We carefully crafted the below selection to help parents find the best toys for their kids. The selection is based on our own experience and recommendations we got from other parents.
Toys for 1-3 years old
Plush toys with music and light for falling asleep
These cute music toys are doing a great job in helping children to sleep. They are soft, have excellent melodies, have build in light and can even breath or move. And all these can be switched on or off depending on your child preferences.
Push along animals
Push along animals are great fun for small children. They can have a great time running around the house with them. These are offering also good exercise for children that recently start walking. We really like some of the push along ducks because they are very funny.
Mini books
Minifanten mini books are really cute and also offer possibility for the children to open additional pictures on each page.
Music duck
Children enjoy this music and dancing duck which is entertaining and very well made.
Musical instruments
Music instruments are nice toy for small kids since they enjoy the sound and like to touch and play with them.
Toys for 3-6 years old
Flippy remote control stunt Car
Flippy stunt car is one of the coolest remote control cars we have seen. It is fast and easy to use. The big soft wheels are serving as bumpers which reduce the chances for damaging the car (and your furniture). It also comes in various colours including a pink one for the girls.
Giant crane
The size of this giant crane is really impressive for a toy. There are several variations on the market and children love it (and dads as well). If you want to impress your kid with a big toy, this is a good choice, but have in mind that it will take some place in the room.
Marble run
Marble run has many versions from different producers and children enjoy playing with it. If you buy it for smaller children, you may need to help them a bit with the constructions. Even in this case, both you and your kids will have fun.
Air pressure rocket launcher
This rocket launcher is a simple toy but the children have a lot of fun with it.
Swimming doll
This swimming doll for children is a great toy for the bath or swimming pool. It is available as a swimming girl and a swimming boy.
Toys for 6-99 years old
Dobble
Dobble. In this game players have to find symbols in common between two cards. The game is also known as Spot It! in the US.
This game is suitable for ages 6 and above and can be played from 2 to 8 players. There are several ways of playing the game and you can start playing immediately since the rules are very simple. What we like in this game, apart that it is really fun playing it, is that children and adults can play together having equal chances to win.
Actually, from our experience, children often play better than the adults and have greater chances to win 😊
Mini RC car in a can
This mini remote control car in a can is on of the best RC cars we have seen. It is small but fast and at the same time very easy to use. It is really fun to play with it, especially if you have two of them racing with each other.
In case you decide to buy 2 pieces, make sure that you buy different frequencies – they are available in 27 MHz or 40 MHz. You can find many variations of these cars and nowadays they are available in almost every toy shop. Recently we found even mini RC boat in a can but we didn’t try it yet.
Ticket to Ride
Ticket to Ride is an excellent game that can entertain you for hours. In addition to that, you may learn something new about the geography, since players are building train routes across a map. Game is for 2 to 5 players and there are different versions depicting maps of various countries.
The game is also known as Zug um Zug (German), Les Aventuriers du Rail (French), Aventureros al Tren (Spanish). We really liked the Ticket to ride Europe version and can definitely recommend it to you.
Jungle Speed
If you like to have some action while playing card games, we would recommend you to try the Jungle Speed game. It is great game that is easy to learn. One of its big advantages is that you can play it also with a bigger group of people.
This game is excellent choice when you have many people that would like to play together. Before you start playing, be sure to ask the people to be careful and gentle when trying to catch the totem 😊
Kubb
Kubb is one of our favorite outdoor games. It is easy to play and you can play it on any outside terrain as soon as it provides enough space. If you ignore the official tournament rules, you can play it with as many players as you want, split in 2 teams 😊
