The Edit: All I Want For Christmas
While the idea of a whimpering puppy under the tree is adorbs, it’s not really practical. Neither is the army of real-life GI-Joes. Be a smart Santa this year with our “All I Want for Christmas” list, featuring the best in toys for our little ones on the Island.
Edible Finger Paint might be a unisex gift, but we’re sure you’ll get some incredibly cute images when your toddler gets creative with them! Plus, they’re, you know, edible – so no worries about ingesting toxic stuff by accident. Or you can go with a Build-A-Robot (good for kids 2 years and up) which helps them to learn about different emotions.
All kids love a splashing good time, and this Aquaplay canal system makes a really awesome gift. If he/she has similar play sets, like a parking garage or a fire station, add these super-cute Stacking Emergency Vehicles to his collection. They’re plenty fun on their own too ‘cause they can be taken apart and rebuilt as many times as your littlie wants.
If you’re looking for a gift that is longer lasting, we highly recommend First Bike (yep, cycling is an essential life skill!) It’s the perfect training bike for kids aged 2-5 years old to gain confidence and independence while rolling down the lane.
Animal fans love Animal Upon Animal, a (rather challenging) stacking game that depends on fine motor skills, memory, and the knowledge of animal sounds. The best part? This is a game for the whole family as well.
Avid, older fans (9-14 years old) of LEGO and Star Wars will be absolutely ecstatic to receive this LEGO Star Wars collaboration, featuring Anakin and Sebulba’s Pod racers. Come on now, this is actually a gift geared for hours of bonding time with dad too!
How can we forget the superhero man-doll? Sorry, we meant “action figure”. Our top pick? Sonic Blasting Iron Man (sorry Spiderman, Wolverine, and The Hulk!) in the name of fun fun fun.
Every t(w)eenage’s bucket list has at least one video game in it, so gift your little one with the good, clean fun of games like these top ten best nonviolent videogames for teens and tweens, all found in Singapore. For the younger set, we recommend the spankin’ new Nintendo 2DS.
