I featured my holiday gift guide for all the kids and parents on your list as well as family friendly gift ideas and today I’m back with some suggestions for the best holiday toys for kids of all ages!

BABIES:

How cute is Airplane Rattle by Estella? I love that its hand-crafted in Peru by local artists.

The Cheerios Play Book will keep babies entertained as they place Cheerios in patterns and other designs.

The Global Glowball from B. toys is a great musical nightlight for babies that can be used as an interactive musical globe as the child grows.

The states collection from Little Sapling Toys features handcrafted teethers shaped like different states.

LITTLE KIDS:

Get their creative juices flowing with a Creativity Can loaded with art supplies like pipe cleaners, googly eyes, tissue paper, etc. Choose from the Big Creativity Can or six smaller cans with themes like Build, Motion, Music and more.

Let their imaginations run wild with Magna-Tiles.  These are on the pricey side but little kids will love playing with these for years to come. My daughter is a big fan and I love that they are super easy to clean up and store.

Pop up playtents are always fun but with this VW Camper Van Tent, little ones can pretend they’re on the road. So cute!

Here in NYC, every little kid I know rides a scooter and I think the Micro Kickboard Mini Micro 3 in 1 is a great holiday gift for little kids (ages 1-5)

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS:

I recently reviewed LeapTV and its a great toy that combines interactive learning with video games. Win-win!

Card games are always fun (and great to bring along on holiday trips and family visits) and my favorites are from eeBoo. The eeBoo Crazy Faces Card Game is a great pick for kids and adults (think Crazy 8 matching the silly faces on the cards). I like their Color Go Fish too which teaches younger kids colors like chartreuse and turquoise.

Bananagrams is a fun game the whole family can enjoy. Young children will have a lot of fun learning new words and practicing their spelling. I love how the pieces zip up in the banana case making it a great game for travel.

Legos were one of my favorite toys and I love to see my daughter’s reaction when we visit the new Lego Flatiron store. Until you have the room and supplies to build a life size Statue of Liberty, start small with the Lego Juniors (great for kids 4-7), colorful Lego Friends sets and traditional Lego sets.
