Diving into a pile of exciting gifts and unwrapping the toy of the year is what childhood memories are made of. This year, making some holiday magic for the littlest ones on your shoppers’ gift lists is easy with our lineup of children’s titles that tie into the year’s biggest toy trends!
To spot what’s topping wish lists, we looked to holiday toy guides from The Toy Insider and Today. Their lists feature familiar faces that never go out of style like LEGO, Barbie, and Spider-Man. But this year they’re joined by newer shows, characters, and creators kids adore that have made a splash at the box office and on streaming like Ms. Rachel, Bluey, Gabby’s Dollhouse, and Stitch.
Parents are reaching for engaging, hands-on gifts that inspire creativity in their child. Crafty gifts like slime kits, finger paints, and loom animals emerge as big hits this year, offering a welcome break from tech and screen time. Retro throwbacks like Furby and Tamagotchi make the list as well, appealing to nostalgic parents who remember these toys from their own childhoods in a time before tablets and smart phones took over.
Our curated collection features books that pair perfectly with this year’s must-have toys! Whether you’re refreshing a toy display or stocking your children’s section, these titles are sure to add a little extra magic to your holiday lineup.
