The younger the kid, the quicker they grow out of, well, everything. Here are a few must-haves that will last a few years (hopefully).
1. A comfy, cozy beanbag chair with a secret side-sleeve pocket for holding books or tablets, and a loop handle for dragging it around with ease.
Target
Promising review:"Loved these bean bags for my 6- and 8-year-olds. They fit perfectly in them; they're comfortable and lightweight enough to easily move around. Also like the structure to them. " — CRac
2. A Melissa & Doug wooden toy chest because there are just so many toys, and they can't be played with all at once, and they need to go somewhere that's not the floor.
Target
3. A 3-in-1 double-sided wooden art easel with a whiteboard, chalkboard, and paper roll for nascent artists to work in their preferred medium, and store all those art supplies on the easel's two shelves.
Target
Promising review:"It's very heavy, but I loved that about this item. It's actually wood and not flimsy at all. It is aesthetically pleasing to look at as a kid's toy. I love the shelves for storage, and it comes with two bins. The dry-erase board has been a huge hit, and the paper roll too." — Rclaus
4. A Lego Botanicals mini orchid building set that'll take some adult hands to help build, but will add a never-need-to-water-or-worry-about-dying floral touch to any kid's room.
Target
Promising reviews:"A really fun build. It didn't take very long. A great set for anyone that won't take hours or days to put together." — Baxterdad
"Looks life-like from across the room!" — Other
Price: $29.99
5. A pop-up LED light-up play tent to encourage kids to take off to new areas of imaginative and independent play (or just take a nap inside).
6. A Shark air purifier featuring a true HEPA filter for capturing 99.98% of airborne particles like dust, dander, and allergens in a space up to 500 square feet.
Target
Promising review:"Love the auto feature!!! It continuously adjusts to the amount of pollution in the air. It kicks into high gear when I blow out a candle on the other side of my apartment and even when I use hairspray/aerosol products in my bathroom. It's great to know that all the little things I don't see are being collected out of my home! It's easy to turn that feature off and you can set it on a timer, but I've read it's more beneficial to leave it running on auto. Air purifiers don't extort as much energy as you'd imagine. It's incredibly easy to check the filter life as well. 10/10 for this air purifier!" — haley a
7. A rack of painted wooden hooks to hang jackets, hoodies, backpacks, hats, or anything that doesn't exceed 2 pounds of weight on each hook (that means no hanging from these hooks, kiddos).
Target
8. A ceramic starry globe nightlight for helping kids who are drifting off to sleep or waking up in the middle of the night by casting lightly glowing stars on walls and ceilings.
Target
9. A waterproof, impact-resistant LED flashlight to light the way for those middle-of-the-night trips to the bathroom or conducting monster inspections under the bed.
10. A low-pile construction, indoor striped rug that easily adds a splash of color to the high-traffic areas of your kid's floor.
Target
Promising review:"Love the texture, the colors, and the quality! Pillowfort fan since always." — Valerio
11. A wood ruler growth chart for tracking all those feet and inches over the years and a nice little reminder for parents about how small the kids were at different times.
Target
12. A set of 12 collapsible drawer organizer bins so both parents and kids can easily find their favorite shirt or pair of socks without tearing the whole room apart.
Target
Promising review:"The perfect addition to organize my son's dresser. The zipper makes it easy to store away if you're not using them. Very sturdy" — Delana
13. An extra-large coiled rope basket to toss toys, clothes, grooming products, or whatever. It's especially helpful for transporting said items that have been scattered around the house back to their room or performing quick cleanups.
Target
Promising review:"I'm very impressed with this storage basket. It can be used to hold toys, blankets, clothes, etc. It can hold a good amount of items as well. My hubby wanted to steal the one I bought to replace his hamper. I ended up buying a second. Good buy!" — QueenB
14. A lightning bolt decorative pillow that strikes us as a sound investment for electrifying the decor of your kid's room for years to come.
Target
15. A water- and dust-proof JBL Go4 Bluetooth wireless speaker with a little loop for easy carrying and up to seven hours of playtime. You can even pair two speakers to create some stereo sound.
Walmart
Promising review:"I bought this to use in the shower, and it's perfect for this purpose. It took all of two seconds to pair with my phone. It has a nice sound and easy-to-use controls even with wet hands. I was surprised at how small the loop was. I'm not sure what its intended purpose is, but for me, it works for hanging off a shower curtain ring." — alissa
16. A two-tier wood bookshelf to display all those favorite books that you've read to the kids so many times that you've basically memorized the whole thing and don't even need to look at it. Plus, it holds toys too!
Target
17. A six-pack of remote-controlled, hexagon LED color-changing tile panel lights that can be arranged in nearly endless configurations. Each box includes fasteners for easily attaching to walls. Get a second set and link up to 12 lights.
Target
Promising review:"Pros: Easy to assemble and hang, great vivid colors with adjustable brightness, a decent amount of lighting-low ambiance and party vibes, different coloring-changing modes to switch it up. The lights respond to music amazingly well (mini-concert time). Slight inconveniences are that you can only connect six panels together, which makes it a little hard to make larger designs, and each set of six needs its own USB adapter." — Get Spooky
18. A 13-inch world globe to put 🎵 the whole world in their (small) hands 🎵 as kids can spin through international destinations while learning geography and what latitudes and longitudes are all about.
Target
19. A stainless-steel water bottle so kids won't need to creep around or even leave their beds if they want some water.
Target
Promising review:"Tough bottle. I'm clumsy, but the lid and handle have not broken yet. I break every bottle, so I'm impressed with its durability." — D
20. A Nex Playground Active Play video game system that uses an AI-powered camera and motion-learning system instead of sensors or wearables to sense natural hand gestures and movements. This is out-of-the-box fun right here, and an easy fit for any bedroom.
Target
Comes with five games: Starri, Whac-a-Mole, Goal Keeper, Fruit Ninja, and Party Fowl
Promising review:"I bought a Nex playground for my 5-year-old son, and he loves it. His favorite games are Fruit Ninja and the games in Active Arcade. I love that the Nex games keep him moving and that they keep developing new games for the console. The Nex has made playdates at our house a big hit. Their customer service is also fantastic! 10/10 recommend." — Cherylb614
21. A portable lap desk with plenty of storage space so creative endeavors like drawing, coloring, or writing never need to be confined to one space. It even works for snacking!
Target
22. An easy-to-clean two-sided playmat to provide a comfy surface for your kid's activities, especially if their bedroom has hardwood floors and no carpet.
Target
Promising review:"Great mat. Attractive. Cushioned. Great for sitting on while playing and prevents bumps and bruises for kids learning to walk. Dog and cat claws don't rip it. Can be vacuumed." — kc9
23. An ultrasonic cool mist humidifier that'll moisturize air for up to 25 hours straight, helping with anything from dry skin to congestion (for babies, toddlers, kids, and adults). Everyone's respiratory system wins!
Target
Ideal for rooms up to 250 square feet.
Promising review:"Easy to fill, quiet, good mist, and really improved my son's congestion. He is 2, and we have been using one from his baby shower for some time and saw no improvement; been using this for about a week and saw a quick change in his cough, congestion, and runny nose." — Cmarie
24. A 36-pack of plug protectors because electrical safety might still be an issue no matter how old they get!
Target
Promising review:"On top of everything you must worry about while being a parent, the last thing you need to worry about is your little one's tiny fingers getting hurt. This product is the best! Came with plenty of covers for the apartment." — BGarden
Price: $3.49
25. A polka-dotted kids' wastebasket for all those used tissues and snack wrappers that seemingly populate the floor at all times (even right after you've cleaned).
Target
Promising review:"Really nice trash can, perfect for my little girls' bedroom. It's sturdy enough that it's held up for a long time, even when being stored behind their door...they constantly open the door into it, lol. I expected it to get cracked after enough abuse, but it's still hanging on strong!" — Vja
Price: $18
