Gift Ideas from a Toys 'R Us Associate
Stuck on what to get the child in your family? Here is a list of the most popular and kid-approved gift ideas.2-5 Year Olds
What toy does every preschooler hope to get this year? T.M.X. Elmo of course! But good luck with that one. Most stores have been sold out since the day they were released. Another gift that is just as sought after, but more achievable is the Kid Tough Digital Camera by Fisher-Price ($69.99). Easy handling and extreme durability make this a great present for young ones. Complete with an LCD screen and USB connection for trouble-free download, your child will love being able to take photos of their very own.
If you are looking to spend less, creative toys are a great option. Play-Doh is always a hit and most sets are $5-$20. Kids can play for hours with endless options of what to make. A new similar item is Moon Sand. For less than $20 you get a great sand castle kit that includes an inflatable mat and carry case. It never dries out, won’t stain, and is very easy to clean up.
Looking for a more educational toy? The Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set ($19.99) by LeapFrog is great for teaching the alphabet. The magic reader attaches to the fridge and kids place the letters into it. The reader states what the letter is and says the sound it makes. LeapFrog also makes the Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set ($17.99) where children mix and match different creatures, listen to songs, and learn fun animal facts.
Boys 4-10
Know what toy costs more than its weight in gold? Legos! They never go out of style and help with imagination. Plus there are enough different themes including Star Wars, Spongebob, Harry Potter, Batman, and Thomas & Friends, that you can find something of interest for everyone. Depending on size of set, price is usually $10-$60.
If you haven’t heard or witnessed the drawing power of Disney Pixar’s Cars, then you must live under a rock. Kids especially love the Fast Talkin’ Lightning McQueen ($39.99). Not only does he do tricks and stunts, but he moves his eyes and talks while he does it! He’s a gift sure to provide amusement for both kids and parents.
