The Ultimate 2025 Holiday Gift Guide: Toys That Inspire Learning and Fun!
Infant toys
The holiday season is around the corner and we want to make sure you have the perfect gift for the children in your life! We have taken the guesswork out of gift giving by letting our team of play experts choose the perfect gifts for children of every age.
Our team has picked unique toys your children will love this year and for many years to come! We want to make sure you are getting a toy that is bound to be the new favourite and the toy they will continue to play with as they grow and develop. Too often we find children LOVE toys for a few days (maybe even just a few hours) and then are on to the next. Let’s skip that. We know the best gifts for children must be age-appropriate, play based, safe, inspire creativity and learning. When children have the perfect toys that fits their interests or cultivates a new skill they will want to play everyday!
The toys on this list are more than just a great gift. They all were hand picked by our in-house play expert who picked them with the intent to inspire your children’s imaginations, help develop early learning skills, and discover their passions because at Scholar’s Choice we believe children deserve the opportunity to achieve their hopes & dreams through play!
No matter the age of your child from toddlers to 10 years old we have the top toy, activities, games, science experiments and crafts that kids will love! Here are the best gifts for kids listed from youngest to eldest:
Squishy building? Yes, please! The Jelly Blox Creative Building Kit turns classic bricks into stretchy, twisty, sensory fun that’s perfect for little makers.
