Whether the most inquisitive in your crew plays with every random item in the house or just asks questions about absolutely everything, they’ll certainly end up on your nice list when the holidays come a-knockin’. Let’s face it, nobody can resist a growing mind in a wee tiny body.
Since you likely have shopping to do for lots of curious tots, siblings, and cousins, we’ve rounded up picks from Walmart’s Top Toys List(opens in a new tab) sure to stimulate both their minds and imaginations. They’ll all be smarter than you are before you know it, but for now, these toys will gear them up for discovery.
In the driver’s seat
This rechargeable bumper car lets your toddler zip around the house, do 360-degree “cookies,” and bump into things to their little heart’s desire. They can just climb in and start steering with the easy joystick setup. Don’t worry, the car only goes 1 mile per hour and the soft rubber bumpers will protect your walls — and shins.
Bye-bye boo boos
When JJ’s head, elbow, knee, or foot lights up and he cries out — it’s your toddler’s cue to make him feel better. They can place cute CoComelon-themed bandages on this cuddly doll and they’ll feel so happy when JJ tells them that his ouchie is all gone. Your kiddo can also sing along to “The Boo Boo Song” when they press JJ’s belly.
All aboard
Your lil’ one will love driving around the CoComelon crew on this interactive rideable bus. It has a horn that honks, a bus door that opens, a stop sign that pulls out, and 36 buttons that sing the alphabet and your kiddo’s favorite CoComelon nursery rhymes. Bonus points for the handle on the back, which is great for early walkers.
Baby’s best friend
Scout has tons to teach your little one and there’s hardly a spot on him that isn’t interactive. His paws play music and learning games when touched, his ears play lullabies for naptime, and you can even program him to say your child’s name and prompt your lil’ one to start saying it themselves.
Fierce lil’ rider
This Jurassic World-themed quad is a sweet ride for little dinosaur fans and it moves at the parent-approved speed of 2 miles per hour. Push-button acceleration keeps them in charge of their speed and they can even pull a lever to make the dino’s jaws chomp and roar.
All-star lineup
Whether your little athlete wants to shoot hoops, score soccer goals, or putt golf balls, this indoor/outdoor sports set covers all the bases. It’s sturdy and tough, and the b-ball hoop height is adjustable, so they can grow into their game and master their dunks.
Break out the dino
Kick off their future LEGO obsession with this simple 36-piece set, specially sized for toddler’s tiny fingers. The Jurassic World theme is always a hit, obviously, and your dino fan will have a blast busting T-rex out of the gate and riding baby triceratops to safety on the back of the LEGO motorcycle.
A big skill-builder
Put your tot’s hand-eye coordination to work with these 24 colorful and large-sized interlocking bricks. Your toddler can flip over the bucket and use it as a sturdy base to stack all of their genius creations. The bright yellow lid also doubles as a hard hat that they’ll insist on wearing absolutely everywhere.
