THE ULTIMATE KIDS TOYS GIFT GUIDE 2020



Finding the right Xmas pressies is always a tricky one… yeah, I’m sure other kids are just like mine and love anything new that they get. But finding that great gift that will continue to get play time, even weeks and months later - that’s the presents that I personally always strive to give to my boys. I’ve got a few great examples here… 




First up is the most adorable one of them all, The Balloon Dog Squeakee. And yes, the plastic dog, looks exactly like he has been made of balloons. But he is so much more than that. He can make over 60 sounds and movements, and the more you play with him, the more he comes to life. I could keep going on and on about all the things he can do, so here’s just a few… if you tickle his tummy, he’ll be very happy, you can train him with the blue squeaker toy - one squeak and he’ll sit, two squeaks and he’ll beg, and three squads and he gets excited. You can also feed him with the pump and he might pee or fart (a clear winner with my boys!!!). And if he’s left alone for too long, he will bark to get your attention, and eventually sit. Continue to leave him, and he’ll drop down and fall asleep… snoring! Oh, and he also responds to your voice, the louder you tell him he’s been naughty, the more he will squeak, and eventually he will pop and deflate. Such a fun toy, which is sure to be a huge suggest. And one that doesn’t have to be fed or walked after all!!! Suitable for children aged 5+.

The Balloon Dog Squeakee - RRP: $100
Available from all good toy stores 




For the car loving boys, there’s this cool Boom City Racers Fireworks Factory, which has been designed for speed.

The playset is the ultimate way to race as it is a 3-in-1 transforming playset with three ways to play. The collectable cars rip out of their fireworks rocket launcher and explode apart on impact!

Kids can also race their friends on the side targets to be the first to set off the rockets, use the ramps to create epic 2-way aerial jumps, or hit the middle target to explode the Fireworks Factory.

The Boom City Racers cars are designed for speed thanks to having a super fast flywheel inside. The playset comes with one exclusive ‘Da Boss’ car, but you can also purchase extra cars individually to add to the collection. Suitable for children aged 4+.

My boys are typical boys and love dinosaurs - and cars - so needless to say that the Vtech Switch & Go Dinos is a massive hit. My big boys got one a few years ago for Xmas, and it still gets lot of play time, so in my opinion, a great toy. This new version, which comes in a few different models including a Triceratops, Therizinosaurus and this one, Seeker the T-Rex. 


The Dinos can quickly transform from vehicle to Dino in a few easy steps, so kids thereby get two twos in one!!

Depending on whether you have it transformed into T-Rex mode or Off-Road Car mode, it makes different sound effect as you push it along. And you can also push the action buttons to activate dinosaur facts and sound effects. You can also customise The Dino by choosing from a selection of cool driver and dinosaur faces displayed on the LCD screen, and when you push the different buttons, it activates fun phrases, interesting dinosaur facts and great sound effects. The Action Button on the back, also makes the Dino's claws move, as well as playing dinosaur sound effects, as well as the mouth also light up when the Action Button is pushed. Seriously the coolest toy for little boys!! Suitable for children 3 to 8 years. 

Switch & Go Dinos Action Crew - RRP: $30
Available from Kmart.


Finally there are these cool WOW! Pods, the. Newest way to display your favourite characters.

The cool characters live in a hex-shaped pod with built in UV lights, and you simply swipe to bring the pods to life as the character pops and the light reveals hidden images. 


There are so many different ones to collect, including Marvel, Harry Potter, and DC’s Super Friends, with various characters from each collection, and with collections from Disney Pixar, Disney Princess, Disney Frozen and Disney Classic joining soon - so there’s also characters to collect for both boys and girls!! 

So you can simply keep collecting pods and link them together in any way you like, to create a unique shape of display wall of WOW!!

They absolutely take my boys room’s to a whole new level. Oh, and I love that the light automatically switches off after 30 seconds
Suitable for 5 to 15-year-olds.

WOW! Pods - RRP: $29.95 each
Available from leading independent toy stores.
