An inflatable water slide with an impressive climbing wall that'll turn your tykes into miniature Alex Honnold rock climbers, but without the stress of them *actually* free soloing (like they keep trying to do at the darn playground). It has a bunch of spraying features to amp up the challenge and keep them cool in the hot sun.
An inflatable waterslide starring two basketball hoops, water fountains, and an awesome cannon that'll earn you major cool points with your kids this summer. You'll all be splish-splashin' your way through the next heat wave.

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.

That was my concern with things you push together and take apart. For the price it is great!" —anonymousPrice: $7.97 A Hot Wheels City motorized raceway play set because you know this toy has some serious staying power and will inspire the next generation of gearheads. Do you still sometimes wish you still had your own set? Yes, yes, you do. Buckle up for a good time! Promising review: "Purchased this for my grandson's fourth birthday. He loves the small cars. So far, he has enjoyed this set very much and is constantly playing with it. The set was received as advertised and promptly. All parts seem to be durable. I would recommend this set. My grandson is 4 years old." —marcusPrice: $39.94 A classic 150-piece set of wooden blocks that will stack up against any other toy. Littles love building their own cities and towers... and you love watching them knock it all over as you knock out your to-do list. Promising review: "The blocks come in different shapes, colors, and sizes. They are perfect for little hands to hold. My 1-year-old grandson and I have had a great time building and knocking over blocks. I'm looking forward to playing blocks with him for the next several years." —PatriciaPrice: $16.88 A LeapFrog 100 Words book which will teach your little words in English AND Spanish — all while they're happily playing and learning names for things. That's a win-win. Promising review: "This interactive children's book is fantastic! The activities and illustrations keep kids engaged, and it's packed with interesting content. While there are more words than expected, it's great for sparking conversations and encouraging early readers to explore new vocabulary. Perfect for curious minds!" —AxelPrice: $18.88 A wooden Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar that is super fun to play with but, as a bonus, might help you convince the kids later that they do, indeed, need a jacket, and no, it's not shorts weather.

Promising review: "Our 3-year-old LOVES it. It has push buttons that play rhythms along with the melody of prerecorded tracks. She plays along, sings into the mic and has us join in. I wish the built-in strap were adjustable, but she doesn't mind as she often walks around with the guitar hanging across her torso, looking for her next duet! Great family fun!!" —ZeePrice: $24.99+ (originally $49.99; available in five colors) A Furby allowing kiddos to experience the same thrill of staring into those big, wide eyes and communicating with this chirpy creature that you did as a kid. But these Furbies have had a serious glow-up — they even come with mindfulness exercises now! Promising review: "Love this new version of Furby. My favorite features are the light show and calming (I can't remember the actual name right now) sessions. The calm part is great bc it takes you through breathing exercises and relaxes you. This Furby also comes some old beloved antics." —Panda1213Price: $34.95+ (originally $69.99; available in two colors) Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
