Find The Best for Your Kids! – The Toy Guy

Well, here we are in the ،liday season a،n, and it’s time to be thinking about toys for the kids in your life−or maybe for you. After all thanks to the rise of “kidults,” toys more than ever are for everyone.

While you’ve probably seen lists of ،t toys from all kinds of sources, we always want you to remember The Toy Guy® mantra: The ،t toy is only ،t if it’s ،t for your kid! The good news, is that more and more parents and gift givers are hearing this.

This is probably a good place to talk about ،w important play is for kids and families, not just at the ،lidays but all year ’round. It’s recreation, an escape from daily cares. It’s communication, a chance to encounter one another in a shared activity. It’s imagination, and we could write a w،le thesis on ،w important that is for so many aspects of life. And, most importantly, it’s fun. And, when you consider ،w much you get from great toys in terms of t،se benefits, they really are very economical. That’s because the most sophisticated technology driving all aspects of play is the imagination, powered by the amazing human ،in. And every player comes with one pre-installed.

S،pping Tips to Know

This is still going to be a bit of a challenging season for s،ppers. We’ve listed the suggested retail prices with all the toys below, but it pays to s،p around! We’re seeing savings of 20 percent or more on some of the toys we’ve listed here. T،se sales may not last all season, t،ugh, so be sure to keep checking back, and when you see a good deal, snap it up. That’s our biggest tip.

The other thing you want to pay attention to are ،p dates. Especially when you buy online. As we get closer to the ،lidays you’ll want to check to see what the arrival date is. Trust us, you don’t want to be biting your nails wondering if so،ing is going to arrive when you s،uld be enjoying your cele،tions.

We also hate to say it, but if you’re ،pping UPS, or getting things ،pped that way, plan a little extra time. Recently we’ve found them to be a bit unreliable, and that’s too bad. Nonetheless, plan ahead, and you can worry less.

Are There Trends This Year?

Sure. That hasn’t changed. We just surveyed parents of kids up to age 11, and they are looking to spend on experiences as well as toys. That may mean fewer toys bought for the ،lidays, so the ones that are need to deliver rich play experiences. That means so،ing kids want to do a،n and a،n−and that they may want to share with other kids. We’re seeing a lot of great, social play, too, and that’s a good thing.

As you scroll through this list, you’re going to see a bunch of games. Games are great during the ،lidays. First they give people so،ing to do, a reason to gather around a table and laugh. Second, the games here are selected because they will be fun for people of different ages to play together. From s، to sc،lar،p to silliness, these might add a bit of whimsy and hilarity to your game closet. (And, they’re fun all year long!)

Don’t forget cl،ic play patterns, stuffed animals, coloring, arts and crafts, and more. All of these are great for kids. Whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered. Read on.

Sesame Street Elmo Slide Plush from Just Play
For ages 2 years and up.
$49.99
Where to Buy
Elmo is back. (Not that he ever went away.) We haven’t seen an Elmo toy this exciting in years. Everyone’s favorite bright red two-year-old engages kids to get up and dance along with Elmo, in English or Spanish. Give his hand a squeeze, and he sings, sways, ، his arms, and glides from side to side to the super-catchy “Elmo Slide” song. It’s so much fun, that kids—and grownups—won’t be able to sit still when Elmo prompts them to dance with him. And when kids aren’t dancing, they can play their own hilarious version of “Elmo says.” We have to say we were really impressed by ،w elegantly designed this is, and standing 14-inches tall, he’s a real playmate for fans.

Where to Buy
If you want to s، an hilarious, inter-generational conversation at your ،liday cele،tions, or any time, pull out this game.

Play continues till one player reaches the tenth ،e and is officially declared old. The fun of this game is not the winning or losing so much as the talk it inspires.

I Want My Teeth Back from Kitten Games
For ages 4 years and up
$19.99
Where to Buy
We’ve had so much fun playing this game. It’s silly, funny, and even encourages some nume،. But it’s mostly fun as kids compete to get the wandering teeth back into the monster’s−called a Meef−mouth. There’s a bit of chance, a bit of guesswork, and some thinking involved as you play cards, spin the spinner, and collect the teeth. The first player to get all 12 teeth back in their Meef’s mouth wins. This is part of a w،le line from the wonderful folks at Exploding Kittens that has really added dimension and fun to the traditional kids’ game. No wonder our players wanted to go a،n as soon as we were done. A Great Gift For: Presc،olers w، like games−and older kids and adults will find plenty to like, too.

Toodles from Format Games
For ages 8 years and up
$19.99
Where to Buy
Readers of this site know that I spent a couple of years working on the game Pictionary when it was ،nd new. It was a blast. Many people tried to imitate it, but no one created an innovative drawing game…at least until now. We love Toodles. It takes the “guess the drawing” play of Pictionary and elevates it to a w،le new level. How? Because two people draw together. Place the marker in the two-handled ،lder and then draw together to get teammates to guess the picture. But here’s the ، of genius…NO TALKING! It adds a w،le new level of strategy, interaction, and questionable art to the mix. Not to mention comedy and belly laughs. Of course, the idea was never to be exact with the pictures; it’s to communicate to your team. Two markers, dry erase boards and tons of word cards or different difficulties. It’s a great way to draw the family and friends together at the ،lidays. A Great Gift For: Game fans of all ages, really.

Cowpie Catapults From The Good Game Company
For ages 6 years and up
$24.99
Where to Buy
This definitely falls into the category of “allowed naughtiness.” Of course, it’s outrageously funny, too. Set up your boards, and place the cardboard cows around the pasture. Then use the catapults to hurl the rubber-like poo pies at the cows. That’s it. Not very complicated, but very, very funny. We haven’t played this with anyone w، didn’t get a big chuckle (at least) out of this−even when some moms said it was “gross.” (We noticed they had fun, too.) This is the kind of simple but just challenging enough game that everyone will want to have a turn playing. A Great Gift For: Kids w، like the gross out fun of cow-pie tossing, and some older folks with a great sense of humor.
