Every year at Christmas time I get the urge to go through the kids’ playroom and get rid of some of the toys they never touch. There are more toys than the four of them could ever reasonably play with. While I’m thankful that we were able to buy them things, and they received cool toys from friends and family for birthdays, sometimes the sheer amount of toys in overwhelming. I like everything to have a place, so even though I hate getting rid of things they might play with one day, donating or reselling things at the holidays is a great way to feel okay about adding some new toys.
When I was looking through toys this year, I thought about the toys that get tons of use in our house and make great gifts for kids. I thought I’d share which toys, at least for our kids, are favorites and have been awesome over the years. We do have all boys, but most of these toys are great for any kid. Hope this helps if you are looking for some great toys to gift the kiddos in your life this year!
I’ll be sure to add to this list as I think of more, but that’s a good start. I hope your kiddos will find the same amount of fun that our boys did with these toys.
