27 Walmart Products That Are Just Begging To Be Put In An Easter Basket
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Basket fillers they're sure to get ~egg-cited~ about. 1. An adorable 14-ounce Peeps-shaped tumbler (with a straw!) because it's Easter and the theme should always be Peeps EVERYTHING. 2. An ~egg-citing~ pack of pre-filled Easter eggs, each containing a different fidget toy keychain, in case you have A LOT of Easter baskets to fill. These are relaxing, fun, and inexpensive — the trifecta of awesome for basket fillers. Walmart 3. A Bunny 3-in-1 Lego set that's both fun and on-theme for the holiday. This set is great because it can be taken apart and turned into a seal and a llama — making it so much better than a one-and-done build. Walmart Promising review: "A cute gift to begin with. To build, this is such a great experience for small motor skills and training a creative mind to be able to follow directions. It's also the perfect gift for Easter, not just for children, but teenage girls would love it. Plus, it's healthier than getting candy. Also a must-have for anyone who collects animals of Lego or a rabbit toy exclusive collection. I don't want to give it away!" — Bonnie 4. And a classic solid milk chocolate Hershey's bunny rabbit because if you're going to give them a basket load of chocolate, you might as well make sure it's the good stuff. Walmart 5. AND a super cute stuffed bunny that's great for literally any age — because we all need another stuffed friend in our lives. Reviewers love just how high quality this stuffy is and how even their grown-up children have loved it. Walmart 6. A seriously fun — and seriously well-reviewed — Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game that's simple enough for kids to play with each other but fun enough that you'll want to join in, too! And with gameplay that lasts about 10 minutes, you don't have to dedicate your entire afternoon to memory-making. Walmart My family absolutely loves this game. It really doesn't take long, and my 5-year-old can play with no help (although I throw a few rounds every now and then to even the playing field). It's silly, easy, and quick — my three requirements for a game with young kids. Promising review: "This game is awesome! We have played with only adults and with kids and both have been great experiences. The youngest child in the group we played with was 5, and they kept up well. Highly recommend to pass the time." — Jessica 7. A classic pin art toy for some old school, guaranteed giggles. The pure joy of seeing an imprint of your face in rainbow just does not get old. My youngest kid has one of these, and I do not regret the purchase for a second. Walmart 8. A harmonica to get that musical talent up and running. Stay with me here — my oldest got one of these in a treasure box a while ago and I was NOT enthusiastic about the choice. But it's actually really hard not to sound like a musical prodigy on a harmonica, and I love how impressed she is by her own music. And when I've had enough, it's easy enough to say, "Enough harmonica for the day!" and away it goes. A slam dunk Easter basket addition. Walmart Promising review: "My 7-year-old LOVES this harmonica! Also, it's very durable, as she can be a little rough with her toys, but it's still as perfect as it was when we received it. 5/5" — Misty 9. A flower-themed bubble blower that'll provide the simple joy of bubbles without the accompanying lightheadedness from prolonged "MORE BUBBLES." Fill the reservoir. Press the button. Put your feet up. Sip something with an umbrella in it. Bask in successfully setting up fun once again. Walmart 10. A rock-painting kit for flexing that creativity muscle. They can leave their creations around to make others smile, or they can jazz up your yard. Either way, a little quiet inside fun that can get them outside when the weather is nice is a win! Walmart Promising review: "Wish I would have ordered way more of these! They are perfect! So easy for young children and perfect for older kids (or adults) who want to have fun painting and decorating rocks. My 3-year-old took right to this, and my 8-year-old loved using the stickers! Also, the paint dried quickly, so we could do more without having to wait!" — alyse Price: $12.50 11. A nostalgic and super easy Velcro toss-and-catch game that will provide them with the fun of playing catch regardless of their hand-eye prowess (or lack thereof). Walmart 12. A NeeDoh Nice Cube — aka the single greatest fidget/stress ball in existence. My neurodiverse kiddo has been through ALL THE FIDGETS and has landed on this one as the best. It's durable, has plenty of resistance, and always goes back into shape. Walmart Promising review: "I bought this for my almost 3-year-old son and for my 5-year-old nephew for Christmas, and I love these things!! It's so satisfying and durable! It washes off so easily with just a rinse! Just make sure not to throw it as it's super solid with any force ('cause science). Love it!" — SJP 13. A set of travel-size magnetic tiles for a *little* screen-free entertainment. It's everything they love about magnetic tiles, but smaller and easier to store. Honestly, it's a no-lose situation for anyone and great for most ages. Walmart Promising review: "My son loved these. I keep them in my bag when we go to restaurants. We let him play with them at the table before the food comes. They are like normal Magna-Tiles but mini. The price point is a little high but the quality is there. Also, I love that they come with a high-quality travel case. Would buy again. An easy toy to bring on the go." — Keri 14. A pack of twistable colored pencils in case you have an artist who you definitely do not trust with a pencil sharpener. Plus, these pencils will save them the heartache of continuously snapping off the colored part. 🙌 Walmart Promising review: "My 4-1/2-year-old daughters LOVE these! They color every day, and these are their go-to crayons. These allow my girls to stay in the lines better and are also great for writing their letters clearly, unlike normal crayons where letters can get smudged and messy looking." — Twincuties 15. A Stitch plush since the new movie is coming out this year, which will absolutely reinvigorate their Stitch obsession (and yours!) in time for the premiere. Walmart Promising review: "This is large and great quality material for the price. I just loved it. Would definitely recommend for all your Stitch lovers. 💙 They will enjoy snuggling these characters for years!" — Michelle Price: $10 16. A musical "game controller" for your baby who is drawn to your Xbox controller but who is also completely ruining your high score. Plus, what baby doesn't love the sheer joy of pressing buttons? Walmart Promising review: "My baby loves it! She always wants the game controller of her dad's, so this was perfect to occupy her. While he's on the game, she acts like she is playing with him! She's 10-months-old." — Yasmin 17. A toddler flashlight to give them the simple pleasure of playing with a flashlight without the added terror of them staring directly into it. Whether it's learning colors or having fun trying to do shadow puppets together, this flashlight is a great addition to the toddler toy stash. Walmart Promising review: "It's a cute little flashlight. My son loves it, and we don't give him a real one because he shines them in his eyes. This one is made for children, so it doesn't hurt their eyes." — Ashley 18. A two-pack of foam soap for the ultimate sensory experience inside or outside of the bath. Foam soap is awesome for kids of various ages and can be used in so many ways. I've put it on a cookie sheet and mixed it with water beads for extra sensory fun, but you can also put it in the bath so it just goes right down the drain. Either way, it's sure to bring some Easter delight. Walmart Promising review: "My kids absolutely LOVE playing with this bath foam!!! It comes off easily and doesn't leave any stains. The price is great for how much comes in each can, and so far, every kind I have bought has smelled great! Just a really cool fun thing for your kids to use at bath time!" — anonymous Price: $6.17 19. A set of neon-colored Play-Doh to up-level your Play-Doh experience if those plain old colors have gotten old. These bright colors will bring that "summertime-is-so-close-I-can-taste-it" feeling that late April can bring. Walmart 20. A Bluey bubble wand for your little one who can't stop watching the Heelers. Coax them outside with the lure of bubbles and the Bluey theme song playing in tandem. I mean, it would work for me, and I'm the parent. Walmart Don't forget to pick up AAA batteries! Promising review: "My granddaughter loves this. It blows a huge amount of bubbles. I highly recommend it." — Dale Price: $12.93 21. A pack of Crayola sidewalk chalk so they can take their creativity outside in the fresh air where it should be for a change. Sidewalk chalk is fun for all ages, and your summer stash from last year is probably ready for a change out, anyway. Walmart Promising review: "Chalk can go really fast with my kids, but these have lasted a while. There are so many beautiful colors and a great price for the quality and quantity." — Mollie Price: $2.54 for a pack of 24 (originally $2.97) 22. A set of fine-tipped pastel markers for coloring those precious springtime art pieces. My kids LOVE these markers because they're durable, easy-to-use, and have a fine tip that actually works for coloring books. Walmart Promising review: "My kids go through markers like crazy. I love that these are a little better for detail than classic kid markers but still affordable. Love the colors in this set, too! The pastels are really fun and unique. Always fun to have new color options to work with!" — Lila Price: $3.58 (originally $13; also available in a three-pack) 23. A mini Bop-It to relive your own childhood excitement through your kids. And if you need to teach them some humility by absolutely dominating, that's no one's business but yours (go get 'em). Walmart Promising review: "I got this for my 8-year-old son for Christmas. He loves it, and my husband and I are having a blast playing. It's super nostalgic since we both played as kids!" — Jaci Price: $9.84 (originally $22) 24. A TikTok-famous Kanoodle brain teaser puzzle that allows them to solve 200 puzzles in one small package. This is a great boredom buster for waiting rooms, a fun challenge for puzzle lovers, and an activity that'll get those strategy skills flowing without beeps, buzzes, or crashes. Walmart Promising review: "I got this for my daughter's 11th birthday goodie bag, and she was so excited! She's been playing with it nonstop for the last three weeks. I'm always looking for games and activities that have nothing to do with screen time. And this one definitely keeps her attention." — tiana Price: $9.97 25. A camera with an instant-print option because not knowing how a picture is going to turn out might be a distant memory to you, but to them, it's positively MIND-BLOWING. You're going to love seeing all of the photos they call art, no matter how unsteady their hand is. Walmart Promising review: "Well worth the purchase!!! Very kid-friendly. My 7-year-old loves it!!! Great quality, fun little gadget! The pictures are so detailed!" — Kally Price: $31.98 (originally $49.98; available in two colors) 26. A low-stakes egg-toss game that's fun for the whole family. This soft egg can sense when it's being passed or dropped, and saves you the task of cleaning up yolk splatter or having a rogue egg hit someone in the noggin. Walmart Promising review: "What a great toy. We all played with it on Easter morning. We were amazed at how smart this interactive toy was. We laughed and played with it for hours. We will definitely bring it on vacation with us, too." — Martha Price: $24.99 (available in pink or blue) 27. A set of high-quality over-ear headphones because if they need headphones for technology, they might as well be comfortable. They can also hook together so two kids can watch the same thing at the same time without a fight — pure bliss. Walmart Promising review: "These seem to be my child's favorite kind. They are comfortable, and the sound is good. The first pair lasted over a year, and he asked for another one just like them." — Mandy Price: $11.90+ (originally $24.99; available in two versions, seven colors, and in a two-pack) Need ingredients for all your new recipes?

27 Walmart Products You May Not Have Thought To Get Before Your Family Vacation
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Consider this your packing checklist — it should cover everything that'll make trips easier for parents and kids. 1. A kids' travel tray, which is like their own little backseat workstation. The "desk" part is actually a dry-erase board, and there are dedicated holders for the two most important things for kids on long car trips: tablets and water bottles. Walmart Promising review:"Used this for my two boys driving over 2,000 miles for vacation and it was A HIT! They loved it and so did I! Very functional! Easy to unclip to go to the bathroom and clip back up! Keeps everything zipped up, and nothing spills over!!!" — Violet 2. A pack of four TSA-approved travel bottles for all of the lotions and potions that babies and kids require so you don't have to travel with all of those full-size bottles taking up extra luggage space. Walmart Promising review:"Absolutely perfect! They're easy to fill and come with labels. It's perfect for my busy traveling life!" — Morgan 3. A pair of foldable, wired and wireless (thanks Bluetooth) cat ear headphones that'll purr for up to 10 hours of listening time. The adjustable headband makes them comfortable, while the light-up kitty ears make them spectacular. Walmart Promising review:"I bought these for my daughter's 8th birthday, and she absolutely loves them. The setup was very easy, and she connected them to several tablets and my phone without an issue. Bluetooth connects quickly and doesn't have any issues disconnecting. The lights are awesome and charging is a breeze." — Rachel 4. A three-pack of kids' sunglasses so little eyes stay protected, and little hands can't break them with any twisting or bending. Plus, every baby looks cool wearing these! Walmart Promising review:"Wow. These glasses are better than I expected. The material is soft and flexible; it won't hurt your kid's skin. They are very well-made and polarized!! I have to say it's the best deal ever !! My kids love them." — Lan 5. An eight-piece packing cube set that's not just for organizing suitcases for family trips. Use these to store an extra set of clothes (kids are gonna kid) in your go-bag or in the car. Walmart Promising review:"These bags are perfect! They hold so many clothes. I bought these because they were machine washable. I've washed them a few times now, and they are holding up perfectly! I like being able to organize everything. It's so much easier to go through the luggage when everything is sorted into bags." — Kristina 6. A Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game (a personal favorite of mine) where players take turns calling out the words taco, cat, goat, cheese, and pizza (in that order) until the word matches the card. But watch out for those gorilla, groundhog, and narwhal cards! Walmart Promising review:"My kids and I really like Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! You go around the circle, and each person says an item. If the card matches what you say, everyone tries to slap the deck. The last person to slap the deck must take all the cards. There are also action cards in the deck. This game keeps you on your toes, and there will be laughing!" — Lisa 7. A cordless, rechargeable car vacuum cleaner that'll clean every nook and cranny from the dashboard to the trunk for 20–30 minutes on one charge. Walmart Promising review:"I had a DustBuster years ago, but this outperforms that by miles! It has decent suction and is very easy to clean. I use this in the corners and spills in the kitchen, like flour, rice, oats, etc., or even on the counter or table for crumbs. — Jan 8. A rechargeable and flexible stroller fan with three settings so the kids (and you) can keep cool throughout your trip. Walmart 9. A 12-pack of travel-sized Purell advanced hand sanitizer gels because you can never have enough clean hands, and there's nothing worse than catching a bug while on vacation. 10. A Graco Pack 'n Play so babies can nap and sleep comfortably anywhere when traveling. It's especially helpful if it's already used regularly at home because it creates a familiar environment for snoozing. Walmart Promising review:"This is the third Graco Pack 'n Play we've purchased. We tried other brands but this one was the best quality and price. It works great while opened and is easy to close and transport." — Walmart customer 11. An Anker PowerCore Select 10000 portable charger because one of the worst moments you'll experience while traveling with kids is when their favorite device runs out of juice at the absolute worst time. This power bank allows for simultaneous charging, so no fighting over it (hopefully). Walmart Promising review:"Good size, easy to handle and hold. I charged three phones, one charger, and two small fans, including one with light. It's great to have during the hurricane season and/or if you're in an area where the power now goes out for no known reason. Great price, too!" — Jaynie 12. A 3-in-1 multi-charging cable so you can cut down on packing an excessive amount of cords, always have the right plug, and be able to juice up several devices at once. Walmart Promising review:"Oh my gosh, this is the way to go when your devices are being charged with different cords. I can plug the one into the wall adapter and then plug it into all my devices. And I do mean I plug in my Apple phone, Kindle, and new iPad all at once instead of using three different cords and switching them out all the time. What a game-changer. Little things like this sure do help." — Debra 13. A pack of 80 DEET-free mosquito repellent patches for kids and adults infused with peppermint and citronella oil for 24-hour protection. Stick one on, and those bugs won't be bothering you. 14. A six-pack of Munchkin jumbo microwave bottle sterilizer bags so you can thoroughly disinfect bottles or breastfeeding equipment by eliminating 99.9% of the most common bacteria and germs. Just add water and pop it in the microwave for as little as 90 seconds. Walmart Promising review:"I love this sterilizer bag. Before using these I would sterilize all my bottles and pump parts in a pot of boiling water. With this bag, I just toss a bunch of parts in, add a little water, and in a few minutes, I'm done. You can easily dump out the water without opening the bag and avoid burning your hands immediately by handling the bag using the cool tab. I love the check boxes on the front to remind me how many times I've used each bag. These can be used up to 30 times." — sorrycharlie625 Price: $11.11 15. A machine-washable, 70 x 60-inch packable blanket made with 100% recycled polyester fabrics. It includes a sack for easy storage in the car or a carry-on and it's great for for impromptu naps, snuggle times, or general chilling outdoors, thanks to its durable protective bottom. Walmart Promising review:"Perfect camping or trip blanket that is easily stored and lightweight for travel, and honestly does its job well in keeping one toasty and comfortable. Not to mention, the colors are beautiful, making it an attractive blanket." — Yootuni 16. An inflatable bathtub because even though you're on vacation, you still have to wash that kid, and unless otherwise requested, most hotel/motel rooms don't have a tub. Walmart Promising review:"I bought this tub for my grandson because my daughter only has a shower. And it really helped a lot. Because he's a toddler now, and she can't give him a bath in the sink anymore. And he loves it. This isn't just for babies it can be used for a toddler also." — Valery 17. A 20-pack of disposable, hooded, button-down kids' rain ponchos for those times when you forgot to check the weather app (re: most of the time) or when a storm blows in unannounced. 18. A 250-piece first aid kit packed with bandages, butterfly closures, gauze pads, ointments, examination gloves, an instant cold compress, and more for any emergencies that don't (hopefully) require a trip to the emergency room. Walmart Promising review:"This is that kit you buy, put in the back of the car, go on a road trip with friends/family, and then thank yourself for later. The kit itself is fairly inexpensive, and the first aid gear inside of it reflects that. We chose it due to its ideal size and list of contents. It is just as expected. Let's just hope we don't have to use it too often." — Jasmine 19. A UPF 50+ sun-protective, wide-brim bucket hat to keep kids' heads, faces, and necks safe from that summer sun while the drawstring keeps it secured from blowing away and getting lost. The hat also folds up for easy on-the-go storage. Walmart 20. A Philips Avent fast baby bottle warmer because babies want, nay demand, that their babas are above room temperature, and you know there will be hell to pay if they're not. Plus, most hotel rooms don't have microwaves. Walmart 21. A set of two Drop Stop car seat gap fillers (as seen on Shark Tank) that'll keep you and the kids from dropping phones, crayons, loose change, or french fries into the deep, dark, unreachable voids of your car. Walmart Promising review:"These seat gap fillers worked GREAT! EASY to install and definitely do the trick! Terrific design makes it clear that they would fit almost any car model. We have a gap that isn't very wide, and this still fits down into it. The narrow gap makes it impossible to get your hand down the side of the seat to recover things, so the gap filler is perfect!" — SherryH 22. A pack of 120 dog poop bags because, now hear me out here, you're not going to be traveling with a Diaper Genie, but you're still going to have to deal with dirty, stinky diapers piling up. Walmart 24. A Crayola Color Wonder mess-free coloring kit with markers that only work on the special coloring paper included. No more worrying about any "Redrum" happening to the walls. Walmart Promising review:"If you're looking for an item to keep your kids busy in the car or plane, you've found it! Easy to open, keeps all items contained. Great for traveling." — Erica Price: $11.27 25. A waterproof car trash can with a lid and storage pockets for instilling just a modicum of hope that you might be able to keep the car somewhat cleaner than the house. Maybe. Walmart Promising review:"I got this for my car and it hangs over the back of the passenger seat. It is well-made, comes with bags, has side pockets, and is my new favorite gift to buy for people." — TopNun Price: $20.70 26. A foldable Oxo Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty because when they gotta go, you know they gotta go! Like, right now! No bathroom? No problem; extend the legs, and voilà, you've got an instant roadside commode. This potty also lays flat on regular toilets for a more comfortable seat on the throne. Walmart Includes three disposable bags with absorbent pads and a travel bag. Promising review:"This is perfect for keeping in the back of the car for travelling. Right now, we are potty training, and we can just pull over and have him go on the side of the road. It is also perfect for public restrooms, so he feels like he won't fall in. He likes it too, which is a huge plus." — debbie Price: $20.99 (available in three colors) 27. An eight-count of grape-flavored Dramamine Motion Sickness chewables for kids so you can get through any car trip without stopping, scrambling for a plastic bag, and eventually having to clean up puke. Walmart Promising review:"My family truly enjoys this product. My kids get motion sickness when driving in the car for long periods. As long as they have Dramamine before our trip, they always do great. They love the flavor of these chewables! The little container they come in is great for travel. Highly recommend!" — Kady Price: $4.57 Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

27 Helpful Yet Cheap Walmart Products For Parents Who Are Learning How Expensive Having Kids Is
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. There are so many things you need to spend money on for your children (many unexpected), but not all of them have to cost a fortune. 1. A roll of heavy-duty, eco-friendly, machine-washable, reusable bamboo towels because you really have no idea how many paper towels you use cleaning up after the kids, do you? The answer is: too many! Walmart You don't realize how many paper towels you go through in a day until you run out of them (and can't easily restock your supply). Using these bamboo towels (which were recommended by a coworker) changed the way I approached cleaning up household messes. These were great for taking care of the kitchen countertop throughout the day (especially while trying to feed a toddler). I didn't quite make it to the six-month mark on one roll, but that's certainly a goal! Promising review:"These are beyond wonderful. I ordered a roll and have been using the same four sheets for over a month. When they get dirty, I throw them in the washer and dryer. These towels are very absorbent and don't mildew. I just change them daily anyway. I read in the ad that this roll could last a year, and I believe it." — Susan 2. A Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game (a personal favorite of mine) where players take turns calling out the words taco, cat, goat, cheese, and pizza (in that order) until the word matches the card. But watch out for those gorilla, groundhog, and narwhal cards! Walmart Promising review:"My kids and I really like Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! You go around the circle, and each person says an item. If the card matches what you say, everyone tries to slap the deck. The last person to slap the deck must take all the cards. There are also action cards in the deck. This game keeps you on your toes, and there will be laughing!" — Lisa 3. A two-pack of kids' art smocks to save the kids' clothes from all manner of paint and marker stains and, as an added bonus, can also be used for messy little eaters, too. Walmart Promising review:"Easy to put on and get off. Covers the whole arm, so no messy sleeves. Great for toddler finger painting and watercolor! Velcro's in the back to keep securely on." — Teresa 4. A 90-count supply of saline Boogie Wipes because when little noses start to run, it's not a jog; it's a Usain Bolt-like sprint to sticky snot getting anywhere and everywhere. These things are like booger magnets! Walmart Promising review:"These were a huge blessing when my kids got sick!! My little one had a chafed, bloody nose from wiping his nose with tissues. As soon as I pulled these out, it changed everything! His nose cleared up within a day, and there were no more tears!" — JANELLE 5. A six-pack of Munchkin jumbo microwave bottle sterilizer bags so you can thoroughly disinfect bottles or breastfeeding equipment by eliminating 99.9% of the most common bacteria and germs. Just add water and pop it in the microwave for as little as 90 seconds. Walmart Promising review:"I love this sterilizer bag.

You can easily dump out the water without opening the bag and avoid burning your hands immediately by handling the bag using the cool tab. I love the check boxes on the front to remind me how many times I've used each bag. These can be used up to 30 times." — sorrycharlie625 6. An Upzzle strategic stacking puzzle game that's kind of like 3D Tetris. Players roll the dice and attempt to pile their pieces vertically without hanging off the board. Walmart If they like Kanoodle, they're going to love Uppzle! But see more about Kanoodle below. 7. A Kanoodle 3D brain teaser puzzle game where players start with a design from the included puzzle book that is missing pieces. The object is to figure out which colorful connected beads finish flat patterns or stacked pyramids. Walmart Promising review:"We are homeschoolers, and I am always trying to find toys that are more in the educational brain-teaser genre. This was recommended on many sites for top fun and educational games. This is definitely a game you don't get tired of. I love that you can grab it and go. It can be stored in your purse, jacket pocket, or bookbag. I do wish they made one that was a bigger version that was not as compact because I would buy that one to keep for in-home use." — Shelly 8. A hanging car trash bag can because when you have kids, your car might actually be the one place that's even messier than your home! Walmart Promising review:"This little garbage can for the car is awesome! It attaches to the back of the seat without problems and is so useful, the fact that I have kids who travel with me quite a bit makes this travel can very useful in my vehicle!" — Sarah1689 9. A Paint by Sticker "Unicorns and Magic" book which sounds exactly like what it is: fun craft time that's a little sticky but not nearly as messy as breaking out the paints. Walmart Promising review:"When the book arrived, I thought that the stickers and numbers were too small for my 4-year-old granddaughter. It was a little bit of a struggle at first, but now she's just loving them. The book makes number recognition and shape placement artful and fun. You also have to be mindful of the number of pieces you pull." — aka 10. An 80-piece Johnson & Johnson first aid kit for any boo-boos that might happen (and they will). This pack has it all and should probably live in your car and/or your medicine cabinet. Walmart Contains 30 adhesive bandages in assorted sizes, 21 sheer adhesive bandages, hand-cleansing wipes, 10 gauze all-purpose dressings, and one full-sized Neosporin antibiotic ointment. Promising review:"I have three girls, and let's be honest, accidents happen. I think it's important to try to be prepared for them if you can. I got this kit and luckily haven't had to use it, but having it on hand makes me feel prepared." — Yvonne 11. An eight-pack of Sproutlings natural soy and beeswax crayons to draw the day away or color 'til the (purple, maybe?) cows come home. Also available in a "first grasp" size that's 30% bigger than average crayons. John Mihaly / BuzzFeed, Walmart We love these crayons! They're nice and chonky for little hands, and they write/draw/color quite smoothly. Also, they're much more affordable than other natural crayons on the market, so you're kind of getting a deal here. Price: $5.97 12. Or a Crayola HD coloring kit with 30 colored pencils and 20 black and white pages that are shaded, which means kids can take their coloring to the next level and look totally profesh! Walmart 13. A 12-pack of clear furniture corner protectors for keeping kids safe (and away from the emergency room, been there) from the credenza. And when you're done with them, the adhesive won't strip or damage the furniture. Walmart 14. A classic Bop It! game where the objective is to, well, bop it, but also twist it or pull it, depending on what the game commands (at three different volume settings). Walmart 15. A 10-pack of Gerber three-ply cloth diapers that aren't so much meant to be used as diapers but as super absorbent workhorses to deal with puke, leaky breast milk, sweat, or any other spillage that babies, toddlers, and kids can bring. Walmart Promising review:"I use these for burp cloths instead of as diapers. They're incredibly soft and absorbent. Easy to clean (just throw in the washer with other clothes). My daughter also likes to hug and hold them." — Katie 16. A 144-sheet Origami paper kit for nimble little fingers to learn the fine art of paper folding. Just be prepared for the migration of cranes (and other animals) that will soon be landing all over your home. Walmart Promising review:"Hello, parents! Wanna surprise your kids with paper art? This is the perfect thing to engage your children when you want them out of screen time. My kids love this product. So try it, they might love it too." — Marisa Price: $12.99 17. A bottle of Aveeno Kids' hydrating detangling spray with oat extract that makes combing even the curliest of children's hair as easy as scooping ice cream that's been sitting out more than five minutes. Walmart If I didn't have this, I don't know how I'd ever get my daughter to school on time unless we both woke up hours earlier every day. This is truly a time saver, and her hair ends up looking (and smelling) great! Promising review: "My daughter has dry hair with big curls, and the bed head is REAL. It gets to the point that I have to brush her hair out in the bath with conditioner, but to my surprise, I sprayed her hair this morning and brushed right through it! I will purchase this again and again and again!" — EH 18. A two-pack of Munchkin faucet extenders for making already difficult (and messy) tasks like handwashing and teeth brushing easier for the little ones and cleaning up easier for you. Walmart Fits standard and gooseneck faucets; no tools are required Promising review:"These faucet extenders are amazing. First of all, you get two for what I would have paid for one! The silicone stretches easily to fit over a multitude of different faucets. I have one on a gooseneck faucet downstairs and the other on a more traditional sink upstairs. You can pivot the bottom portion around to move the water stream wherever your little one needs it. My toddler feels like a big kid being able to reach the water himself and I feel better knowing he doesn't have to stand on his tiptoes anymore. I received this product in exchange for my honest feedback." — Deena 19. A spray bottle of water-based Folex instant carpet spot remover because if you've got kids and a carpet (that you care about), you best believe it's gonna get stained. Take a look right now; there's probably a new stain waiting for you! Walmart Promising review:"This is what magic is made of! It has removed every stain I can find on any cloth surface! It has restored the carpet to new condition after coffee stains settled in for three weeks! It works wonders. Coffee stains are so simple for this product to remove. I'm so glad I have it!" — Zahra 20. An easy-to-read ear and forehead thermometer that takes the temps (of very squirmy little creatures) with one-button operation. The display can be used at night without the need for a light and keep tabs on the last 20 readings. Walmart Promising review:"I have owned this for a couple of weeks now. Given its flu season and I work in a school, it has been a very handy item to have on me to help keep the children and myself as safe as possible. limiting our exposure as much as possible. So far, so good and very accurate. It has two buttons, one for ear temps and one for forehead temps. It also comes in a very soft carrying case that protects it from scratches. I would recommend this thermometer if you are looking for one." — Kimberly 21. A 107-piece pack of rainbow scratch paper to scratch that creative itch (and occupy the kids' time) while keeping the refrigerator (at least the front of) well stocked with kiddo's latest artistic endeavor. Walmart Promising review:"There are so many sheets and drawing tools. Some cutouts come with ribbons to make hanging ornaments, and cute stencils that you will need to use with toothpicks because they are very small. There are a lot of materials, and it's well worth the purchase. Just be sure and do the scratch art on a table with a durable covering, not because of damage but because of all the black flecks and shavings. They don't sweep up well and stick to hands and pretty much everything. Aside from this, anything made with these sheets looks extra cute and colorful." — Mariface 22. A two-pack of spill-proof, dishwasher-safe Munchkin snack catchers for transporting anything minuscule and munchable while keeping crumbs (somewhat) to a minimum. Walmart Promising review:"These are great for toddlers entering the, 'I wanna do it myself' stage. They allow their hands to get right in there, and most foods stay in well. The lid comes off easily (when wanted) to be washed but stays snug when in little hands. Also, keeps pets out of kids bowls!" — BoyMom4911 23. A 10-pack of Mr. Clean Extra Durable Erasers to deal with nearly any manner of kid-inflicted stain on your walls, tubs, floors, or wherever they can get to. Bonus: these also work great for cleaning dirty sneakers! Walmart Promising review:"SOOOO effective! Between ourselves and our adult children, we have lived in many apartments throughout the years, and Mr. Clean Sponge has been with us consistently. I have used it for over a decade through cleaning out and up walls and furniture. It's so effective that, in one apartment we lived in with matte paint walls, we did not have to touch up paint walls or trim them when we moved out. It was like the sponge was covering up marks and painting for us. Does not leave any marks on all finishes of paint. When I have been cleaning textured walls, the texture rubs the sponge up; the sponge disappears more quickly than with flat walls. I cannot say enough good about Mr. Clean sponge; it's ingenious and a must for anyone moving or cleaning." — Pinkchux Price: $13.24 24. A three-pack of kids' sunglasses so little eyes stay protected, and little hands can't break them with any twisting or bending. Plus, every baby looks cool wearing these! Walmart Promising review:"Wow. These glasses are better than I expected. The material is soft and flexible; it won't hurt your kid's skin. They are very well-made and polarized!! I have to say it's the best deal ever !! My kids love them." — Lan 26. A Lite-Brite set which comes with more templates and pegs and is bigger and brighter than the classic 1980s version. This gift might be the most affordable time machine money can buy for kids and, in all likelihood, adults. Walmart Promising review:"I got the 'Basic Fun Lite Brite Magic Screen Retro Style Toy' for our son because he is an art lover, and he can never have enough 'artsy' things to do around the house after homework is done. This combines pegs with light, and it's easy and fun at the same time: all you need to do after you are done with the art part is to push the button on the tablet to see the different lights show, and you can choose from: steady, random, pulsing and blinking. The pegs are different colors, and they are easy to push in in order to create your art piece, and my son did it in no time; he was skeptical at the beginning of what this really is but ended up enjoying himself!" — ChicagoExpert Price: $14.97 (originally $16.97) 27. An eight-count pack of grape-flavored Dramamine Motion Sickness chewables for kids so you can get through any car trip without stopping, scrambling for a plastic bag, and eventually having to clean up some puke. Amazon Promising review:"My family truly enjoys this product. My kids get motion sickness when driving in the car for long periods. As long as they have Dramamine before our trip, they always do great. They love the flavor of these chewables! The little container they come in is great for travel. Highly recommend!" — Kady Price: $4.57 Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
