Holiday of Play is the holiday office party for those in the toy industry. The Toy Insider doesn’t only know play but they know how to throw a party. I know I say that every year. The thing is, it is the truth. They bring food, drinks, decor, and the toys everyone will be shopping for to one room so we can eat, drink, and play for a few hours before rushing home to decide which of the toys that top their lists will make our gift guides. It was hard to narrow down my Holiday of Play favorite finds because there were so many goodies to play with.
Kanoodle Ultimate Champion – Two years later and JustaBXgirl still walks around with Kanoodle in her bag. Seeing the Ultimate Champion version at Holiday of Play made it a no-brainer for this list. It has 500 puzzles to solve and a timer to keep you on task. This is a great gift idea for a stocking stuffer.
Numberblocks One to Five Sensory Bottles – Hops has been obsessed with these since I brought them home from Holiday of Play. We have played with them every day. I love it because she is not only giving me a peek into her imagination (One and Five are besties, Four runs a bakery), she is also doing math. She loves that they show the numbers on the side and they can be stacked. Plus they are so much fun to shake and watch settle.
Real FX Disney Stitch – Everyone loves Stitch. This will be a HOT item for the holidays. Order early or miss out. It is a puppet with over 100 sound combinations. You will be feeling like Stitch is really in your home!
Alphapals – You know we love some plushies. And we love some learning toys. Together you have Alphapals. This business was started by a mom who loves her child. She used them as a way to communicate with her little. These would make great additions to any plush collection and any classroom.
Fingerlings Axolotls – I know that I just shared these in my Sweet Suite recap but they are just so cute and they’re affordable. The axolotl can swim on its own in water and sings a song outside of water.
Fresh Cuddles – We have been fans of The Fresh Dolls for years. The Cuddles have become our new favorites from the line. They are completely huggable and adorable. There are currently four to collect.
