Getting the toy of the year for that special child each year can oftentimes be an absolute nightmare. Parents wait in lines all night long for the release of that one toy their child is dying to have, and sometimes they still miss out. Getting an early start can allow parents to avoid all of the craziness.
Kate Tanner has been in the business of toys for over thirty years, so she definitely knows everything there is to know about this business. The first toy that she recommends on the list is the “Lil’ Gleemerz.” These almost remind us of Furbies---remember those? They were those strange little creatures that looked like a cross between a Koala Bear and a Gremlin! The little Gleemerz play games, talk, and light up. These cuties can be found at any local toy store for an average of twenty-five dollars. Waiting too long could put you in the craze when prices skyrocket, so be sure to get it now while the price is at its best. What better way to spend Christmas than with brand new toys!

The next on the list is the Pet Vet Playset. Everyone has seen the little doctor’s kits children played with many years ago, and those portable bags with stethoscopes and tongue depressors were loved by almost every kid. This new version has many more interesting details. Instead of a human doctor’s kit, this is a veterinarian’s kit. Any child who likes animals would absolutely love this toy. To many, the best thing about these toys is that they are things that will get their child off of the phone or tablet and into an activity of a different kind of playing! As Kate the toy expert shows how kids will put the Elizabethean collars around the stuffed puppy’s neck, she says, “Think of what it teaches: empathy, caring. There’s so much more than just playing with a kit that goes with great toys.” This kit also includes a little “paw cast,” a stethoscope, a stuffed dog and cat, and much more. Any future veterinarian needs this in their armory of play! This kit can be found online and in toy stores for less than thirty dollars.

The third toy that is super hot this year is the “Harry Potter Light Painting Wand.” At first glance, this may seem like just a wand with a light on the tip. However, the second part is what makes this toy one of the most exciting of the year. There is an app that goes with it that allows the user to record the tracing of the painting wand! This lets you see what your movements trace on your screen. This is just way awesome.
