"I imagine many of us remember a coveted present we received during the holidays as a child. For me, every birthday, holiday, or âsurprise treatâ day involved a Winnie the Pooh-themed gift. Whether it was a stuffed animal or the newest movie (on VHS), Winnie the Pooh was my âmust-have.â One year, I received the perfect Pooh Bear stuffed animal. I took him with me everywhere, hand in paw. One day, he got wet, and using my impeccable kid logic, I decided to use a hair dryer to dry him off. Thenâeven with a blow dryer burnâmy beloved Pooh toy stuck with me throughout the years.
Now, as grown-ups, itâs no surprise we want to give the kids in our lives the same magic we felt as children. Thatâs where the 2024 Amazon Toy Catalog can help. Amazon compiles the list of the hottest toys of the year; from creative spins on classic favorites to brand-new toys kids will love, the 2024 Amazon holiday toy list has over 300+ recommendationsâwith some from small and sustainable businesses. Itâs also where many kids start their holiday wishlistsâessentially todayâs Toys âRâ Us catalog.
Sifting through over 300 toys is more than most of us have time for, though. So, hereâs a little gift. To make the search for holiday gifts easier, check out over 30 of the best new toys for kids this year from Amazonâs 2024 Toys We Love List.
How We Chose the Hottest Toys from the Amazon List
Believe it or not, thereâs an art to decoding the hottest new toys for kids. To break down Amazonâs top toy list into something manageable, we thought about some important considerations: hit kidsâ movies and TV shows (looking at you, Bluey), a mix of gifts that foster learning and independent play, and previous reader favorites. Not to mention, our team is made up of moms, aunties, and a grandma(!) who have purchased or will be purchasing some of these gifts for the kids in their lives. So, before sifting through hundreds of toy descriptions, check out our best selections from the 2024 Amazon holiday toy list.
