By separating toys into 3 categories such as Movie Toys, Outdoor Toys, and Hottest Toys you can easily find what you are looking for. This is a strong year for toys on the Most Wanted List including 35 toys that are sure to be top sellers.
Spin Master has a full line of for The Secret Life of Pets that will be arriving in theaters on July 8th See what happens when the Pet’s owners on gone for the day and the characters are living the life and taking in the sights of the big city.
For the craft maker in your house Alex Toys has something for everyone. The Shrinky Dinks 3-d flower jewelry is sure to be a big hit for the pre-teens. I love that Alex toys makes crafting easy and sewing a breeze with easy knotting system. I love how they also incorporate so of the latest trends and movies into their line-up
If you haven’t seen Finding Dory yet this summer, run to your nearest theater and enjoy every moment of it. Afterwards you can head to your nearest toy store and see the cutest plush toys of Nemo, Marlin and Dory. Ban Dai has the best collection to bring the animated film to life. The Mr. Ray 3-n-1 is adorable with magnets attached to keep his whole school of fish in line, you won’t have to worry about losing your pieces as they will fit directly inside.
Ban Dai also showcases Miraculous Ladybug the only authentic, modern every-girl superhero. The product line is based on the mom-approved series that airs on Nickelodeon delivering key themes of aspirational action play, transformation and friendship. Hasbro has been a household name even when I was a child, I still love playing with Play-Doh – the smell of it takes me back in time. With Civil War being a big hit every super hero fan will want to have MARVEL CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR MAGNETIC SHIELD & GAUNTLET and don’t forget about Frozen this DISNEY FROZEN LITTLE KINGDOM ARENDELLE TREAT SHOPPE will keep your little ones entertained for hours. And for the big kid in everyone is PLAY-DOH TOWN FIRE TRUCK
When it comes to a favorite that I believe almost every boy and girl has played with it has to be Hot Wheels by Mattel. “Open up the unlimited world of the Track Builder System, where kids are in the driving seat of their own play experience. Creating stunts and races with an entire system that works together, kids can enjoy open-ended play and be inspired to:
- Experiment with speed and gravity to push their Hot Wheels cars to the limit
- Problem solve with built-in measuring tools and challenges
It seems that each collection of Shopkins and Little Live Pets is getting better and better each season. Moose Toys has outdone themselves again. Shopkins are making collecting and trading fun and now can be worn as bracelets too! The Little Live Pets has added turtles to their collection which comes in its own carry case too.
Pacific Cycle brings us Schwinn SmartStart the first complete fit system designed specifically for kids to get them motivated by feeling comfortable and confident. These bikes have been redesigned to fit a child’s proportions. They also offer Kid Trax which offers the most creative driving experience for kids with vehicles that look and sound like the real deal.
Peppa Pig is still a favorite for preschoolers and well as Chucks Friends. Jazwares brings Peppa Pig fans the charm and fun-loving personalities of all their favorite characters with its new line of creative toys that both parents and children will enjoy. The Peppa Pig toy collection features a range of preschool items,including plush,collectible figures, toy vehicles, play sets and more. Chuck the dump truck and his truck friends are joined by a line of Marvel licensed super hero trucks to in this line of toy vehicles.
