I love sharing “gift guides” because I think they are so fun to see and get great ideas. I have done some themed adventure kid and travel kids lists of things we love but this list is the “toys” we have that are used and loved the most. Some of these we have had since the kids were just toddlers so I would say this list works for “little kids” ages 1-8 years old.

We have used and loved these digital cameras forever. They can make a hike more fun for a reluctant kiddo or a fun thing to do with their hands while traveling and you don’t want them touching everything.

We have had our little trampoline for over three years and it’s still in great shape! We keep ours in the basement and it’s been great for days we can’t get outside and have tons of energy to burn.

The kids love their Razor Scooters! The box says for 8+ but Emmy started using hers at 4 and Cannon at 6 and they have been doing great!

These digital watches have been loved for the last few years and they are still working great.

We started our collection of Magnetic Tiles when Cannon was two and they are by far our kids’ most played with toy. We have added to our collection over the years and they are great quality!

Cannon has loved having his own Kayak for the last couple years and Emmy is up for getting her own this summer. Its been so fun out paddling as a family.

Woom bikes are my absolute favorite kids bike. It’s a little pricey compared to others but they also have great resale value (buying used is always a great idea!)

The iconic IKEA play kitchen gets used everyday when we are home. We have added on this “refrigerator” that matches well after we painted it white. I love decorating it for the holidays for the kids!

We bought a Kids Roller Coaster for Cannon’s second Christmas (he was 18 months) and our kids have loved it since then. When other littles come over they always want to play with it. I am sad that my kids will likely outgrown it very soon but it’s been a favorite here for years!

And lastly our trusty Fire Tablets. We are now on our second set of these for the kids, they have worked for us during the little years. They have been great to use with learning apps, long car rides and for when the airplane doesn’t have screens built in.

Please share any kids’ favorites, especially for those middles ages that we are entering soon!
