From LEGO waterpark sets to tech-focused STEM kits, this list of November 2020 toy trends shows all the ways kids are keeping busy this season.
Winter is quickly approaching, and with less time available to spend outdoors, parents are tasked with finding entertaining and creative ways to keeping their little ones occupied. Whether more traditional, or modern, the toys on this list offer something for everyone. Those hoping to keep screen time to a minimum might be drawn to Crayola's 'Paper Flower Science Kit,' which is both hands-on and educational. Meanwhile, more tech-driven children might enjoy the KidiZoom Creator Cam, which is providing kids with a safe way to create HD videos. The camera kit offers the ability to produce with special effects and more.
