At this year's Toy Fair in New York City, we totally got in touch with our inner children as we were getting sneak peeks of the toys coming to shelves this year. Between Legos, sports toys, RC vehicles, and STEM toys, we were swooning over the variety of exciting things our kiddos will get to play with in the coming months (and to be honest, we might just have to buy a few we liked to be able to play with them ourselves).

Read through for the 20 toys that stood out to us, which are no doubt going to be some of your child's new favorites.

Project Mc2 Circuit Beats

Quite possibly the coolest gadget your child will ever play with, Project Mc2 Circuit Beats allows them to make music out of household objects. They simply hook up the circuit board to anything they want to use as an "instrument," then choose from five different music sounds to play. They'll be amazed when they learn they can play guitar with a banana!

Little Live Pets Lil' Puppy

Lil' Puppy moves and sounds just like a real puppy. He's light and soft for snuggling with and interacts with your child in a way that seems like they have a real-life puppy to care for and love (which will help you put off getting them an actual puppy before they're ready — win).

Hasbro Star Wars InteracTech Stormtrooper

More than just a 12-inch figurine, Hasbro's Star Wars InteracTech Stormtrooper actually reacts to movement with lights and sounds thanks to built-in motion sensors (plus, he actually talks to tots using the 70 sound effects embedded in him!). And just wait to see what happens when your child puts a blaster in his hands — that's when an Imperial insignia lights up on his chest and he starts making blaster sounds! This is truly one of the coolest toys we saw at the event.

President and Vice President Barbie

President and Vice President Barbie

Quite possibly the most stylish Barbies to date, President Barbie is decked out in red, white, and blue, and her right-hand woman, Vice President Barbie, is in an adorable yellow peplum top — with fashion like that, they're totally ready to run the country with your kiddo!

Selfie Mic

Coming this fall (and retailing for $20), your little karaoke star who loves taking selfies can do both at the same time with the Selfie Mic. All they have to do is slide their phone into the brackets (like a selfie stick), log into the app to pick a song, and grab the microphone to start singing — and just like in Rock Band, the app will show your kiddos how many notes in the song they hit just right.

08
Beat Bo Mat

Beat Bo is back and better than ever. He now comes on a fun play mat that grows with your child and teaches shapes, numbers, colors, letters, and more — all while dancing and singing just like the original!
