Remember last week when I shared the Hot 20 list of toys curated by The Toy Insider? This month, these lists are also featured in the November issue of Family Circle magazine. This year’s guide is the biggest ever, featuring more than 275 toys from more than 110 manufacturers. Parents and gift givers can easily search by a child’s age (broken out into 0-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9+ age groups) and interests using the handy skill-development key.
Well, I promised you another two lists to help you with your holiday shopping for the little ones in your life- here it is! The top STEM and Tech toys of 2016. These are the gifts that give back- knowledge, fun and education, that is!
Happy shopping!!!
