Holiday Gift Guide for Kids 2020

Shopping for kids is always a gamble. They change their minds on the daily. Show them a catalog and they will circle some items, show them another and they will circle completely different items. Trying to shop ahead is also impossible because the toy trends don’t come up until literally just before Christmas. The biggest trend right now that I am seeing is the Nintendo Switch Mario bundle, the Lego Super Mario set and the PS5 but good luck with that one. Here are a mix of big ticket and educational toys for kids 5-8 years old.

Links:

  1. Amazon Fire Tablet, Amazon
  2. Super Mario Lego Set, Toys R Us
  3. Smart Globe, Mastermind
  4. Marble Run, Toys R Us
  5. Train Table, Toys R Us
  6. OSMO Little Genius Starter Kit, Mastermind
  7. LOL Surprise, Toys R Us
  8. Crazy Forts, Mastermind

I also found a few great items that are smaller or more economical.

  1. The Floor is Lava Game, Mastermind
  2. My Little Pony, Toys R Us
  3. Baby Yoda, Mastermind
  4. Transformer, Toys R Us
  5. VTech Camera, Chapters Indigo
  6. Grimms Rainbow, Well.ca
  7. Walkie Talkies, Mastermind
  8. Plus Plus Go Crazy, Well.ca

These are some examples of toys that can be gifted to kids but of course I would encourage other items like books, puzzles, crafts and other activities that would educate and entertain kids. Hope this list helps!

Only a few short weeks left until Christmas! I would say if you are shopping online then you should have most of your items purchased this week to ensure that it arrives before Christmas.
