Our Favorite Black Friday Toys From Amazon We Added To Our Wishlist
The holiday season is fast approaching, which means that our kids are going to start getting excited about all the toys under the Christmas tree. Our shopping habits have changed a bit, and there are a ton of great options for kids of all ages available on Amazon.
If you're not sure what the hot toy is this year, don't worry. We found some of our favorite toys on Amazon that are entertaining for your kids, and you might be able to find some that are just as much fun for you too!
Build A New Kind Of Gingerbread House
LEGO is one of the toys I had as a kid that I constantly regret I didn't hold onto later in life. If you're looking for ways to bring back that nostalgia, grab the LEGO Creator Expert Gingerbread House. It's perfect for the holiday season, and you can still have a gingerbread house sitting in your house even if you're not all that handy in the kitchen and don't want to get your hands dirty.
Take The Pressure Off During Monopoly
Monopoly is the kind of game where tensions can rise pretty quickly. If you have some little ones who aren't quite ready for the high-stakes game of homeownership, grab them Monopoly Junior: Unicorn Edition. It's hard to get too upset that you're stuck in jail when you're a brightly-colored unicorn. Plus, the smaller board makes it easier to keep everyone on track so your kids will be ready when they're older.
Playing House Will Never Get Old
It doesn't matter what year it is, playing house is something that every young kid loves to do. They just want to just like mom and dad, after all. The Little Tikes First Oven is a great replica of the kitchen, so the little ones can pretend to make you breakfast, lunch, and dinner without worrying about burning the house down. Soon they'll be asking for your chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Practice Drawing With Confidence
Coloring as a kid is a great way to sharpen your creativity, but it can also be frustrating if you're trying to get better and just not seeing the results. The Crayola Light Up Tracing Pad is a great tool to help bridge that gap, as it allows you to track over pictures on tracking paper to get a better understanding of how to get better. It's not too bright and you can even brush up your drawing skills too.
Help Sooth Them To Sleep
If you're a new parent, you've probably found yourself jumping out of bed at a moments notice when your child starts to cry. That's to be expected, but the Playskool Glo Worm SmartSense Cry Sensor can help you out a bit. The Glo Worm can sense when your baby is crying and springs into action, and you can even record your voice to give your baby that personal touch when you're not right there.
Every Princess Needs A Castle
There are some toys that just never go out of style, and dolls are definitely one of them. While kids have so much imagination for what they can do with their dolls, it's always nice for them to have a place to call home. The Disney Princess Castle can house all of your child's favorite princes and princesses, and is light and portable, so you can pack it up when playtime is over.
Perfect For The Disney Fan In Your Life
Some gifts for you children can also be subtle gifts for you as well. If you and your child both equally have a love for Disney, the Disney Year of the Mouse Pack is the perfect gift for you both to share. With 13 different Mickey Mouse plushies to choose from, you both with have a collection for a lifetime that you can enjoy today and strengthen your bond and love of Disney.
Some Kids Just Want To Conduct Experiments
While most parents are constantly on the search for the next big toy, it never hurts to find something that's both fun and educational. The NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Earth Science Kit can provide hours of fun, and maybe even give your kid a leg-up in science class. With over 15 different experiments, they can learn how to grow a crystal, build a volcano and see it erupt, and it's all super easy to set up.
I'm So Happy Hot Wheels Never Got Old
One of my favorite toys growing up was my collection of Hot Wheels cars. There would be tracks all over the house as I'd race my favorites for hours. Now, Hot Wheels has really stepped it up with the Hot Wheels Sky Crash Tower Track Set. Instead of just going left to right, the track is shooting up and down, bring with it all kinds of excitement. Don't be surprised if you end up playing with it just as much as your kids.
Let Your Kids Know What It's Like Dealing With Their Own Child
You learn a lot about kids once you have one of your own. You'll do anything for them, no matter what mood they're in. The furReal Moodwings Snow Dragon does a great job of mimicking what it's like to have a little one of their own. She has her own personality, so your kid will learn when she's hungry, when she's upset, and can care for her every need. Plus, her wings are downright beautiful.
Get Them A Dog That Doesn't Shed All Over The Couch
Be wearing if you're thinking about getting your family a pet for the holidays. They're a lot of work, and require lots of love. If you're not ready for that responsibility, maybe try out Squeakee The Balloon Dog instead. This robotic dog comes to life when you inflate him, and you can teach him to sit and beg or get off if he's being a bit much. It's a perfect starter pet.
Keep Those Clothes Organized
If you have a child who's into Barbie, you probably have a few dolls and even more outfits. If you're sick of seeing little Barbie clothes all over the house, grab the Barbie Dream Closet to keep things organized. Sure, your kid might have trouble keeping their own room clean, but at least now Barbie has a place to store all her clothes. Plus, it's light enough that it can be packed up and taken wherever the next fashion show awaits.
Who Doesn't Want A Good Monster Truck?
As a kid, I would wish for a Monster Truck for every birthday. I don't even know if that meant a full-sized one or not, it just made sense. This Megalodon Storm All-Terrain Remote Control Monster Truck would have been a great gift for little me, and has been built to last on the road or in the water. So whether it's running through your living room over through the puddles outside, it's going to hold up.
Just Another Reminder That Everybody Poops
Learning to use the potty is a big moment in everyone's life, but it's always nice to know that someone else is going through the same lessons as you. The Gotta Go Flamingo is a hilarious toy that sings, talks, eats... and of course, poops. The food is totally reusable, and has the ability to repeat what you say. So when he breaks out in his "Uh Oh! Gotta Go!" song, you know it's time to get him to his toilet.
Finally Understand What Minecraft Is All About
If you're a parent who has a child who's obsessed with LEGO, you probably don't understand what all the commotion is about. I know I don't. But maybe this LEGO Minecraft Toy Action Playset can help bridge the gap a little bit. Not only will your kids get to play out their favorite game in real life, but you might actually start to understand what all the fuss is about.
Help Them Get A Headstart On Their Future
We're getting more and more technologically savvy every day, and our kids are leading the way. If your child has shown an interest in computer technology, grab them the Osmo - Coding Starter Kit to help them better understand how everything works. Kids can pick up these technologies so quickly, and this starter kit helps them learn the basics in a fun, stress-free environment. All you need is an IPad to add yourself.
Make Your Own Helping Hand
As our kids grow older, we count on them to give us a hand around the house. Why not turn that next chore into a perfect dad joke with this Mega Cyborg Hand STEM Experiment Kit. Your kid will get the chance to build themselves their very own mechanical hand that doesn't need a motor to operate and teach them a little about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems really work.
Give Your Hot Wheels Tracks A Few More Options
We already mentioned how much we love our Hot Wheels tracks, but some are made with only one track in mind. This Hot Wheels Track Builder Stackable Booster Kit instead allows your child to come up with a variety of different races, and can be connected to other tracks to really open things up a bit. Get ready for your living room to look a little like a NASCAR race.
Take A Trip On The Rails
There are so many new and exciting toys out there, but don't forget about some of the classics. We absolutely love the Lionel New York Central Model Train Set as a gift that your kids will love and that you can enjoy with a bit of nostalgia. Train collecting has really come into its own as a hobby for adults, and this can be a great way for you to spend some quality time with your kids as well.
Who Doesn't Want Their Own Batmobile?
No matter what version of Batman you grew up with, the Batmobile will forever be iconic. If your child has fallen in love with the caped crusader, the BATMAN Launch and Defend Batmobile Remote Control Vehicle could be the toy of their dreams. Not only can you strap Batman into the seat and remove him to fight crime, but you can drive around the Batmobile and launch him out of his seat and into action.
Baby Yoda Has Captured Our Hearts

If your child has gotten in on the fun, they've probably fallen in love with Baby Yoda. These Star Wars Collectible Toys are the perfectly cute gift for your kids to be able to carry around a miniature Baby Yoda for themselves, and there are plenty of different figures to choose from.
Build Your Own Superhero
Every Superhero has their own unique super power. While that makes enough sense in the real world, when you're playing with your action figures, you can be a little compromised. The Hasbro Marvel Super Hero Mashers Collection Pack gives your kid the chance to mix and match their favorite superheroes to give them a few more options when they're fighting crime, and may unlock the perfect hybrid super villain who just can't be stopped. It's up for you to decide.
Avengers! Assemble!
If you're a huge Avengers fan, you probably remember the iconic moment where the group teamed up and assembled for the first time. You can capture that moment with the Funko Pop! Avengers Assemble Series which features all six members, and can be assembled together to form one big figure. The first Funko Pop! announced is Tony Stark himself, with the rest of the Avengers set to be released afterward.
If there's a toy out there that really brings back memories of being a kid, it's the Bakugan, Dragonoid Infinity Transforming Figure. This figure has the ability to transform its head and wings, and also has 10 pieces of Baku-Gear to give your child a ton of different options. Wheter its a sword and shield or an infinity blaster, you'll have plenty of different ways to play to keep things exciting.
Finally, We Have A Card Game That Incorporates Burritos
The Exploding Kittens franchise has brought some new air into the traditional card games we grew up on. If you're a fan of the franchise, give Throw Throw Burrito a chance. Along with collecting cards faster than your opponents, you'll also be ducking and dodging these squishy burritos. Make sure that you hide all your breakables before playing, because things get spicy really quick. It can be a great way to unload your frustrations on your family and make it feel like a game.
This Is Giving Me Serious Bop It! Vibes

You can play by yourself, as a team or in a survivor mode, so there's something for everyone! There's over 15 different moves to perform, leading to millions of different combinations to keep your hands, and your feet, busy.
This Isn't Your Usual Marble Run
I still have memories of going to the doctor as a child, and there was always a marble run where you could create a few twists and turns before sending the marble down to the bottom. Well, the Ravensburger GraviTrax XXL Starter Set takes that and completely turns it on its head with over 240 pieces, making for all kinds of different options. This is perfect for those curious kids who are always looking to learn more about gravity, magnetism, and kinetics to offer brand new pathways.
Never Worry About The Banker Cheating Again
If you weren't suspicious that the banker was cheating when you were playing Monopoly, then you were probably the banker who was trying to convince everyone that you just happened to have $500 laying under the board somehow. Monopoly Ultimate Banking Board Game takes the cheating banker out of the equation by giving everyone credit cards instead, and speeds things along with tap technology. What's also different is how property values rise and fall throughout the game, adding another element to the game.
E.T. Phoned, He Wants To Go Home
I'm sure we'd all like off this planet at different points in our life, but now you can get a game that makes that dream a bit of a reality. Drone Home is an easy-to-play game where you race to load your aliens into the drone before it takes off, while your opponents try to knock you out of the loading dock. What's really cool is that the drone actually takes off in the end!
Every LOL Doll Needs An OMG House
If you're a parent, there's a good chance your child has fallen in love with the LOL dolls. If they have too many to keep track of, they're probably looking for a home to keep them in. The LOL Surprise OMG House has all kinds of surprises to keep them entertained, including 6 rooms, a pool, and even an elevator. With working lights and sound effects, your child will have the perfect setting for all of their dolls' adventures.
Pippa Posie Has A Secret
Dolls have really become more exciting then the Barbie's we grew up with. Take this Pippa Posie doll for instance. Not only does Pippa come with Millie Dollops, her mini doll best friend, but there are all kinds of secrets to unlock. She might have something hidden in her hair, or maybe in her bow. All those pieces come together to help create Pippa's mini doll, and create your own DIY jewelry after.
Camille Is The American Girl From The Beach
American Girl dolls have become huge with so many different characters, so there's something for everyone out there. As they continue to diversify their cast of characters, even more dolls have been released. The American Girl WellieWishers Camille Doll adores the ocean and has a tie-dye print that looks just like the ocean. Her unique features, like a freckle on her cheek and silky blond hair, make her a one-of-a-kind purchase.
Take A Journey With Kyla
Along with American Girls, Journey Girls have become the go-to dolls on the market. They are incredibly lifelike and diverse, with dolls coming in all different shapes and sizes. That means there's someone for everyone. The Kyla Doll is incredibly expressive, as all Journey Girls have hand-painted faces to make them really stand out. You can mix and match her clothing, so Kyla can dress up for formal occasions or keep it casual for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Dress Up When It's Too Cold To Build A Snowman
It's been a couple of years, but Frozen is still one of the iconic films any young Disney fan will gravitate to. If your child wants to dress up as the Disney princess, grab Elsa's Journey Dress Up Trunk. It comes with 17 different pieces, so there's a look for every occasion. The lightweight cardboard box also gives you a compact place to store all of Elsa's things for when playtime ends.
Every Princess Or Prince Needs A Sidekick
Sure, Anna and Elsa might have gotten all of the love in the movie, but where would either of them have been without Olaf? Well, if you're looking for your own snowman sidekick, Follow-Me Friend Olaf comes to life in ways other toys don't. Use the snowflake controller to bring Olaf to life, and see him sing, talk, and follow the snowflake around the house. He'll make for a great Christmas guest.
