Bluey's dad has got nothing on you.
1. A play couch that can be anything they need it to be: a pirate ship, a fort, and a great spot for you to cuddle up and read all your favorite books to them. Start imagining together!
Walmart
2. A ride-on electric Mercedes-Benz toy car, so your favorite toddler can ride in style. Here's a sign of true love: You bought your kid a car that's nicer than yours.
Walmart
Promising review:"This is a cute and nicely designed ride-on toy. It has very nice working features, including music, a horn, and working lights. The remote control allows the adult to control the ride when the child is unable. Great value." — Paulette
3. A slime kit featuring their favorite Squishmallow characters, because anything that involves slime, glitter, and other mix-ins is a guaranteed good time, right? It's a fun sensory experience for you, too!
Walmart
Promising review:"The packaging itself is exciting! The girls loved how everything was displayed and couldn't wait to open it. The slime and decor included is great quality and it's a great activity to pass time. Highly recommended purchase." — Grkqt
Price: $14.97
4. A Furby so these kiddos can experience the same thrill of staring into those big, wide eyes and communicating with this chirpy creature. But these Furbies have had a serious glow-up — they even come with mindfulness exercises now! It's the perfect thing for you to play with together.
Walmart
Promising review:"Love this new version of Furby. My favorite features are the light show and calming sessions. The calm part is great because it takes you through breathing exercises and relaxes you. This Furby also comes with some old beloved antics." — Panda1213
5. A Nerf basketball laundry basket because laundry isn't fun but guess what? YOU are. Unleash your inner Mary Poppins and turn everyday chores into games.
Walmart
6. A Kinetic Sand set for endless hours of beach-like play but without actually needing to take a crazy family vacation. This sand sticks together, so cleanup will be as easy as a tropical breeze.
Walmart
7. A Little Tikes pretend pizza-making kit, which features ingredients made out of a reusable, moldable material — making the experience more tactile and realistic for your aspiring chefs. Playing restaurant is now easy as (pizza) pie!
Walmart
Promising review:"Super cute item! I bought it as a gift for my daughter (6 years old). Love the detail with the set and amount of accessories that come with it." — mommalovestoshop
8. A set of Stomp Rockets that are out-of-this-world fun. They get to play outside and you get to impress them with how high you can make the rocket go up. Is there anything more entertaining than kids yelling "3-2-1, blast off!" at you?
Walmart
Promising review:"This provided so much fun for the entire family...I can't believe how much time my family spent outside Christmas Eve playing with this rocket. It was a gift for my 5-year-old and his cousins (ages 6,9,14), my husband, my brother, and my dad had the most fun with this!" — EDemp
Price: $15.99
9. A Bop It!, because you were the master back in the day and you have to pass on your skills to the next gen. It's been a while since you've had "bop it, twist it, pull it" stuck in your head, hasn't it? Show them what you got.
Walmart
Promising review:"The item arrived quickly in discreet packaging. It was pretty easy to unbox and get started. After one demonstration, my kids (4 and 7) were anxious to try it out. They have played it almost every day, sometimes several times a day, ever since. We have even had family competitions, and this was such a fun, nostalgic game from my and my husband's childhood. Great way to make fun memories while helping the kids build motor and listening skills." — Lala
10. A rainbow loom bracelet-making kit, which will lead to a lot of good times with a serious side of nostalgia for you. This could keep a '90s kid occupied for HOURS and the kids in your life must learn from the best.
Walmart
Promising review:"Great for the price! Easy instructions. Comes with the mount to hold the rubber bands. My 7-year-old's new obsession!! Can bring this anywhere and everywhere. Love it has the carrying case. And when the rubber bands run out you can refill the case." — Walmart Customer
11. A dinosaur egg excavation kit with 12 eggs (and tiny dinos inside!) that will inspire a budding paleontologist — and make their boredom go extinct. This is the perfect setup for imaginative play with the two of you. You've seen Jurassic Park. You know what to do.
Walmart
Promising review:"Fun! My grandkids had an interesting time opening these dinosaur eggs. They must be cracked open outside. It can get rather sandy when digging the dinosaur out of the egg. It was well worth the time spent after opening. The dinosaur was a wonderful reward for the future archeologists!" — Laurel
12. A 37-piece set of Magna-Tiles, which will be a staple in the house for years to come. You're not just building towers together, you're building the foundation for a relationship that will change and grow over a lifetime.
Walmart
Promising review:"We purchased the Magna-Tiles for our 4-year-old grandson's birthday because our other grandchildren, ages 8–16, play with a set we keep at our house. After giving the gift to the 4-year-old, he was playing and building with them the next day." — Steve
13. A Barbie Dreamhouse Pool Party house because you'd do anything for your little doll and you will NOT hold back. Let's be real, this isn't just Barbie's Dreamhouse...it's yours, too.
Walmart
Promising review:"The coolest dream house I've ever seen. At almost 30, I'm wildly impressed and jealous of my 6-year-old. It's so neat! The attention to detail and neat traits it has — like an oven light, stovetop sounds, functional doors, toilet sound, and a whole elevator! Very cool. It's easy to put together but will take a little time just because it's a lot. Also, it's huge. Prob 3 feet high and 3 feet wide." — Charlene
14. A LeapFrog globe game with a small screen that shows videos so you can share your passion for travel with them. You're basically giving the gift of wanderlust. But also? This toy is sneakily educational, with thousands of facts about the various countries and their capitals.
Walmart
15. A Hot Wheels City Ultimate Garage playset because you know this toy has some serious staying power and will inspire the next generation of gearheads. Do you still sometimes wish you had your own set? Yes, yes you do. Buckle up for a good time!
Walmart
Promising review:"I bought this for my 5-year-old son. He loves it to death. As soon as he wakes up in the morning, he wants to play with his new toy. And then he goes to school and then when he gets home, he plays with it the rest of the day. It's been a week now. He's been playing with it every day." — David
16. A Mr. Potato Head, which is just plain silly and classic for a reason. Your favorite tater tots will sprout smiles and get a real kick out of having his hands come out of his head and his eyes where his mouth should be!
Walmart
Promising review:"Mr. Potato Head is a classic toy that never stops entertaining children. The kids love this toy. It is easy for their little hands to manipulate and change the parts. Lots of fun and laughter as they make silly faces and interchange the legs and arms or have a nose for an arm." — Jeanne
17. A 484-piece Lego Classic set with all the bricks they need to become Master Builders. It comes with an ideas book to get the ideas flowing — no Kragle needed. Ever. Everything is awesome!
Walmart
Promising review:"My 8-year-old loves this set. It is perfect for her to create different Lego designs with instructions that walk her all the way through. She's never played with Legos before this and I think it's the perfect starter pack." — Tanda
18. A 36-inch tall Bluey stuffie that brings their favorite character (real talk: and yours) off the TV and into their arms. When they see their new friend, your Bluey fan will be asking you, "for real life?!" Now, which game are you going to play first? Keepy-uppy? Hotel? Unicorse?
Walmart
Promising review:"I recently purchased the 36-inch Bluey stuffed animal, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! This plush toy is incredibly soft and cuddly, making it perfect for hugs and snuggles. The attention to detail is impressive, capturing Bluey's cheerful expression and vibrant colors beautifully. At 36 inches tall, it's a substantial size that stands out and makes a fantastic gift for any Bluey fan. Whether for playtime adventures or simply as a comforting companion, this Bluey stuffed animal is sure to bring joy to children and adults alike. Highly recommended!" — tbsteele
19. A three-piece gardening set because going outside and getting a little dirty is THE BEST. Bonus: You get a headstart training them take on your actual yard work (when they're old enough)! Show them what to do and they'll love it.
Walmart
Promising review:"This set is the real deal. It's basically a mini version of what an adult uses. The sticks are real wood and thick. I bought this set for my nephew, who is strong and husky. These may be a little on the heavy side for a smaller child. I am very happy with the purchase. These are good quality." — SunnyCa805
Price: $16.99
20. A Clue Jr. board game, which is actually double-sided so they get two games in one. One day, you'll completely shock them with your powers of deduction in solving the murder of Mr. Boddy, but, for now, figuring out who caused mischief in the classroom will do. Is Friday night your new family game night?
Walmart
Promising review:"I bought this for my 10-, 8-, and 6-year-old twins. We all played it for over an hour (several games.) It is easy enough that one of my 6-year-olds took it to class for game day and taught his friends to play it. It can get moderately competitive, is challenging enough that the kids haven't lost interest, and they love solving a mystery. I appreciate games that can help baby-step my kids into some of my favorite board games!" — Annie5678
21. A 30-inch beginner guitar (with accessories!) so your sweet Swiftie can enter their musician era. Get ready for all the free living room shows you're about to play pretend in — friendship bracelets encouraged.
Walmart
Promising review:"This is a really nice guitar. I purchased it for my 5-year-old grandson and the first thing my daughter said was, 'this guitar is real wood' and that's one of my main reasons for buying it, so it'll last a while. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Oh and it comes with needed accessories." — sunshin514
22. An indoor doorway gym set that is perfect for those rainy days when the kids are quite literally climbing up the walls. Set this up and you are officially the COOLEST because you brought the playground to them.
Walmart
Promising review:"Adjustable lengths. It is strong enough for an adult and fun for toddlers. Just read the instructions on how it fits in the door jam, not the whole frame. Videos are showing set up and installation too." — Fi
23. A karaoke machine so you can impress the kids with your Mariah covers. This isn't the simple, tinny machine of your childhood — this baby has LED lights that synchronize to the music, a cradle to hold your phone or tablet to display lyrics, a USB port for the ability to record and share your performance, and professional voice effects.
Walmart
Promising review:"This thing rocks! My kids and I couldn't wait to open it. Out of the box it was super easy to set up and connect to our iPad (which fits in the cradle securely). I wasn't quite sure how the sound would compare since it's a bit smaller than our previous karaoke machine, but the sound quality is phenomenal and the light show was super fun. When not using it for karaoke, the kids are using it for an outdoor speaker while they are playing basketball. I would definitely recommend this machine for anyone looking for a great gift for their kids." — FranklinTheTanklin
24. A Radio Flyer 3-in-1 Tailgater Wagon, because you've got places to go and things to see. Put the kids in the wagon and get the good times rolling. Who wants to go get ice cream?!
Walmart
Promising review:"Bought this wagon for my 2-year-old granddaughter and her best friend when we take them to the park and such...I love it! Has shade, turns into a bench, is very lightweight, fits nicely in the trunk, two cup holders, and my favorite part is it has a folding shelf that you can use to put your cooler or whatnot on and secure it!!!! Can't go wrong with this wagon." — VeryFrequentShopper
25. A set of hand puppets so the show can go on, and on, and on. Next thing you know, they've forgotten all about their tablet, and you're helping them making scenery out of a cardboard box.
Walmart
27. A 15-piece cookie cutter set (perfect for sandwiches!) that will make you feel like one of those Pinterest-y grown-ups who spends hours making super cute lunches... and absolutely delight your kiddo every time they open their lunchbox. They might even eat something.
Walmart
Promising review:"School lunch prep success! I love the convenience of the box and I actually enjoy making cute sandwiches for my son during summer camp. This way, I can make a couple of different varieties and it's fun for him too!" — Devon
Price: $5.58
