Hey there, shoppers! As we get closer to the holidays, many gifts may not arrive by 12/24. Delivery times depend on the retailer, item, location, and how much you're willing to spend on expedited shipping.

1. A battery-free race track that challenges them to reach the finish line without overstimulating noises, keeping your peace intact. This versatile toy can teach cause and effect and problem-solving, but the real highlight for your child will surely be the helicopter that can actually lift the cars. Anything that lets you enjoy your coffee, right?

2. A safe, nontoxic Hape wooden toolbox and accessory play set for your aspiring little builder. My kids have a toolbox, and I can’t get enough of seeing them grab their tools and ‘fix’ things. Go ahead, my confident toddler — you’ve got this! 😉

3. A flower-building activity set that lets them design their very own garden. With countless combinations, this toy is truly ~flowering~ with endless potential.

4. A set of tempera paint sticks if you’re tired of cleaning up a dozen different-sized brushes after craft time. They also feature a pencil grip, which helps keep a steady hand and ensures the paint stays on the project.

5. A garden-themed shape sorter where they can pull veggies, sort fruit shapes, or use a magnetic rabbit to retrieve some pesky worms. Sure, it's great for education and motor skills, but really, it's never too early to pass down your plant obsession.

7. A wooden cleaning play set that lets them feel like the little grown-ups they are. Cleaning sets for toddlers are curiously popular. Don’t ask too many questions—just let them have fun being the tiny custodians, cleaning up all the messes in their world.

8. A Melissa & Doug ice cream station with play money to help your little entrepreneur practice their skills. Toddlers and young kids are irresistibly drawn to ice cream toys. There's just something magical about those frozen treats that captivate them all — and it's so enjoyable. This set includes stackable ice cream cones and toppings, a scoop, and even a wooden spoon for handing out free samples. The creations are delightful, and your toddler will have a blast charging you for the biggest ice cream treat you've ever seen.

9. A wooden train set because it's a classic toy that never goes out of style. Whether or not your child is obsessed with trains, assembling the tracks and city scene, then sending the train on its way, is an enjoyable activity for all ages.

10. A set of Mega Blocks, the ideal ~building blocks~ for introducing the concept of construction. These large blocks are safe from choking hazards, even for teething little ones, but still offer ample opportunities to develop building skills.

11. A pair of GeoSafari Jr. binoculars designed to elevate your little explorer's adventures. These child-friendly binoculars are sturdy, simple to operate, and sure to bring joy to kids of all ages. There's a unique thrill that comes with binoculars for kids, and who knows, they might get just as excited as you to spot hummingbirds at the feeder.

12. A dinosaur-themed Cozy Coupe, offering a *rawrsome* twist on the classic childhood favorite. These toys are built to last for years and provide endless fun. Now that my kids are older, one drives while the other holds on A-Team style on top. Play... finds a way.

13. A kid-sized trampoline with a handlebar for added stability. Can you imagine it? Your energetic toddler eagerly approaches the trampoline, jumps, and keeps jumping, over and over. You — stay with me — just relax. Let that peaceful moment sink in before you hit "add to cart."

14. A delightful "Bouncy Pals" unicorn hopping toy that'll have them bouncing around the room, burning off excess energy. This simple yet ridiculously fun toy will have your child trying to bounce high enough to make it look like they’re using those little wings.

15. A car wash and service station that’s designed to fuel imaginative play while being durable enough to survive whatever a young child might — quite literally — throw its way.

16. An LCD writing tablet and doodle pad that keeps your child entertained without the hassle of managing 47 crayons, 12 markers, and stacks of wasted paper. It's also compact enough to be an excellent travel-friendly toy.

17. A magnetic bead board that allows kids to create pictures without the mess, all while developing their fine motor skills. Using the magnetized pointer, they can place the magnets in position. Younger toddlers will love the fun of seeing the magnets pop up, while older ones can experiment with crafting their own images.

18. A collection of fidget spinners that will keep your little ones entertained while on the move, during potty training, or any other moment when they need a distraction. These spinners have various functions, making them much more captivating than typical ones.

19. A light-up, squirting whale bath toy that takes bath time to the next level. There's nothing quite like the giggles of babies enjoying squirting toys, and this one is a winner. Reviewers are thrilled by how much their little ones adore it! Be prepared for an overload of cuteness.

26. Introduce a small balance bike—because it's never too early for little ones to start learning bike skills. This bike serves as a scooting toy for toddlers and a zipping toy for the more adventurous older kids. Whatever helps them burn off that boundless energy, right?
27. This Bluey-themed water drawing pad is *magically* colored with just water. Even the most enthusiastic young artists can color inside the lines with only water, and once it dries, they can start all over again. Low mess, high reward: the perfect combination.
