What Xmas toys are still a hit?

Mine are still playing daily with dress up stuff, Imaginex, art supplies, and Leapster games.

 

Wheelies stand and play rampway
Thomas cars and tracks
Stuffed animals (okay, one of them)
books

 

Just a stuffed cookie monster that plays Jingle Bells, but they keep singing and wanting to hear Frosty the Snowman, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on my ipod . I NEVER thought I would be listing to Christmas songs when it is almost April :smilie_xmas_116: . Heck they even asked to watch a Christmas DVD the other day.

 

Their pillow pets are still a huge hit. Also, they got some miniature ponies with a truck and horse trailer. They play with those almost daily and in the tub.

They got a pony/tire swing that hasn't been put up yet. But I know that will be a huge hit too this summer. My sister has ponies and babysits the girls. They are a little obsessed with ponies.

 

Leapster Explorers!! Thomas the train with the track, Woody doll from Toy Story that Ava got!

My 2 are already discussing what Santa may bring next Christmas! and asked the cashier at the grocery store the other day what she wants Santa to bring! LOL! When the cashier asked them what they wanted, Addison said GOLD!! yeah - ME TOO!!! LOL!! :smilie_xmas_116:

 

Crocodile Creek floor puzzles (USA and Dinosaurs)

Princess dress up stuff

Wooden mixer and coffee set for their play kitchen

My Little Ponies

 

Buzz and Woody dolls. The train table without the tracks. They kept going Godzilla on them so we took off the tracks. We are going to try it again over the summer when they're a little older. Plus, we are going to screw the tracks together since they need to be in a certain order to work.

 

The train table was by far the best investment of all. We've used it for Geotrax, for megablocks creations, for wooden train track. It's also been used as a big couch, and a dancing stage, both unapproved by us! :lol:

 

Pretty much everything still. Barbies, woody and buzz, hungry hungry hippos game, go fishing game, mega blocks. I rotate their toys so some things have gone away for awhile to keep them exciting.

 

LOL - ours keep doing the same - I have thought about glueing the tracks down but am afraid I will regret it some day.


But also have to say the train table is still played with regularly. Oh and the bean bags - still a favorite.

 

Magnatiles! (My kids are older, but I responded to this anyway because Magnatiles are an awesome toy for 3+.)

They also love their Polly Pockets, but I don't think kids much younger than 4 have the manual dexterity for them.

 

If you decided to mount the train track, do it on a separate board, to prolong the life of the table. My son is now 7, and the table is now used for Lego. He currently has the Lego train track set up on it, but in the past has had an emergency set up with boats, planes, police, and firefighting stuff. My Nephew has his Rokenbok on his currently. They are definately a long term investment. It has also been used as a puzzle table, and for a short time, even the coffee table.

Leapster Explorer games, Pillow Pets, Disney Fairies, puzzles & games.

 

I wouldn't screw tracks together. Jack almost daily builds new and exciting train tracks. I'd hate for him to not have that option.

 

Tea party set, books, Charlie Brown movies, Toy Story action figures, BBQ set, art supplies.

 

Kid K'nex from 2 and 3 Christmases ago are still played with every.single.day. My boys are still wearing their cloaks I sewed for them. Some days they're Jedi, sometimes The Cape, sometimes Muskateers, just depends on what they've been reading or watching or making up. And the books are still being read. Other things are hit and miss.

 

Imaginext stuff just made a huge comeback in our house. Tag, puzzles, dress up stuff. Duplos and Leapsters have not been used lately. :unknw:

 

Leapsters and Tags would be played with constantly if I let them. Thomas trains and tracks are still the favorite.
