Good toys have staying power; they engage. They help build attention spans, not fragment them. A good toy does not offer answers; it stimulates questions and presents problems for solving.

So what are the most popular toys for kids for a 2 year old, 4 year old, 8 year old or another age range? To be honest it is a difficult task to find out as popularity changes and toys develops rapidly. We continue to update our Toys by age section, constantly checking reviews and sales volume together with a lot of other factors to provide you with some good gifts suggestions for kids.
