There are dozens of great toys for holiday gift-giving this year so if you have a little on your list you’ll have plenty to choose from! To help you narrow down your choices, I’ve selected my top 11 big kid toys for kids 4-6 years old.
I’m big on balance – a good mix of fun, education, reading, and creativity. You’ll find all those categories on my list in the form of STEM toys, action figures, entertainment-inspired options, and crafting sets.

I’ve been thankful to be part of Hasbro’s #PlayLikeHasbro team for awhile now. It’s fun to get to know the hot new Hasbro toys as they are coming out, and my daughter loves testing out the toys they send for us to enjoy.
Most recently we received three new Hasbro toys: My Little Pony Explore Equestria Friendship Express Train with Princess Twilight Sparkle, Transformers: Robots in Disguise Power Surge Optimus Prime, and the Disney Elena of Avalor & Princess Isabel Dolls. Continue reading »
I really love to watch Bubbles build. It’s interesting to me how much pure creativity she has without any outside guidance. One minute she’s building a city for her My Little Ponies, the next it’s a castle for her Disney princesses, and after that she’s building the tallest tower she can.

Bubbles has been asking to get a dog for about a year now. Being a dog person myself – my parents got a puppy a few weeks before I came home with them and from then until I graduated college, we almost always had a dog. So selling me on the merits of a ball of fur is not all that hard.
We probably will get one this spring or summer. I think Bubbles is at a good age to be able to treat a puppy gently and it will be good for her to learn the responsibility of feeding, walking, cleaning up after. But I am not interested in potty training a dog in the cold of winter, ya know? Continue reading »
