Each year, the toy market presents exciting new trends. But the toys that truly stand out are the ones that bring together fun, education, and safety. After looking at 2024 sales data, listening to real parent feedback, and reviewing evaluations from child education experts, I have narrowed down the list to five toys you can confidently buy this year. These toys not only make kids happy, but they also support their development and keep them engaged for much longer than the “one-day wonder” toys.
Here are the top five picks from Chengji, the top toy supplier, complete with features, benefits, and tips on where to buy them.
My World Magnetic Block Building Blocks
Magnetic block sets are surging in popularity because they combine the open-ended fun of traditional building toys with the STEM learning appeal of magnets. The “My World” series allows children to build houses, towers, robots, and vehicles by snapping magnetic tiles together. They encourage creativity, spatial awareness, and early engineering skills while ensuring safety with ABS material.
