SILLY SLIME SURPRISE
Kids are obsessed with goo, and this purse combines that with another hot
trend — blinded toys! It has over 35 mystery goodies, including slime and makeup.
Lab Results The brand also offers a similar blinded slime toy with a doll instead
of a purse, Rainbow Surprise Dolls ($55). Kids will be excited to discover which
of the four secret dolls they get, plus all the fun treats hidden in the packaging.

UNDER-THE-SEA
SALON
This vanity has shell earrings,
a tiara and even a version of
Ariel’s fork hairbrush!
Lab Results Whether little ones liked
pretending to glam up or just loved The
Little Mermaid, this was a crowd-pleaser.
Jakks Pacific Ariel
Music and Lights Vanity, $60

MONSTER TRUCK
Get ready for adventure with this not-
so-small version of the famous Grave
Digger truck (it’s an exact 1:10 replica!).
Lab Results It left kids and adults in
awe when it easily drove over obstacles
big and small — even brave volunteers!

CUTE CODING
ROBOT
Kids will have so much fun controlling
their new friend’s movements with
easy-to-press buttons that they’ll have
no idea they’re practicing colors,
letters and even early math!
Lab Results Older kids liked using
the “secret code” mode best!

TODDLER TABLET
This activity center brings
physical and digital play together to
make learning fun. Your tablet’s camera
sees what you’re doing on the mat (like
changing a character’s outfit to master
colors), then animates it onscreen.
Lab Results As fans of the original
Osmo, we love that this 2. 0 version is
for younger kids. It’s great for teaching
problem-solving and early literacy.
Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit, $80

SUPERHERO SPEEDSTER
Protect Gotham City with this tricked-out Batmobile. Drive it with
the remote and then, when the pretend bad guys strike, send it into battle mode.
It’ll open out to nearly double its original size with lights, sounds and more.
Lab Results Kids go crazy for anything Batman-related, and the transformation
of this toy was seriously impressive to little ones of all ages — even GH pros
were wowed by the cool factor and how seamlessly it worked.

LIFELIKE
BABY DOLL
This doll is up for a giggly game
of peekaboo or a warm bottle.
And like a real baby, she learns as
you play with her!
Lab Results We tested the toy
when it first came out in 2017 , and
this updated version is even
better. She looks more like an
actual newborn, and her sounds and
movements are extra realistic.
Spin Master Luvabella
Newborn, $60

TEDDY BEAR
Meet your new BFF, a cuddly
teddy who loves giving hugs! Cubby
responds to sound and touch with
built-in sensors and can even sing
a lullaby when it’s time for bed.
Lab Results Kids couldn’t get over
all his reactions (over 100 motions
and sounds!). They laughed the most
at his silly honey-eating noises!
Hasbro FurReal
Cubby the Curious Bear, $ 100
