This parent liked it so much, they purchased two. “I bought this set for my 11-year-old with autism who struggles to stay sitting for any length of time. The build took about three hours for her, and she sat there and did it in one setting (while I did my own Stitch set alongside her). It was great for bonding, and it’s the longest she’s focused on any project in a long time.”
The Mutant Mayhem Pizza Fire Delivery Van is on the move from the big screen straight to your child’s playroom. There’s room for the whole turtle gang inside, so they can work together to battle the bad guys (or annoying siblings) with flying pizzas (pressing the pizza slice on top activates the pizza launcher).
Said a pleased grandparent: “I recently purchased the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Van for my almost-four-year-old grandson. He was so excited when he opened it up. With a few simple steps, it was ready for action. He immediately opened the back door and loaded up his turtles. An hour later, he was still playing with it. The van was bigger than I expected and very colorful and sturdy.”

Little tornadoes will love wreaking all the havoc they want with the Monster Trucks Rhinomite — the toy lets them smash and crash to their hearts’ content.

At $15, it’s a great buy, considering it comes with a Monster Truck, two crushed cars, and the Rhinomite. Prepare for endless sound effects — from your kiddo, that is.

Pretend tools include everything from interchangeable polishing and drill heads to a pick, mirror, and floss. It’s never too early to learn about good dental hygiene — or demystify going to the dentist.
“My kids love role-playing and this dentist kit provides a great opportunity for them. My daughter and her friends have spent hours pretending. They delight in being the dentist and discovering cavities (from the plaque stickers they apply). It’s well worth the small investment," a thrilled parent said.
Instead of gas, this Frozen-themed ride runs on bubbles dispensed as kids scoot around, powering it by foot or electricity. By pushing the button on the handlebar, it turns into an EV ride (at 2 mph, the average walking pace). The rechargeable battery provides 40 minutes of run time.
“My daughter is obsessed with her electric scooter," raved a shopper. "She loves the bubbles that come out of the back. She says they make her ‘go faster’. Our dog loves to chase after her to pop the bubbles.”
Bluey characters come to life in this wooden playhouse where preschoolers can use their imagination to dream up new adventures on the daily. The 18-piece set comes with a Bluey and Bingo figure, dozens of accessories like outfits, toys, and sweets — and two double-sided play scenes where all the adventures unfold.

There’s so much interactive and imaginative fun to be had here.
One super satisfied dad said, “Our 9-month-old loves this. He’s learned how to push the button to open the doors and is attempting to put the animals in the barn. It keeps him entertained longer than most of his toys.”
This easy-build bike teaches new riders how to put the pedal to the metal. Designed especially for tots learning how to ride, the bike has narrow pedal positions and smaller grips to provide a more stable ride. With tool-free assembly, it’s a cinch to adjust the seat, training wheels and pedals to fit your child as they grow. But most of all, the bike gives them the confidence to ride off into the sunset.
“My girl loved her new bike. It’s well-made and lightweight, which makes it easy to transport. I’m going to buy a smaller one for her younger sibling," a purchaser said.
