Hot Holiday Toys at Texas Today

Kids learn so many new skills when they follow instructions and use their hands to put toys and sets together, take them apart and use their pretend play and social skills to interact with them. Finding great games and toys that offer play value and educational opportunities makes them hot holiday toy picks for kids, especially when they aren’t too expensive. Here are some of my favorite games, activities and STEM holiday toys that I shared on Texas Today.

Game of Things – Schitts Creek

This family game is perfect for Schitts Creek fans, but if you haven’t seen the show, you can consider the Game of Things original edition. Players write down answers to questions, and the reader of the card will award points to those who they think have the best answer. No right or wrong answers, just silly fun.

Pinxies Family Treehouse

Follow the instructions to connect the pieces which also attach to sturdy cardboard in order to create a magical pretend play treehouse. This set can be taken apart and put back together.

Robo-Max Tyrannosaurus Rex

Can you believe this dinosaur comes flat packed? Use the screwdriver to insert over 100 different screws to assemble this roaring, eye-blinking, fully articulating Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur. Great opportunity for family collaboration. At only $60, it takes 4-5 hours to put together, so there is also a lot of play value for those with some patience and persistence.
