Just in Time for Christmas: 15+ Toys Your Child Will Actually Play With for More Than a Day

Magnetic toys are some of the most versatile toys you can find and they are loved by a wide range of children. We get this brand since it's more affordable than other magnetic toys but the quality is just as good, or even better.

My kids love these so much that it is one of my go to birthday gifts for our kids' friends.

There's something about tiny portable toys that is very appealing for kids. We love Polly Pockets because they're such an easy toy to take with us when we go out or during road trips.

This is my kid's favorite once since it can be carried as a purse and it makes it easier to take places.

I love education and STEAM toys but out of all the ones we've tried, this has been the winner by far! Your child can learn all about electronics with this toy. Plus the instructions are made very well which has made it easy for my children to do this without the help of an adult.

This specific set is for children ages 5 and up, so I recommend starting this set. And if your child loves it you can move onto a bigger set, like the one mentioned next.

This is one of those toys that your child might get obssesed with. My kids did! It's one of the best toys I've found to learn about electronics and one that is so well made, children can follow the instructions on their own.

If you ask me, this is a must-have in every home!

This is a screen-free story teller and speaker that can be thrown around without you having to worry about your children breaking it. It seems like European toys are always the best and this is no exception.

What we love about this toy is that you can hear stories in it and listen to music. But, the coolest feature the Creative Tonies: family members can record themselves (from the comfort of their home) reading a story or simply saying I love you and your children will be able to hear it in their Toniebox. With corona keeping families apart, this is such a special toy that makes family feel closer.

This is super easy to use, even for small children and the sound quality is pretty good!

Lunii is similar to the product above but has a lot less functions. Lunni is a screen-free storyteller box, this means that all it does is tell your childs stories.

It has a wide range of stories because your child creates the story: they pick the type of character, the place the story takes place and different objects used in the story and once they're done choosing, the story starts playing.

You can download multiple stories in different languages so it's a great way to practice a foreign language.

I recommend getting headphones with this toy, especially if you plan to use it on road trips.

If your child likes more hand-on activities, they're going to love this. Your child can make jewelry with these rubber bands: bracelets, necklaces and even keychains.

Our kids love this set because it comes with a wide range of colors and I love it because it keeps them entertained for quite a while.

Although this says it's for children 8-10, my children ages 5 and 7 play with this.

You can never go wrong with LEGOS but what I love about this set is that it gives your children an opportunity to use their imagination and get creative.

This bouncy house is the best outdoor toy we've gotten and one that comes out every summer! It is the most expensive toy on this list, but it's cheaper than renting a bouncy house and you will end up using it many times.

We keep it set up during the whole year because my children will jump even in the cold months!

And if you want to make your yard even more fun, this is the only swing you will need! I have never seen my kids nor their friends play as much with a toy as with this swing. The best part is that it fits multiple people so even you can swing with your kids!

I'm not sure what is it about this swing that children seem to SO drawn to it but it is definitively worth it!

This is a great toy for mess-free coloring or doodling. I've ended up ordering these for my kids after a friend kept telling me about it and she was right - they love it! It's also a great toy to keep in the car!

This is one of those toys that keep them busy and engaged! You can make all sorts of shapes by putting these geometrical figures together.

I love that kids get really creative with this toy!

This is one of those toys that will entertain the whole family! This wireless microphone can connect via bluetooth so your kids can sing along their favorite songs.

The only downside is that they might not stop singing. Haha!

One thing my kids have loved at different stages in their lives has been the ability to takes pictures. Having a camera is so much fun!

And I personally have enjoyed seeing what captures their attention.

This is a perfect toy for winter because you can play it indoors! It's a game the kids can play on their own or with you. The best part is how much fun they have playing this!

This one is technically not a toy but it's been such a great night like for us and one that multiple of our friends have gotten after seeing it in our home. It gives a nice soft glow and has a remote so it's easy to turn on and off. One really cool feature is that you can change the color of the light with the remote.

This is the same as the above but in dinosaur shape. 🙂
