FAO Schwarz
Some kids are mesmerized when they watch a train go around the Christmas tree. This year, give your kids magic they’ve only seen in Disney movies. Add the FAO Schwarz Ride on Train to your holiday shopping list and watch their eyes light up on Christmas morning! This ride-on train includes 15 feet of track, allowing your child to travel around the tree and presents. It can move forward and backward and has three incredible train sounds.

Children ages three and up will love riding on this train. And even though it makes us think of the holiday season, there’s no reason this train can’t be used year-round!
Storytime Toys
Over the years, we’ve found that classic toys and games are often overlooked in favor of toys that seem to provide some sort of “educational value” in the form of flashing lights (and way too many batteries). However, we’ve found that toys for 2 year olds that encourage our children to build, act, move and engage seem to have longer playtime than those that just make a lot of noise.
Storytime Toys does just that by bringing childhood classics to the next generation in a brand-new way. With Goldilocks and the Three Bears, let your kids fully immerse themselves in the classics this Christmas.
Make the setting of a story come to life as you and your child build out the Giant’s Grocery Store in Jack and the Giant’s Grocery Store and Beanstalk, just like in the story! Read the included storybook and then use the included characters to act out your own version of the tale.
Each set is made of yoga mat material and high-quality card stock that can sustain even the toughest little builders. The pieces fit together like a 3-D puzzle and fold flat in a portable carrying case conveniently designed to fit on your bookshelf. Assembling the Away in a Manager Nativity Story is as easy as pressing tabs into place. No tools or screws are required.
With Arthur’s Tree House, kids can read a story, play, and imagine themselves as part of the story while building out the details. They will love Storytime Toys so much, that you’ll quickly be looking for another story to jump into!
