With the holidays coming up, this list of toy gift ideas is intended to serve as a catalog to guide you through some cutting-edge examples. The round-up boasts some exceptionally interesting innovations that produce contemporary interpretations of old classics.
While GoCube reimagines its iconic predecessor to give consumers the option of a techy puzzle, other companies are using digital innovations to create connected toys that will stimulate learning. Such educational toys focus on teaching kids useful skills like STEM or programming which, given the way the industry is developing, will prove to be a huge advantage later in life. Of course, for those who are nostalgic, the toy gift ideas list also brings some simple classics — like CAVALCADE's wooden rocking animals.
