1 An Inflatable Dome: FAO Schwarz Inflatable Dome Princess Toy Tent
The FAO Schwarz Inflatable Dome Princess Toy Tent ($30) will fully inflate in under 30 seconds so that kids can get straight to playing. The tent's big enough for parties and sleepovers and is sure to be a crowd favorite. It features no floor, so it's easy to get in and out of.
2 For Yahtzee Fans: Yahtzee Frenzy Dice and Card Game
If your family loves Yahtzee, try out this Yahtzee Frenzy Dice and Card Game ($15). The game is great for kids of all ages and is a faster take on the original Yahtzee game. It combines cards and dice for a race-to-roll concept that's super fun.
3 For Little Photographers: VTech KidiZoom PrintCam
If your child is fascinated with taking pictures on your iPhone, this VTech KidiZoom PrintCam ($35, originally $44) is a great option. The camera takes photos and selfies using a colorful screen and even prints up to 80 photos in black and white with its included paper. The photos can be turned into drawings too, so they can color them in.
4 A Robot Toy: Allcele Girls Robot Toys
Who said robots can't be pink? The Allcele Girls Robot Toys ($31) is so adorable to look at with big LED eyes that light up and can even blink upon command. The robot talks in its own language and can sing three songs. Move it forward, backward, left, and right with its controller. It's so small that it can fit on top of a desk — making it extra cute.
5 For Singing: Machine Karaoke System
If your kid loves to sing in the mirror or in the shower, they'll have a blast with this Singing Machine Karaoke System ($75). The system features Bluetooth, a CD player, and LED disco lights that allow them to throw their very own concert — it even has an echo control for voice effects.
6 A Stress Toy: Pop Ball It Fidget Toys
Whether they're 3 months old or full-blown preteen, the Pop Ball It Fidget Toys ($9, originally $22) are a great gift. Not only are they fun to play with, but they're a great distraction if they're about to take a test or give a presentation. We love their colorful designs and the popping noises made when you push in their bubbles.
7 For Their Sneakers: Sticker Chic Butterfly Bling Shoe Stickers
If they enjoy being creative, pick them up these Sticker Chic Butterfly Bling Shoe Stickers ($15). The stickers are so fun to play with and are great for sleepovers, birthday parties, or simply when they get bored.

8 A Cute Pet: What the Fluff Pupper-Fluff Interactive Pet
The What the Fluff Pupper-Fluff Interactive Pet ($35) makes over 100 sounds and interactions so that its owner truly feels like they have a pet. It even purrs and giggles to create its own personality. You can tickle her, scare away hiccups, and more. It's the perfect gift for 5-year-olds and up.
9 A Classic: Barbie Extra Doll #3 in Pink Fluffy Coat With Pet Unicorn-Pig
If they love playing with Barbie dolls, pick them up this Barbie Extra Doll #3 in Pink Fluffy Coat With Pet Unicorn-Pig ($17, originally $25). The doll has a pink fluffy coat along with 15 accessories that give this doll an "extra" feel. We love her long crimped hair and pig pet companion.
10 A Musical Doll: CoComelon Roto Plush Bedtime JJ Doll
The CoComelon Roto Plush Bedtime JJ Doll ($18) is inspired by the CoComelon YouTube series and brings the series' famous nursery rhymes to life. One squeeze of JJ's tummy and he will play one of his seven sounds and phrases. Kids 18 months and up will love cuddling up with this toy.
