When you’re a kid, presents are pretty much the best thing ever. As an adult, finding gifts for preschoolers comes with a little more thought. Ideally, it's a toy that entrances, teaches, and grows with kids, sticking around in the playroom for a while. All while keeping your budget in mind!

Luckily, we have tried pretty much every toy for every kind of kid with every interest under the sun. These are the toys that Mommy Poppins writers and editors can't get enough of with our own kids, and that we turn to when giving gifts.
