Touch ‘N’ Go Bullet Train by Little Tikes
Do you have a little locomotive lover in your life? If so, we’ve got the perfect gift for them this holiday season – the Touch ‘N’ Go Bullet Train! Watch your little one’s face light up when they activate this small, electric train with just a gentle touch to one of the marked areas on the train’s engine. They can make it speed along tracks or on the floor, bring it to a halting stop, or listen to one of the fun train sounds, like the revving engine or blow of the horn.
The Touch ‘N’ Go Bullet Train comes with 4 connectable train cars and 10 pieces of snap-together track that can be configured in a number of ways. Unlike other toy train sets, the track in this set is soft and bendable allowing your little one to create curves in the track or even bumpy arches for the train to cruise over! The Touch ‘N’ Go Bullet Train is perfect for ages 2+ and we’ve found that both girls and boys love this toy! Not to mention, this isn’t a toy that will break the bank, making it an affordable gift for any kid on your list.
Touch ‘N’ Go Racers from Little Tikes
The Little Tikes Touch ‘N’ Go Racers will knock the socks off your child this holiday season! They look like standard oversized race cars, but they’re packing some big surprises. Simply put your finger on any one of the key touch points (highlighted with easy-to-see stickers), and these cars will rev their engines, beep their horns, and zzzzoom off across the room!
These cars utilize a touch sensor technology that’s super intuitive for children – simply touch the stickered “touch points,” and the car will truly come to life – your child will be shocked at how fast these cars race! With a variety of racers in the line – from a pickup truck, to a police car, to race cars – there’s a version for every child, and, with two or more vehicles, your child will love racing them to see which one is the fastest – over and over and over again!
Adjust and Jam Pro by Little Tikes
Got a future pro basketball player in your house–or a kid who just likes trying new sports? The Little Tikes Adjust and Jam Pro is a great basketball hoop for indoor or outdoor use to introduce your kid to the sport. The basketball hoop adjusts to five different heights from 4 ft to 6 ft, perfect for growing with your child. The rim breaks away for any wild dunks, making it safer for younger kids and impossible to hang from. The base also fills with sand for extra stability and safety–you can feel good knowing that it won’t tip over on smaller children.
The Little Tikes Adjust and Jam Pro will make for hours of fun for your active child. It come with a plastic ball and it is designed so that the base of the stand is angled to rebound the ball right back to your star forward. The manufacturer recommends this hoop for ages 24 months to 15 years!!! You’ll definitely get your money’s worth with this gift.

Kidcraft Bucket Top Construction Train Set from PishPosh Baby
If your construction-obsessed little dude is underwhelmed with traditional train sets (because they don’t have any construction equipment!), the Kidcraft Bucket Top Construction Train Set from PishPosh Baby will have him putting on his hard hat and saying, “Let’s get to work!” in no time flat!
The Bucket Top Construction Train set is smartly made of wooden tracks that accommodate popular train sets like Thomas & Brio, and comes equipped with wooden construction vehicles, a working crane that can pick up and move various piles of stones and beams, wooden construction workers, cones, trees, and more. There’s even a pint-sized quarry! From a parent perspective, we love the fact that the entire 61-piece train set fits inside the included storage box (the mountain section of the train track is the lid to the bucket!), and, assembling the tracks is simple enough that you won’t spend hours putting it together.

John Deere Gear Force Harvest Action Combine Set by TOMY
Is there a little farmer in your family? Then he will love this John Deer Harvest Action Combine Set by Gear Force.
Gear Force is a toy line from TOMY where your preschooler’s favorite vehicles have been enhanced for a whole new level of awesome! Your child will have a blast creating their own off-road adventures and telling stories with these incredible off-road machines, figures, and animals! Each set is practically its own story in a box!
We particularly love the Harvest Action Combine Set. Sure, this is a fun toy, but it also emphasizes a solid work ethic. Machines aren’t just for racing around the room. They have purpose, and this toy teaches kids a little bit about actually working on the farm. If you know anything about farming yourself, you’ll enjoy laying on the ground and helping your child create different scenarios.
This set also has the ability to pick up the included corn cubes and ‘pop’ them out the hopper! Other features include lights, sounds (engine noises, harvester sounds and the worker shouting a warning), and opening side panels.You’ll also receive two articulated figures, a bull, and lots of accessories.
This interactive toy is so much fun that it’ll get hours of play long after Christmas morning.

The Brachiosaurus Backhoe, named Boom, from Educational Insights combines two things boys love, construction vehicles and dinosaurs, and puts them into one amazingly entertaining toy. Your little dude will be engrossed in the imaginative play that the Brachiosaurus Backhoe inspires, and you’ll love watching his imagination grow and develop as he takes this new vehicle on adventures.
Made with durable plastic intended to withstand some serious construction adventures, both indoors and outdoors, there’s nothing that can stop Boom the backhoe. Boom’s large size is enchanting, and the realistic scooping motion, and moveable tracks that leave dino-footprints behind in the dirt will have your little boy exploring the great outdoors for hours at a time. His neck is fully telescoping, his jaw opens and closes, and the backhoe cab rotates 360 degrees, just like a real backhoe. Our favorite part? This backhoe is completely kid-powered – no batteries, lights, or sounds – it is completely up to your child’s imagination!
Chicago Cruiser Skateboard
Fun meets functional with the new Chicago Cruiser Skateboard! These electric colored skateboards are fun for all ages and are designed to last. Coming in a variety of colors, including blue, red, black, pink and white you are sure to find one that matches your child’s personality. These skateboards are a throwback to the vintage 70’s style long boards and are really a perfect starter board if you have a child that wants to learn how to use one. They have a heavy-duty, high impact deck so they are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear and still look great afterwards.
Safety is always number one when searching for sports equipment for your kids, so you’ll be glad to know that these boards were designed in a way to really ride smoothly and safely. From the heavy-duty hard deck to the 59 x 45mm 78A PU Cast Urethane Wheels, ABEC 7 Bearings and all aluminum alloy trucks, you can be sure that this won’t be falling apart after a few rides. Skateboarding is a great and very cool way to help promote balance, agility and coordination.
