Summer is here, which means the sun is blazing and the kids are home, probably spending more time indoors than usual thanks to the heat. If you want to help them get outside, cool down, and stay entertained, enlist some help from the hottest toys of summer 2023 (a title they earned from TTPM, a.k.a. Toys, Tots, Pets & More, a panel of expert toy reviewers). TTPM reviews countless toys each year to determine which ones kids will enjoy most each season. Their spring 2023 list featured some real winners, like the newest CoComelon Squishmallow and some specialty scented slimes, so you can count on them to pick out some seriously awesome summer toys.
When TTPM chooses hot toys, they select products that are new, on-trend, well-made, easy to purchase, and above all else, fun. How else are they supposed to compete with TVs and tablets? “Keeping kids engaged over summer break doesn’t have to be screens, screens, screens,” says Laurie Leahey, senior editor at TTPM. “There are lots of fun toys that get kids playing outside and being active (bonus points if it involves water on a hot day), using their imaginations to craft something unique, or interacting with family members for bonding time.”
So, if you’re in the market for something new to do with your kids while school’s out, these top 10 summer toys are here to help.
Which toys will you pick up for the summertime? There are so many options for screen-free toys and entertainment out there right now.
