Top 30 Toy Ideas in May

From Cake-Making Coding Games to AI Edutainment Systems

— June 3, 2020 — Life-Stages
With COVID-19 forcing many families to turn to online learning and distance education, the May 2020 toy trends reveal a boom in educational toys for kids.

Though coding-oriented games have been popular for quite some time, there are some innovative new options on the market. For instance, Code a Cake is a clever new game that likens coding to the process of building a cake. Another example is Cody Block, which is a screen-free coding toy that's specially designed for children between the ages of three and nine.

Of course, there are plenty of educational toys that don't revolve around coding. As the May 2020 toy trends reveal, products like the Animal Island Learning Adventure (AILA) Sit & Play platform use artificial intelligence to support other forms of learning and cognitive development.
