While I love choosing the perfect gift for a boy or a girl, I find it harder to choose a gift that they both would love to play with, and that was my challenge here. There should be something here for every kid on your list!
1. Y-Volution Y-Fliker F1 Scooter: $119.99: One of the hot toys of the season, it wasn’t on my radar until my friend Jean told me about it. This scooter has 3 wheels and a cool side to side steering motion, plus it folds for easy storage and portability.
2. EZ Roller Ride On, $129, Pottery Barn Kids: This award-winning ride-on is fast, fun, and safe!
3. Bounce & Play Hand Trampolines, $29.99, Toys to Grow On: The soft, squishy ball and elastic-centered discs make this a great choice for younger kids.
4. Wiggle Wobble Balance Board, $49.99, Toys to Grow On: This fun game builds balance and brain power, with games to enhance memory, color recognition and more.
5. Inhabit Design & Construction, $79.95, Imagine Toys: We bought this a couple of years ago for the girls, and it’s one of their most played with items. A French designer invented this ingenious toy, which allows kids to build amazing forts with modern style.
6. Tent, $79.95, Imagine Toys: What child wouldn’t love a tent? This one is simple enough to allow your child’s imagination to take over…It can be a fort, a castle, a hideout, a store… And it can be personalized with their name!
