Promising review: "We gave this toy to my daughter for her 7th birthday. I didn’t know much about it, but she asked for it, and it was reasonably priced. She was so thrilled when she unwrapped it. Watching the 'how-to' video was the easiest way to figure out how to play with it. It reminds me of the old Giga Pets, lol. It's such a compact travel toy. We’re always in the car for sports and activities, so it’s perfect since her older sisters have phones, leaving my little one with something fun to do. I hope the novelty lasts. She's been playing with it for hours, so I think it’s worth it. Even my 12-year-old now wants one!" —Mamallama

We also have a drill from another toy by the same brand that works, so she uses both the drill and a screwdriver. I’m thinking of buying another one so there’s one for her friends and cousins to play with too." —Chelsea

20. The Kanoodle Ultimate Champion game, an updated version of the classic puzzle game now featuring 500 2D and 3D puzzles *and* a timer. A great screen-free option to keep kids entertained, especially while waiting at the doctor’s office.
Our family can’t get enough of this game, and it’s been a favorite ever since we first tried it. In this 2D and 3D brain teaser, the goal is to solve puzzles with all 12 Kanoodle pieces. The set includes 12 pieces, 200 puzzles, a 48-page illustrated puzzle book, and a convenient carrying case.

23. A Rubik's Cube Spider-Man Cuber, a fresh spin on a classic puzzle. Once the cube is solved, it transforms into the head that attaches to a body, creating a cool display piece. It’s both a mind-bender and a collectible—plus, it’s Spider-Man!
When my son recently got into the world of Rubik's Cubes, and I found myself deep in a YouTube rabbit hole trying to figure out how to solve one, this Webslinger Cube came to us at just the right time. It’s a fun time-passer and doubles as a fidget toy (at least, that's how it works for me). It's a great modern twist on a classic game.
Price: $14.99
24.A budget-friendly Sky Viper Nova Light Show Drone that dazzles the night with over 25 light patterns and performs cool one-touch tricks like flips and barrel rolls. It also comes with a spare set of four replacement propellers in case of any mishaps.
Promising review: "A great option for beginners because it includes prop guards, though it’s recommended to fly outside. The RGB lights look amazing at night, and it’s a first for me on a drone. The altitude hold feature is great for beginners, making it easier to maintain a consistent height. The battery life is fantastic compared to previous Sky Viper models. I recommend it, but if you’re a beginner, definitely use the prop guards to avoid a costly crash." —FlyingLife
Price: $49.99
25. A party game called "Let's Hit Each Other With Fake Swords", proudly claiming to be the "world’s first sword-fighting card game!" (We were sold at sword fight!). Players race to collect matching cards while settling disagreements through epic foam sword duels.
Having played this at home, it was no surprise that my kids loved the Nerf-like sword action. I did, too! Sometimes, you need a game that lets the kids burn off some energy. Great for ages 10+, with 2-6 players, each game lasts around fifteen minutes—just the right amount of time for busy parents working from home. If you have kids into knights, pirates, ninjas, Conan, or anyone wielding a sword, this is definitely one to check out.
Price: $24.99
