The holiday season is only getting closer and that means that it is time to start getting your shopping lists prepped and ready so that when black Friday hits you are ready to hit the ground running.
The hottest trend for this year’s holiday shoppers is interactive toys and we are here to break it down for you so that you’re not left paying those outrageous eBay prices whenever crunch time hits. So, without further ado let’s just get into it
Best Robot Toy Gifts for Toddlers
From the 1950’s all the way to today we have been obsessed with robots. From TV shows to movies, sci-fi, comic books and now into the real-world children and adults alike have had a fascination with the idea of having robots as companions, cooking, cleaning and more. This year’s hottest interactive toys are bound to be robots and the hottest robot for 2020 will be:
1. Anki Cozmo
This little robot is so full of emotion and is bound to be a great companion to whoever you are shopping for, both kids and the kids-at-heart.
Cozmo has so many features pack into such a little package, including games and Explorer Mode. In Explorer Mode it let’s you actually see things from Cozmo’s perspective, where you can literally see what he sees. There is also a mode that I am personally excited for, where you are introduced into the world of coding, where you can actually code everything in sequence of what you want him to do.
If you are shopping for the best robot for a toddler, there is still an option for you to introduce your little tyke into the world of interactive robots and that is:
2. Fisher-Price Think & Learn Teach ‘n Tag Movi
This little robot has 60+ different faces and 360 degree mobility that means it can go wherever you go. There are 3 fun ways to play that focus on engaging their critical thinking skills, teaching them how to follow directions, and also how to have fun and get silly with a dance party. This toy robot is bound to keep your kid engaged and teach them new skills that are important for their developing minds.
Best Drones for Toddlers
Ever since the Wright Brothers took flight in 1903, humans have been obsessed with flight. And what is the newest obsession? Remote controlled drones.
Whether you are a seasoned drone pilot, someone who watches way too much YouTube (don’t worry we won’t judge you), or just someone with the heart of an explorer, there is no denying the cool factor that a drone has. This year’s hottest drone, without question is:
3. DJI Spark
When it comes to the world of drones, DJI has been the leader of the pack for the last 5 years but with the release of the more affordable and super compact DJI spark 2 years ago, they changed the game.
From its gesture controls, full HD camera, and maximum flight speed of 31 miles per hour, it is a wonder how they fit all of that in to such a small package.
Needless to say, this is one package I am hoping to see under my Christmas tree this holiday season.
Best Learning Robots for Toddlers
Even though this list has been all fun and games up to this point, that doesn’t mean that I have forgotten about the practical parents out there that are looking not only for fun, but also something that is educational. And when it comes to developing a child’s brain it has been proven that when children learn as they play, their minds are more engaged, and therefore are able to retain more of what they are learning. Our top learning toy of 2020 is:
4. Kano Computer Kit Touch
This might be my favorite item on this list just because of how much you are able to do with it. Not only do you learn how to build a computer with this kit, but you also learn how to code, make art, and even create your own games.
Whenever I say that this product will teach your kids how to code, I don’t mean some simple proprietary code that doesn’t translate into anything in the real world. What I mean is your kid will learn code that can be carried over into the real world with coding languages such as Python, Javascript and Terminal commands.
The beauty of this product is that you learn as you play and lays the foundation for making your own websites, games and more.
Best Robot Toy Pet
We all know that our children would love to hear the little yips of a puppy under the Christmas tree, but we also know that real puppies cause real messes. Not to mention that when we get our kids a new pet, a lot of the time it is good ol’ mom and dad that actually end up taking care of it. But have no fear I have a great solution for you that is bound to make your child happy, but without the piddle pads. This year’s top toy pet is:
5. WowWee Chippies
From the makers of Chip, the robot dog, comes a pack of robot puppies, chipper, chippo, chippette and chippella.
These little robot puppies are more than just cute, they also are completely interactive, you can walk them, pet them, and they are even able to give you puppy kisses.
These little puppies are able to wander on their own and even guard your room from potential intruders. With everything that these cute puppies are able to do, they are bound to put a smile on your kiddo’s face.
Best Toy Robot For Active Toddlers
Sometimes our kids have too much energy which can turn into things being broken around the house, tears, and frustration (for both the parent and the kid). But this isn’t how things have to be. Sometimes all kids need is for their energy to be focused on something that engages both their body and mind. That least me to our last toy on this list:
6. Fisher-Price Think and Learn Smart Cycle
With its Bluetooth capability your TV doesn’t have to be taken up by your child’s playtime, as they can Bluetooth this cycle to a tablet and continue play whenever you need to watch your shows. With 3 ways to play including, driving, gaming and racing there are bound to be plenty of smiles and laughter whenever your child climbs on this bike for their next play session.
This also isn’t some flimsy toy that will break the first time they use it, as it is constructed with a steel frame tough enough to handle whatever your kid dishes out.
This immersive experience is so much fun that you will wish that there was an adult size so that you can play too!
