I have a few kids of both genders between the ages of 3-8. I am moving and gave away most of their old toys which they grew out of.

I’ve kept magnatiles, Lego for my Lego obsessed son, and dress up and Barbie’s for my little daughter.

I gave away a train set, Cars, lots of animals, marble run, playmobil, Lincoln logs - too many random pieces, too many stuffed animals, to many random bits and pieces

My kids like crafting so I’m definitely hoping to put together a craft cart plus new playdoh

Id love a kitchen set for my younger ones but I hate little pieces that get lost and end up in the most random places of the house.

They like games like matching and age appropriate puzzles- any good recommendations?

What are your kids favorite toys and games?

Cars, mentchies and little animals plus doll house furniture is played with tons. They use whatever building toys we have and create houses and zoos etc.
The kitchen and food and dress up are also very popular.
The game trouble is good for that age.

Toys and games have peices, it's just how it is.

Good for you for giving away toys,
We have so many toys, Probably more then the toy store. Lol

I just donated some toys this year to my sons class, toys that were not looked at in years.
Pegs, magformers, melissa and doug blocks, and some trucks.

The rest of our toys, outgrown then, I cant justify giving away.bec I have kids, girls and boys of all ages that will grow into those toys.
