Hottest Toys for Christmas {2016 Holiday Gift Guide}

Children love to pretend. But nothing is as exciting to them as watching their toys hop, jump, and move in a realistic manner, feeding their imaginations with fuel that only exists in that world of pretend where kids only live for a few short years before they grow.

If you are looking for a toy that will fit right into that world of pretend for your little ones this Christmas, look no further than Red Planet Toys. Red Planet Toys offers a cute and colorful little frog they call Little Live Pets Li’l Frog which can be accessorized with its own Little Live Pets Li’l Frog Lilypad which is sold separately.

The lilypad comes in the Li’l Frog Tank, and, upon removing the lid, you simply place the lilypad in water and watch as Li’l Frog begins to hop, exactly like a real frog! Even more excitement will thrill your kids when Li’l Frog actually jumps into the water and begins to swim around! There are several different Little Live Pets Li’l Frogs to choose from, or, of course, they can all be collected and played with together. Watch them hop across whatever surface they are placed upon, and then let them go for a hop across their lilypads and into the water. Just like a real frog, they sense the water and automatically begin to swim. Little Live Pets Li’l Frog Lilypad is recommended for ages five and up, and does run on batteries which are included.

Red Planet Toys has “popped” out a new playset that will provide every little girl with hours of creative fun and make believe. The Shopkins Poppit S1 Ballet Collection Activity Pack comes with seven little poppit molds shaped like miniature poppit characters, as well as clay in four different colors.

It also includes a dropper with pieces all ready to be decorated, along with sprinkles, beads, and colorful gems. For poppit character creations, Shopkins eyes come as part of the set to give their faces a more realistic poppit look. In addition to molding little poppit creations, the children can use the clay to form tiny mini cakes, little puppies, and other tiny paraphernalia to add even more fun to their playtime. Nothing will thrill them more than constructing their own little play town that will fit into that world of pretend just like the piece of a puzzle.

The Poppit S1 Pop N Display Bakery Playset is another fun way to create treats with clay that look just like the real thing on a bakery shelf!

Included with this set is a Popper poppit, a Popper Tool, a Dropper, and a texture stamp. Kids can simply pop the clay out of their popper poppit to make all types of tiny creations perfectly fit for a bakery. The set also comes with bakery shelves for displaying the colorfully shaped tidbits that will be delightfully decorated by the children with sprinkles and beads. There are twelve poppit molds with which little ones can create their favorite shaped cupcakes, puppies, and more, as well as four containers of clay, each a different color. Poppit S1 Pop N Display Bakery Playset is just the right gift for the budding baker! 

Betty Spaghetty is here for the holiday season to excite little girls with her fashion sense. Betty Spaghetty Mix and Match Fashion Doll – Build-A-Zoey is a fashionista who loves her clothes to be mixed and matched and loves it even more when young girls experiment with her hair by fixing it in a hundred different ways!

Zoey is a bendable doll who leans and twists and bends all different which ways, and she comes with 21 pieces of mix and match accessories. Also included with Zoey is a doll stand and an array of hair accessories with which to style her long, long hair. Other Betty Spaghetty Mix and Match Fashion Dolls can be purchased separately.
