the “big” gift

These are toys we love and have tested for YEARS. I also believe these toys will be a hit with almost any kid.

1. LITTLE TIKES BOUNCE HOUSE
   As long as you have a space to play + space to store this one when it’s not in use this is one of the best investments. My parent in laws have had theirs going on 15 years now, and that’s all the review you really need.

2. CLOUD CASTLE COUCH
   If you’ve been looking for a play couch or you have one but would like another for larger builds, this one from Walmart is perfect. The variety of shape pieces has been fun to build with (especially the arch!).

3. HOTWHEELS TRACK
   My oldest had no interest in cars so we are very light on car toys over here. However my youngest loves playing the so much. I’ve been on the search for a track for her that has a small enough footprint it can fit in a closet - and has a lot of interactive components. This is one that fits that criteria.

4. GYMNASTICS BAR
   This is not the exact one we have (ours has feet that stick out and I have stubbed my toe painfully a dozen times). But when you’re stuck inside in the middle of winter you’ll be glad you have this one. Important - we keep a play couch under ours when it’s out for play! Play on this one should be monitored.

5. BARBIE DREAMHOUSE
   I’ve been wanting one since I was a kid so honestly was a dream come true to get one for the girls. So much play has happened on here over the last year.

6. HEARTH AND HAND TACO TRUCK
   This is a hear me out. We don’t have this one, I havent been able to convince myself we need it more than the market stand we already have. But listen, you could turn this into ANY theme. Cupcake truck, coffee truck, pizza truck.
