2020 Gift Guides | Top Gifts for Little Kids (0-4 years)
Fisher Price Little People Launch & Loop Raceway, $44.99
I have never met a little kid who doesn’t like rolling things with wheels down ramps. This one will occupy them for hours! Use the 25% off any one toy Circle offer too.
Baby Alive Baby Grows Up Sweet, $54.99
The Baby Alive dolls are a big hit every holiday season, and this one actually “grows.”
Paw Patrol Dino Rescue Headquarters Playset, $49.99
Paw Patrol is another love of many kids, and if you already have some of the pup action figures, this would be a great addition for more play opportunities.
Juicy Bumbles Soft Sole Leather Shoes, $12.99
Babies don’t really need that much to be entertained, so if you’re buying for a new or soon-to-be walker, consider getting them a pair of soft soled shoes!
Little Tikes Go and Grow Rollin’ Giraffe Ride-On, $29.99
This fun riding toy will grow with the little one you’re buying for.
QZM Counting Shape Stacker, $18.49
This is a great puzzle to teach shapes, numbers and size because there’s only one way to do it! Just make sure the little kid you’re buying for is old enough not to swallow the pieces.
LESONG Baby Blocks, $16.99
These locks are good for building or for chewing on, if you’re looking for a gift for a younger baby.

Hitting and pounding—encourage good ways to do those things with this fun toy.

Radio Flyer Balance Bike, $47.71
Balance bikes have been a popular gift for several years, and there’s a reason: They encourage balancing before a child has to try to pedal. Once they outgrow the balance bike, most kids are ready to ride a regular bike without training wheels!
