6 Kid Tested Toy Ideas For The Holidays

Christmas can be overwhelming with all the gifts to choose from so my girls and I decided to team up with Babbleboxx to show you a few of our favorite gift ideas for this Holiday season. Let’s just say they were more than willing to help me review these fun finds for you guys!

1. Play On! – I LOVE anything that gets my kids up, moving and engaged WITHOUT a screen. Play On! has the cutest subscription series for kids (or you can get individual kits) and it an audio-musical adventure with a storytelling kit. You can get them for different age ranges (“Discover” 3-5, “Adventure” 5-10 or “Holiday” for the whole family). We got the Adventure kit and all I had to do was download the sound track and Ayla was off on her Ice Cream Factory Fiasco adventure. She had a great time and you can use the code ADVENTURE10 for 10% off any Play On! orders.

2. Baby Alive Tinycorns- I feel like Baby Alive just got everything about this doll right. My girls LOVE taking care of babies but a unicorn baby just knocks it out of the park. The little Unicorn hoodie is just the cutest little accessory and she really “pees” in her diaper after you give her a drink with her sparkly bottle. Ayla loves to change her diaper and pretend that she is her magical unicorn daughter (they obviously live in an enchanted forest together where she is the mother unicorn lol). You can find the dolls with blonde, black or brunette hair colors so they can match your little one.

3. Beloved Bath- This company is phenomenal and I hope after reading about them you will all go out and support them! Beloved bath is the cutest candle, soap and bath product company that was founded by moms who wanted to create a joyous and purposeful work environment for their sons and others who have autism. My girls LOVE these adorable soaps and I love supporting their mission of creating meaningful employment for people with autism. Use the code “babbleboxx” at checkout for 15% off your entire order until Dec 20th(one per customer).

4. Let’s Talk Conversation Starters- Being a therapist means my girls are going to be inundated with toys like these amazing conversation starters. Even I get stuck sometimes with what to ask and these are so helpful to get kids talking. They ask questions like “do you think rules were meant to be broken?” or “Who inspires you?”. They also have Grab-n-Go Conversation Cards in “Let’s joke”, “Let’s Think” and “Let’s talk”. These cards make great stocking stuffers to get you laughing, thinking and talking together as a family. The brand has even won awards for their bonding activities for families. You can use code MERRY for a free Unicorn plush with orders over $40.

5. Will You Be My Friend- We are huge Guess How Much I Love you fans over here so when I saw this new book with our sweet Little Nutbrown Hare in it I was so excited! The book is all about Little Nutbrown Hare making a friend and it’s such an adorable story. My girls love reading so this was the perfect Christmas gift!

6. Silly Skaters Unicorn Inflatable Ride-On by Kid Trax- I just wish you all could have seen the look on Cosette’s face when she first saw her Ride-On Unicorn by Kid Trax. This is definitely a “WOW” gift for any 1-3 year old to find under the Christmas tree. It came with a pump to easily inflate it and Cozy just loves to push it around and bounce on it’s back. The wheels light up with colorful LED’s when you push it and it’s made of a very durable, soft rubber material that will last. You can get $5 off with the code “Babble5” until 12/14.
