Best Pretend Play Toy Gifts

Keep reading for 15 awesome pretend play toys that will keep your kids busy for hours!

I don’t know about you, but I get really nostalgic around the holidays remembering all the old toys we used to have. It’s not the memory of actually receiving the toy but the hours and hours of playing over the years.

Playing with friends, with cousins, or just at home. As a child of the ’80s, we had some pretty cool toys so I was thrilled to see that some of them you can find right on Amazon!

I loved pretend play when I was a kid, and luckily, my kids love it too!! So if you are looking to find the perfect gift for the toddler or preschooler in your life, check out these classics!
