Children's tea parties have been going strong since at least the Victorian era, so why stop now? Let your little one host their own tea for two with guests Rapunzel and Pascal the frog for the bargain basement price of just $19.99!

Transformers, you know, those robots in disguise, can be hours of fun for kids. So why not triple the enjoyment with this Transformers 3-pack. That's right, three Transformers for, frankly, the price of one is what this great Costco deal will get you.

For little sous chefs in the making, there's no better gift than a toy kitchen. But lawd have mercy, those things can get pricey. Not so much at Costco, however. The discount giant has a kid's kitchen for just $119.99. A steal if ever we saw one. Best purchase this now to give yourself plenty of time to build it.

Who would have guessed that it would Anna Kendrick that would convince our kids to love some of our favorite tunes? The actress has done just that twice now with her Trolls movies and if your kid can't get enough of those songs, give them this Poppy sound coin bank. Kids need only insert a coin to hear Poppy talk in English or Spanish, then they can hit a button to hear her belt out "Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun." How's that for encouraging them to save their pennies?

American Girl Doll accessories were expensive when I was a kid and it appears not much has changed. Which makes this Costco deal all the more exceptional For $74.99 get your kiddo this garden gear pack which includes an outdoor outfit, picnic, and jeep with a radio that plays songs. Don't remember Molly having one of those.

There's something magical about watching a child tip-toe into the living room on Christmas morning and be blown away by something under the tree. It could be a bike or a scooter or, perhaps, this epic Kidkraft Disney Princess Magnificent Dreams Castle Dollhouse. The three-story, five room house is nicer than some I've seen on MTV Cribs, but at a fraction of the cost.

One of the best investments I made after my son was born was a playmat. Since we basically lived in our living room for the first year, it was a great tool to let him roll around, spit up, explore, do tummy time, and basically have fun and learn. Plus, I could easily wash it when an explodo diaper took place. Every parent should have a great playmat and this Eckhert Kids Double Sided Play Mat is a deal. Waterproof and eco-friendly, it's also double sided so you can flip it when you don't have time to deep clean it.

I speak from experience when I say this item was the hit of the holiday season last year in my household. It's a Hover Star 2.0 Motion Controlled UFO and truly it's a great gift for everyone, not just kids. It operates via hand command so you can pass it around your living room like a volleyball and its easy enough to use that a baby or Grandma can get in on the fun.

If you want to give your child a leg up on learning to ride a bike, gift them a balance bike like this Royal Baby Dino Balance Bike. Basically, it allows children to get familiar with balancing themselves while using their feet to push it. Then, when it's time to transition to a real bike, you can skip the training wheels and they'll be ready to roll. (I swear, it worked perfectly for my son who learned to ride his big boy bike last spring.)

Have a tot that loves Mickey and Minnie? Give them this darling Disney Lights N’ Sounds Minnie Mouse Activity Plane. As they scoot around on it, the propellers light up and rotate and plays fun sounds to go with the action.

If you're handy and feeling exceptionally generous, Costco is the place to go to get a deal on backyard playground equipment. They have a variety of options for sale, but the Cedar Summit by KidKraft Hilltop Playset is one of their most epic sets complete with three slides, a fireman pole, swing, and a third story crow's nest with a play telescope!

For some children, they can never have enough trucks. But if you want to give them one that's a little more unique than, say, just another digger or dozer, give them this jolly little construction truck named Phillip. As he rolls, his face animates. He can also make 14 different sounds and he has a workshop hidden under his truck bed.

If you have a child who can name cars like some kids name Sesame Street characters, a double back of to scale models of a Mustang and a Shelby GT is sure to please. (Grandpa might like this gift just as much.)

Three words: faux flight jacket. For little aviators in training, this retro pilot uniform is perfect. They can pretend their soaring in the skies with its goggles and boot covers and even take stock of their course with the play compass.

Holy snowflakes, Batman! This Batmobile and action figure is less than $30! Even better? Batman is 12 inches tall so you, parents, you won't step on him in the middle of the night. Or at least you'll be less likely too. Toys change, but Batman is forever.

This game goes by many names, but the idea is the same: see how long you can keep it stacked before it falls apart. Easy for even the littlest player to understand, this is holiday family fun at its best.
