If you already have a playroom full of toys, you may be wondering what to give your kids this year. I feel you! I rounded up our tried and true favorite toys so that you can feel good about the money you’re spending. These are toys that have stood the test of time and will keep your kids entertained for years to come!

First up are gifts for the kids who love sports and anything physically active. These things will get them off the couch playing outside, moving their bodies, and kickstarting creative play.

Gifts for Sporty Kids

• Indoor Basketball Hoop with Scoreboard: There are lots of indoor basketball hoops out there, but this one is definitely the best! It has electronic scoring with sound effects, a thick protective padding, and a shatterproof backboard.
• Formidable Swords: If you’re going to buy any swords for your kids, make sure you get these ones! We’ve had them for years and they still get so much use. They’re made from ultra high-quality foam and can be customized by switching out the handle and other parts. Kids of all ages LOVE them.
• Inflatable Gym Mat: The little gymnasts in your life need this inflatable mat! It’s the perfect gift to help them work on their aerials and round-offs.

• Roller Skates: Roller skates have made a big comeback (or maybe they never went away?) and these are such a cute classic pair. Your kids will love cruising the neighborhood or roller rink in them.
• Ball Set: You can never go wrong gifting your kids a ball set. This one comes complete with a ball for every occasion, including a kickball, football, soccer ball, and basketball. The net and ball pump are a genius addition — throw it over your shoulder and head to the park for an afternoon of fun.
