Walmart has the Top Rated by Kids Toys for Kids of all Ages and Interests

Chloe’s World of Play and I recently attended Walmart’s Top-Rated by Kids Toy List event where we got to learn about and play with 48 of the most-wanted toys for kids. The Top-Rated by Kids Toy List is split into six (6) different toy trends for kids of all ages.

1. Famous Friends – This trend is inspired by the make-believe adventures of your child’s favorite famous characters, furry friends, heroes and role models from this year’s hottest cinema and TV shows. The toys in this category inspire kids to reenact the action from the big and small screens and create their own adventures.
2. Unboxing Toys –  If you thought surprise toys were going away, you guessed wrong! It seems like they’re here to stay and are bigger and better. This year, unboxing toys aim to inspire kids to find new ways to play with their toys and create unique adventures based on their interests.
3. Interactive Toys – Kids love toys that respond while playing. From toys that talk, hug, dance, and change color, these toys in this category aim to engage the imagination and creativity of kids as they express their personalities through play.
4. Outdoor Fun – Getting kids outside and off of the couch and their tablets, is huge! The toys in this category encourage kids to play in the great outdoors. Whether it’s driving, sliding, scooting or hovering, these toys at Walmart help kids find new ways to get around and play outside.
5. Aspirational Play – Whether preparing to take flight, go glamping, own a pet, or cook a gourmet meal, there are no limits to creativity and no boundaries on what kids can be when playing with these toys. 
6. Gaming – Whether it’s a rainy day or as kids get older, they want to enhance their digital adventures as clearly influenced by the ever-growing gaming community. The games in this category are for kids who want consoles and accessories to guarantee a superior gaming experience.

Realtree 24 Volt UTV ride on by Dynacraft

Yes, I’m 35 and thought that this was the best ride-on I’ve seen in a while. Had I not exceeded the weight limit, trust me, I would have ridden on it like these two young ladies. They had a blast cruising through the show floor in this UTV. It has a working MP3 player and headlights.

Hover-1 Hoverboard and Kart Combo (*Walmart exclusive)

If hoverboards aren’t your thing, and you’d prefer to stand, then the Hoverboard and Kart Combo might be for you. It’s a fun ride and can hold up to 220 lbs.

Hover-1 Maverick Hoverboard (*Walmart exclusive)

The Hover-1 Maverick Hoverboard is a Walmart exclusive product that would be great for fearless older kids who love an adrenaline rush and speed.

Aspirational Play

Barbie Dreamplane

There’s something about Barbie and Barbie products that draw kids in. My daughter wouldn’t leave the Barbie Dreamplane alone. It doubles as a plane and playset and seats a pilot and two passengers. Talk about traveling in-style. My daughter immediately stated this is going on her Christmas Wishlist. Thankfully, she was able to walk home with one and hasn’t put it down since.

Barbie Cake Decorating Playset

It seems wishlists aren’t complete without Barbie. The Barbie Cake Decorating Playset was another favorite of my daughter and other little girls in attendance. They loved being able to design and make cakes from dough, and then having Barbie serve it to her friends.

Kindi Kids Snack Time Friends Doll

Kindi Kids Snack Time Friends dolls are part of the Rainbow Kindi World, which can be found on YouTube. They’re a group of friends, Marsha Mellow, Jessicake, Peppa-Mint, and Donatina who are fun and as sweet as they sound.
