Budget Friendly Toys that Last
Budget a little tight this holiday season? You’re not alone! With recovery from the nation’s worst financial meltdown since the great depression taking longer than expected, families are still pinching every penny this holiday. Luckily, spending an arm and a leg isn’t necessary to give your kids the best Christmas ever. In fact, we’ve got an entire selection of affordable games, toys, and activities your little one will love!
Here are our top five favorite gifts for $30 and under.
See and Spell Toy by Melissa and Doug – This is perfect for little tykes learning their alphabet and new words. With 10 two sided spelling boards and 70 wooden letters, there are nearly endless combinations to be explored. Illustrations are included to help reinforce learning and the store case makes clean up a snap. This is one of our favorites because not only will your kids find it entertaining, but it’s also educational and perfect for small children.
Magnetic Animal Habitats Toy by Melissa and Doug – Kids love making up games and playing pretend, and this game allows them to do so using their favorite animal friends as the focal point. Three habitats and 26 animals will allow your child to match creatures to their homes, while having fun making up new stories and scenarios using each piece as a character. Plus, they come with a carrying case making this item great for trips long and short.
Kids Tool Set by Green Toys – This is one of our favorite because it’s not only inexpensive and entertaining, but it’s environmentally friendly too! Each piece is made from recycled milk jugs, so you can feel good about your purchase while your kids have a blast building pretend houses and helping dad around the house. Comes with everything kids need: Phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, hammer saw, wrench, pliers, 2 nails, 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and 2 two hole connectors.
Deluxe Cooking Toy Set by Alex Toys – Higher quality than your typical play cookware set, and still affordable enough to avoid breaking the bank. Cookware sets are perfect for every age group; from toddlers who want to help Mommy or Daddy in the kitchen, to school aged kids who love to play house. This set is made from sturdy stainless steel to grow with your child. Comes with a teapot with lid, stock pot with lid, frying pan, colander, wooden spoon, spatula, whisk, pasta spoon, slotted spoon, and oven mitt.
Mailbox Fill and Spill by Melissa and Doug – This is one of our faves because it’s soft and plush, making it great for young toddlers. Allows kids to play pretend as they deliver the mail each day, and helps them to recognize important dates and events because it comes with a happy birthday bear, a soft valentine, and a postcard.
