My brutally honest toddler tested Christmas 2025's hottest toys
"CONNETIX magnetic tiles lets the imagination run wild, coming with 102 pieces. They easily attach, are sturdy, light-weight and beautifully colored Price: $169 I had seen other children playing with CONNETIX magnetic tiles and always thought they would be perfect for Amelia. The moment we opened the box, her imagination ran wild. She built a dollhouse one minute and a castle the next. With squares, triangles, and a mix of bright colors, the possibilities for creations seem endless."
"As retailers hype what they claim are the hottest Christmas toys of 2025, I turned to a far more honest expert: my three-year-old daughter. My daughter, Amelia, tested each toy the way only a toddler can, without instructions, without expectations and with zero interest in whether it was supposed to be popular. I, however, scoured lists of must-have toys for this holiday season, meticulously reading reviews and watching product videos to see which ones were expected to top wish lists."
A three-year-old named Amelia tested a selection of 2025 holiday toys to evaluate which items sparked imagination and cooperative play. Toy selection prioritized fun, color, and potential to encourage creative, open-ended play. Research indicates simple, imagination-driven toys such as blocks, dolls, and pretend-play sets improve memory, self-control, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and language skills, while supporting social-emotional growth, neural development, and empathy more than screen time. Observed favorite toys invited building, role-play, and parent-child interaction. CONNETIX magnetic tiles (102 pieces, $169) facilitated construction play that stretched problem-solving and planning as Amelia created dollhouses and castles.
