They’ll escape into a world of imagination with these must-have toys made for endless fun.
After months of homeschooling, cancelled playdates and being cooped up inside, there’s no doubt that kids (and parents) are in need of a well-deserved break. Whether you’ve got tiny tots or tweens at home, toys that spark their curiosity and guarantee hours of fun are sure to brighten their day. Plus if you can nab yourself some “me-time” in the process, all the better. From games and scooters to plush toys and LEGO, we asked the kids of David Jones team members what their favourite kid’s toys are and why.
Fun and games
Warmer weather calls for full days of play out in the sunshine. Games made for multiple players are ideal for long-overdue catch-ups with friends at the beach or park, or in the backyard. They’ll love digging through sand and leaves with the Wonder Wheels trucks, and playing Twister, Uno and all the classics with their best friends.
“I love Operation Pet Scan because it’s got a dog on it and you can pull stuff out of it, and Monster Slap because it’s slimy and I love slime!”
– Ted, 5 years
“The Wonder Wheels Take-Apart Crane Truck has kept Hugh busy for hours, and I like to think it helps to develop his motor skills too.”
– Alix, mum of Hugh, 3 years
New treasures
Let their imagination soar with classic kid’s toys made to inspire creativity. These treasures are set to become all-time favourites that they’ll cherish for years to come. Think timeless LEGO sets that they’ll want to keep on display and versatile scooters that will grow with them.
“I like the Skip Hop Ride On because I can go fast.”
– Meera, 3 years
“My favourite toy to play with is LEGO because I love all the cool things you can build with the pieces. My favourite LEGO build was a 4-story mansion with a slide and skatepark.”
– Ziggy, 9 years
and Frozen 2 Elsa Ice Queen Crown.

If you have youngsters at home, it’s likely that Elsa and Barbie feel like members of your family. Delight your little ones with toys that invite them to play make-believe with their favourite characters.

– Kara, 7 years
Baby love
