Holiday Toy List 2024
The countdown is on to the holidays and we’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest, most fun toys for this year’s holiday toy list. If you know me, you know I’m wildly picky about the toys I choose in speech therapy! I want them to be engaging and fun, but I also love when they’re a toy that can be used for years and years.
Below you’ll find toys for each of the age groups throughout toddler and early elementary years! Use the ages as guidelines - for example, some toys in the 4-year-old range might be appropriate for younger or older kids.
Links are provided for your convenience and are Amazon affiliate links. However, don’t forget to check out your locally owned toy stores in the Austin area, as well (Terra Toys!).
