Items that encourage active play—like balls, ride-on toys, or child-sized outdoor equipment—help burn off energy and develop motor skills.

For group settings like preschool or daycare, sharing-friendly games and portable activities are always a hit, making it easy for kids to connect with friends and siblings.
