These Games, Toys and More Make Great Gifts for Younger Kids
If you ask a child what is on their wish list, chances are you’ll receive some pie-in-the-sky ideas that will make you laugh. Maybe not, but that was our experience when the girls were little. They knew we weren’t going to rush out and buy them a MacBook Air, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t part of the dream. It’s so common with kids and you really can’t fault them for hoping. But for those of us who have our feet firmly planted on the ground, here are a few ideas that are wholesome, fun and include some of our favorite licenses such as Marvel.
Spidey Web Spinning Hauler
Jazwares
Save the city with the Spider Friends and their amazing Web Spinning Hauler. Spidey takes the wheel as Ghost and Miles operate two Web Dart Launchers. Spin the dial on the Hauler’s rear to the correct symbol and either Ghost or Miles will emerge from the roof with their own Web Dart Launcher. Press the button on each launcher to blast out a Web Dart at any villain. Spin the dial back to the Spidey symbol and the Hauler’s roof will close as Spidey maintains pursuit. Collect this transforming 3-in-1 vehicle and more Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends toys.
Turtle Splash

Slide and steady wins the race! It’s hot! All the animals of the jungle are meeting at the lake… But Turtle is late, as usual. How can he join his friends as soon as possible? Slide down the river!

CoComelon Boo Boo JJ
Jazwares
“I bumped my head!” Oh, no! JJ is hurt! With the CoComelon Deluxe Boo Boo JJ Plush, JJ will show you where he’s hurt, whether it’s on his head, elbow, knee, or foot. These areas will light up so that your child can quickly come to the rescue, Bandage Case and Check-up Bag in tow! The Bandage Case has three CoComelon-themed bandages. JJ reacts when he’s hurt, and then when he’s healed. When JJ starts to cry, cure the boo boo by gently applying a bandage over the lit-up area. Then, JJ will giggle or go “Wee” and say “Yay! My boo boo is gone!” among other fun phrases and sounds. If you need to listen to JJ’s heart, check his temperature, or give him a shot, the Check-Up Bag has it all! The Deluxe Boo Boo JJ Plush also plays a clip of ‘The Boo Boo Song’ when you press his belly! Your little one will learn how to care for and cure ‘boo boos’ and ‘ouchies’ with CoComelon’s Deluxe Boo Boo JJ!
