Most of these toys can be enjoyed by kids of all ages (including kids at heart) who might be stopping by for the holidays. From crafts to fun games, they're perfect gift ideas.



Loopdedoo DIY Friendship Bracelet Maker Kit. Keep tweens busy with a craft that will keep them occupied for hours. While you might not remember bracelet-making to be the easiest craft you did growing up, this kit (both the deluxe and original version) makes it a breeze, according to Oppenheim. It comes with several different colorful skeins that they can use to create bright accessories with, plus you can always pick up additional styles at the craft store.



Mindware Paint Your Own Porcelain Ornaments Kit. Ornaments made by little kids are a classic family keepsake. This kit comes with six porcelain ornaments in shapes like stars and wreaths, a paintbrush, ribbon, 12 paints and an instruction guide for mixing paints.



EeBoo Best Pals' Diner Pretend Play Set. Great for preschoolers who love pretend play, this diner set has all the props they need to take their family's orders. It includes menus, a guest check, play money, food and drinks. It's an Oppenheim Blue Chip award winner, which is given to classic toys that are still very much loved today.



HedBanz Harry Potter Party Game For Kids. Muggles, witches and wizards alike are sure to get a kick out of this fun game. They can put their magical memory to the test as they attempt to answer "yes" or "no" questions about the Wizarding World while they represent their respective houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.



Hands Full! Remember Bop-It and Twister? Consider this handheld game a fusion of those classics. As few as two or up to four players can get in on the fun at once, but they must listen carefully so they don't miss the challenging commands that require them to place their hand on a certain color, stand on one foot and more.


LEGO Friends Heartlake City Movie Theater. You can never go wrong with LEGO. Stimulate their minds and encourage them to think creatively with this 451-piece set. Once it's constructed, they'll have a vintage-inspired movie theater set that they can use to film their own motion pictures using the included figures and accessories.


Lewo 1000-Piece Dominoes Set. Dominoes, though they take a while to set up, are fun to knock down. Little ones can get a kick out of watching the bright colors collide and can even create obstacles for the 1,000 pieces using the included ramp and bell.
