These are the hottest toys for the holiday season…so you better get in quick!

With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve put together our annual list of our favourite toys for 2018. We know how mind-boggling it is to find the perfect gift for our kids so we hope this list will help make it easier to decide.

LeapBuilders Smart & Interactive Building Blocks

This is our pick of the perfect Christmas gift for your toddler. LeapBuilders, by LeapFrog, are not your average run-of-the-mill building blocks. They’re smart and interactive. LeapBuilders will keep your little ones engaged with all sorts of activities – building, stacking, giggling at the sounds, listening to the music, pulling blocks apart and putting them back together. So much fun! They also help to sharpen your kids’ developmental skills, creativity, and imagination. You see, we told you this was the perfect gift!

LeapBuilders are available in four different sets and can be purchased from Big W, good toy stores and online retailers.

  • It’s tricky to know when they’re so young but I watch my daughter who is very nurturing naturally and always sees that her dolls are ‘comfortable ‘. I bought 2 cabbage patch dolls – I probably over-compensated because I always wanted one too but now the beauty is that we can play together. She loves them dearly ♥️

  • I would have loved to buy the Monopoly Fortnight game for my son, but I had already enough presents, so choose not to buy it. Maybe for his birthday when it’s still there and he still likes it.

  • I saw the Fortnite board game and was very keen to get it For my nephews, but my sister said no more fortnite haha

  • Really know and understand the child you’re buying for and their interests. Board games are always fantastic – for the whole family! And always choose for the right age. I’ve seen many friends say their kids are so advanced and smart and buy toys that just aren’t suitable or appropriate. There is an age range for a reason.
