been a staple in our home for YEARS now — my kiddos love choosing what music and stories they get to listen to and the Tonies (sold separately) come in all of their favorite characters.
Target
Each additional Tonie is $17.99. Need a rec? The Moana Tonie is VERY popular at my house!
Promising review:"I have three kids and this is our third TonieBox! Tonies are so universally loved in our house that we needed one for each child. They all love listening to the tonies while playing/drawing/falling asleep. These are durable and worth every penny." — TheBarkingLot
6. A toddler bowling set so you can transform your own home into a super fun bowling alley. Find the perfect room or a hallway and let the good times *roll*!
Target
Promising review:"This is a fun little bowling set. We've actually bought a second one as a gift since we liked it so much. The quality is nice and the pins make noise when falling over. We like that the whole set can be stored away in the included holder. Beware — the bowling ball is pretty hard so watch out if you have a toddler that throws things…wink wink.." — MC
Price: $17.99
7. A set of fun sheets to go with that brand-new big-kid bed. (Ahhh!) These will go perfectly with your nightly reading of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site.
Target
8. A super durable and leakproof kids' bento box, which will actually help you organize your brain and figure out what you need to put in there. Pssst: If you want to include a sweet treat, M&Ms look pretty cute in the circle compartment.
Target
Promising review:"I purchased this for my 7-year-old daughter. She had been asking for it after seeing some friends at her school lunch use one. She loves it! She specifically likes that her food stays in its own compartment and doesn't touch. She is a very picky eater, so this is a way to get her to help me get creative and think of ideas for each section. She takes it five days a week to school and has been very happy. No leaks!! Easy to open on her own. Very easy to clean." — mommymo
9. A surprisingly sleek spill-proof snack cup that is perfect for little hands...messy, clumsy, adorable little hands. The backseat of your car will thank you.
Target
Promising review:"I have a toddler, so snack time is all of the time! We love Mushie products, so we tried this snack cup, and I am so glad we did! It goes where she goes, keeps the snacks inside even when she runs with it/shakes it, is easy to clean, and is just as much of an extension of her as her binky is. I 10/10 on this product design, color palette, and aesthetic! Definitely recommend!" — SarahD628
10. A two-pack of faucet extenders, because hand washing is so important, and your back isn't meant to hoist a 40-pound child closer to a sink over and over again.
Target
11. A conditioning hair detangler from The Honest Company, so your long-haired little won't hate having their luscious locks brushed. Now that you aren't dreading such a basic everyday task, maybe you can let your hair down a little, too!
Target
Promising review:"This has been the best clean ingredient detangling spray that I have ever tried. My daughter has super tangly hair, and our hard water doesn't help; this spray allows me to brush easily after her shower with no fuss. It leaves her hair silky smooth, and it smells DIVINE! I use it myself as well! Checks all the boxes for me." — KellyM
Price: $7.79
12. A folding travel potty seat, because you can't stay at home forever while potty training. You have to get out there, and your little one is going to have to go (probably at a really inconvenient time)! Now, you're prepared.
Target
Promising review:"This is seriously such a brilliant little invention. The carrying bag makes this easy to pop into a diaper bag or an overnight bag instead of carting around an entire potty seat. The suction cups make it so this doesn't slip and slide on different toilet seats. This has been the easiest way to make sure we don't get behind on potty training while visiting family members this holiday season!" — Haley
13. An adorable kid-size corduroy chair, which is perfect for looking at a picture book, watching a show, or even for those oh-so-pleasant moments when they need a calm-down corner.
Target
Promising review:"My daughter is one, and she loves this chair. She will happily sit on it and watch Bluey all day. It's very comfy to lay and sit on. My 8-year-old sits on it from time to time, also. I would recommend this chair!" — Ash
14. A wooden Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar you might even be able to use to convince your kids that they do, indeed, need a jacket, and no, it's not shorts weather. Time saver!
Target
15. A My First Flybar foam pogo hopper, for those crazy times when your children are bouncing off the walls and you're still finishing up work. Let them get the wiggles out in a healthy way on this safe, foam bouncer.
Target
Promising review:"Keeps my 3-year-old entertained in the house. I love it. It's safe and the squeaking does not bother me at all. Can't beat the price. Highly recommend." — Brybear
16. A rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled children's toothbrush with an accompanying app that will get your kiddos pretty pumped to brush their teeth each day and night. Clean teeth without a fight? Take that win.
Target
Promising review:"This is the most incredible toothbrush for any kid that has any issues brushing. The app is a great fun tool my little one loves. She now looks forward to brushing and has brushed twice in a row just to get a gift from her sparkly." — TC
17. A Welly first-aid kit that fits perfectly in your bag, because parents know the importance of a bandage when it comes to boo-boos. And these colorful ones especially apply to boo-boos that don't technically even need a bandage.
Target
This 24-piece set includes bandages, hand sanitizer, antibiotic ointment, and a cool carrying case.
Promising review:"The cutest mini first-aid kit. I like that it's small enough to conveniently carry in my purse. The adorable [bandage] prints make booboos less sad for our little ones. It is a little pricey but worth it because of the thoughtful design and compact size. I bought one for my husband to keep handy, too." — Sha Sha Shopper
Price: $6.99
18. A toddler tower so your little one can safely reach the counter, and you can make those picture-perfect memories baking cookies together. We have used this for both our kids, and it has lasted us for years!
Target
Promising review:"We personally own two of these towers, one for each toddler. My daughter has been using hers for two years now, and it's been a game-changer. She is able to cook with me, learn how to make food from scratch and have fun in the kitchen. I would recommend this toddler tower to any parent!" — Meaghan W
19. An apple slicer that makes 16 perfect, thin, snack-size slices every single time. Listen, kids demand a LOT of snacks, so you'll want this secret weapon in your tool belt.
Target
Promising review:"This slicer works great! I love how smooth it cuts regardless of the shape of the apple. I also love that it has the bottom part to finish, pushing it through at the end. Last, I purposely bought it for the smaller slices, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend for moms and anyone else who loves apple slices for snacks and meals." — Toddler Mom
20. A Hatch sound machine, which has a very loyal group of followers for a reason — it's a night-light and white noise machine that can eventually turn into a sleep trainer for toddlers. Anything that leads to healthy sleep habits is a parent's dream come true.
Target
Promising review:"Lives up to the good reviews! This sound machine has many different options for sounds and light colors. You can make your own presets on the app for your favorite settings for quick access. My baby loves it, but we also love it so much!! Before the baby was here, we used it in our room to get used to it, and it is so relaxing and helped us sleep even better!" — Emthebrowser
21. A bath towel that can entice even the most reluctant of bathers to get into the water... but more importantly, it'll get them OUT of the water when it's time.
Target
Promising review:"These towels are perfect for our toddler and big enough to still grow with him. The quality is great; they are thick and super cute. I wish I had these from the start!" — KF
22. A four-pack of Re-Play divided plates to make feeding your littles even easier. This is the brand my family has used for more than five years, so I can personally speak to their durability and let me tell you...they're the real deal.
Target
Promising review:"Just bought another set! I love these plates. I already own about 10 of these and bought the earthy-colored set. These are the best! The ones I've had for YEARS still look new/great! They are not just toddler plates. Even my 6-year-old uses them; they're still big enough for him. Kids of any age can use these. I can't brag about these plates enough. They are hands down the best." — amberlar96
23. A Bluey invisible ink book, because when you're traveling in the car or a plane you can't play keepy-uppy, or obstacle course, or hotel...but this is just as fun!
Target
Promising review:"I purchased this for an airplane ride for my 18-month-old, and it was perfect and mess-free! I recommend!" — Audlynn
Price: $5.99
24. An all-in-one kneeler and elbow saver, which TBH is PURE GENIUS. Bathtime can be so fun for LOs (once you manage to get them in the tub, of course), but it can be a literal pain for grown-ups. Now you just need a splash guard.
Target
Promising review:"Amazing for bath time! I think I'd have no knees without it. If you have a taller than normal bathtub it might not work as well, but it works great for us!" — Mom
Price: $28.49
25. A six-pack of plain, white socks, because life is simply too short (and chaotic) to be sorting toddler socks. We invested in a bunch of these with my son, and they were still in good condition for my daughter a couple of years later. Simplify your life with these and you'll never go back!
Target
Promising review:"I bought these for my two-year-old, and they fit her perfectly. I love that they have a small grip; they have a bottom part of the sock. They wash nicely and do not shrink. I'll be purchasing more before they run out!" — Ivethoh
Price: $7
