Kids these days are hard to please. They toss toys aside in minutes in preference for their iPads. Dolls and marbles no longer cut it like they did in the ‘60s.

Kids in 2024 need innovative toys that grab their attention and ignite their imagination

These 10 toys have sold out every month in 2024, and they’re available for a limited time to buy now.

If you want to see the joy light up in your grandkids’ eyes, hand them one of these – they’ll adore you forever.

I got the giant balloon for my grandson’s birthday. I blew it up while he was opening his other presents, and rolled it in the living room. He was shocked!!! The look on his face was priceless. He’s OBSESSED with this thing. So far it’s lasted a year without any damage.” – Susan

Imagine your grandkid opening normal presents on their birthday when suddenly a giant jelly balloon rolls into the living room.

You can just see their faces!

A Giant Jelly Balloon is an interactive toy that encourages exercise, balance, coordination, and social skills. It makes kids fall in love with the outdoors and physical play. 

The jelly balloon is safe to use (no popping – promise). Just pump it up with regular air, and set your grandkids loose to bounce, squeeze, toss, and flop.

When I got this ball for my grandson, he threw his arms around me like I was his favorite person in the world. I’ll never forget that moment, especially since kids at that age are hard to connect with since they’ve got their games and whatnot.  ” – Dan

WARNING: This gift is known to make grandkids LOVE their grandparents

The Galaxy Lights Flying Magic Orb is a sneaky way to level up young ones’ hand-eye coordination and get them outside. Fidget spinners are all the rage these days, so get the fidget-spinner shape and your grandkids will love you forever.     

Parents can relax, too, since it’s made with polypropylene for added safety and doesn’t require batteries.

I’m officially deemed “The Grandma with the best gifts”. My granddaughter thinks this is the greatest thing ever. I didn’t know you could make something like this, but it’s a music/audiobook player that doesn’t need WiFi to operate. It makes kids feel more grown up and independent without worrying about too much internet exposure too early.” – Francis

Give the little bookworms or music lovers in your life a treasure trove of stories and tunes, without worrying about them wandering onto the internet. 

Let them listen to e-books and groove to their favorite songs in Hi-Fi sound all without the need for Wi-Fi.

The battery life lasts hours and it’s super small and sturdy so even your tiny (and clumsy) rockstars can jam out on the go.

People always say how smart my 2-year old grandson is. His daycare teacher asked what we were doing at home because she catches him spelling his name. It’s because of the Montessori board, I’m sure of it. It makes kids learn fast.” – Frank

Give your grandkid a leg up early in life. 

The Custom Name Montessori Board blends play with problem-solving. It shapes their little brains as they fit letters from their name, numbers, and shapes inside a puzzle.  

The pieces are made of durable, soft wood, and you can engrave a custom name on the back, too, so they always know it was a special gift from Grandma or Grandpa.

Just pick your board style, enter their name, and we’ll do the rest!

Sometimes you have to put kids on the iPad. It’s not great, but it’s life in 2024. The LED tablet is a fantastic alternative. It holds my 4-year-old’s attention for way longer than an iPad and it protects her eyes and lets her create. She’s happy, I’m happy. ” – Sarah

Kids are enthralled with the LCD Tablet because they feel like they’re using an iPad, but they’re using their brains instead. The screen is non-reflective to protect their eyes, and one button swipes the board clean. 

It’s durable enough to handle the adventure and mishaps of childhood, and it keeps kids quiet on long flights and drives. Oh yeah… and no mess. 

You’ll do the kids and the parents a massive favor with this one.

I believe in giving young kids independence at a young age. They need toys that make them feel grown up but that parents know are safe. I got one for my son for Christmas and he hasn’t been this excited in a while. He shows off his pictures to anyone who comes over. I have to say the picture quality is way better than expected, too. ” – Jill
