Kid's Holiday Gift Guide - 2019

Before having kids, I SWORE I wouldn't be that mom with a million toys cluttering every square inch of the home. Fast forward a few years and I'm amazed at how HARD it is to keep toys from building up in the house! I have to routinely go through their toys- throw away small parts that are never used, donate things I know they don't really play with or hide away certain things to bring them back and give them new life a few months later. I try my hardest to go for quality over quantity and not get toys that have a trillion parts, but even so they just tend to build up. I'm working now to get rid of as many as possible to get ready for the holidays!

There are certain toys we've had that have been absolute staples over the past few years and I wanted to share the boy's favorites with you! We've loved everything on this list and I would buy them all again in a heartbeat!

KidKraft Garden View EZ Kraft Assembly Outdoor Playhouse

Absolute most used and loved item in our home. I did a makeover of ours and love how it turned out. The 'EZ Assembly' part of this particular home is AMAZING. So simple and fast to build compared to most any other one out there!

6ft Kids Cotton Canvas Play Tent

This has been set up in our playroom for over 2 years and is a place they go to hide, read, lay down, and jam all the toys they can fit!

SmarTrike T1 Scooter

I was amazed how early on Jett picked up how to use this scooter (15 months). It comes with a seat but both boys prefer the scooter. I drove to 3 different stores to find the last one when I was searching my city to buy another for my other son!

KidKraft Vintage Play Kitchen, White KidKraft Kitchen

We got this kitchen when Jax was about 9 months old. He could pull up on it so we bolted it to the wall in our kitchen and they have a space to play while we hangout!

Little Tikes Cozy Truck Ride-On with removable floorboard

This has been a huge hit since day 1 in our home- there's a reason it's a classic!

MAD MATTR Quantum Tool Box

This stuff is SO MUCH BETTER than kinetic sand/rocks in my opinion! It doesn't dry out like the others and is way easier to clean. It holds a shape better and this tool box is perfect for keeping everything in one place!

ADD TO FAVORITES LeapFrog LeapStart 3D Interactive Learning System

The boys both love this thing and Jett learned how to use it early on! I love that's it's still screen free, educational and there are so many books to choose from depending on their age/interests!

Dyson Ball Vacuum with real suction and sounds

This thing actually sucks and has buttons that make it sound like a real vacuum. Huge hit in our home!

Big Country Toys Lil Bucker Mutton Buster

These come in all different animals and are fun indoors + outdoors!

Pack of 2 Cartoon R/C Police Car and Race Car Radio Control Toys for Kids

This comes with a pack of two so the kids can race!

12V Electric Police Ride-On SUV with RC, Lights/Sounds

This is only supposed to be for 1 rider but my two boys (23 and 43 lbs) both squeeze their butts in to ride! It comes with a remote so the parent can take over too!

Ontel Magic Tracks RC

We have 4 sets of these, so much fun and they glow in the dark!

ThinkFun Zingo Bingo

It's like Bingo for kids, Jax has played this at least 1,000 and I actually enjoy playing with him!

Little Tikes Gas N Go Mower

We've gone through a few mowers and this is our favorite. Simple and they love to 'mow' along with our yard guys!

ADD TO FAVORITES Intex Rainbow Ring Inflatable Play Center

I originally bought this as a ball pit when Jax was maybe 8 months old. He LOVED it and we never took it outside!

Click N' Play Value Pack of 400 Phthalate Free BPA Free Crush Proof Plastic Balls

This was the best price I could find on these balls that are great quality! 400 may sound like a lot but we bought 2 sets because once they're in there it doesn't seem like much!

Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Water Table

This may be a summer toy but we use it year 'round here in Texas! We've been through maybe 5 water tables and this has been their favorite (and the one that's lasted!)

Hape Fresh Fruit Wooden Kitchen Play Food Set

Great quality set of pretend food. They can use the knife to "cut" each piece which is held together by velcro!

STOCKING STUFFERS!

Face Paint Crayons

These are so fun and wipe off easily with a wet wipe!

Crayola Color Bath Dropz

We stay well-stocked with them, the boys love them!

Play-Doh Modeling Compound 10-Pack Case of Colors

You can never have enough play doh! Get a pack of these and divide between stockings!

Kinder Joy Cocoa Sweet Cream Wafer Bites, 6 Ct.

They love the chocolate and love the little surprise toy that comes inside!
