Mosquito Dunks to kill mosquitos before they're even big enough to bite you. They're made with a bacteria that's only toxic to mosquito larvae, so you don't have to worry about pets or wildlife. A set of low-maintenance, solar-powered lights you can stake along pathways to illuminate your walk to the house. Since they're powered by the sun, you can set them up and let them do their thing for the foreseeable future. A kitchen s'mores maker that'll bring the best part of camping indoors, thus eliminating the need for camping at all. Indoor people, rejoice! Bird Call — a goofy party game that'll have the whole house hooting, cawing, and croaking. Players call out bird sounds and trade cards when they find another player matching their call. Or Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a card game delivering a heavy dose of high-energy, adorably illustrated fun right when you need it. This has been a long-time bestseller because people of all ages absolutely love it! A battery-operated patio umbrella light so your family can actually see each other while dining outside. The battery-powered device has 28 LEDs to properly illuminate a whole picnic table after the sun sets. Bamboo wind chimes bringing chill vibes and sounds to your outdoor space. Sometimes a little twinkling noise is all you need to have a perfect backyard experience. A personalized, neon-style LED sign to add some legitimacy to your home theater. You can add your name, established year, and name of your home theater. Now you just need to spill some popcorn on the floor to really sell it. And a portable 120-inch screen you can pair with a mini Bluetooth projector to bring the theater experience to your backyard. Even SpongeBob will feel cinematic on the big screen, and outdoor movie nights are a surefire way to make friends with your neighbors. And since no movie is complete without snacks, a cart-style popcorn maker that aggressively fits the home theater aesthetic. This fun device pops with hot air instead of oil and can make 16 cups of popcorn at once. A pack of plastic balls to make all your nostalgic ball pit dreams come true. This pack comes with enough for a pet or small child to have fun could also buy adults could an idea... A pack of solar-powered garden lights that'll make it look like your foliage has been dusted with glowing pixie dust. The little orbs come on long stems that sway in the breeze to really sell the effect. And a pack of solar-powered mushroom string lights if you *really* want your backyard to feel like the mystical fairy village Ballonlea. Each weatherproof mushroom stakes into the ground so you can arrange them exactly how you'd like. Reed fencing offering a little privacy when you don't have the space or money to plant trees or bamboo. It'll obscure the view of your patio, balcony, or yard while still letting in some light so you don't make the space feel walled in. A bubble tent not unlike the kind you might find at expensive rooftop bars. Set one up in your backyard, and you can enjoy a romantic evening out of the house — but without chilly weather, bugs, or an eye-watering bar tab. A pack of sunflower seeds with nine varieties that not only look beautiful, but also attract honeybees, bumblebees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Each package has over 1,000 seeds and can cover up to 325 square feet, so maybe your neighbors will want some too! Interlocking teak tiles that are super easy to install — no tools needed! — even on uneven surfaces. Who knew that beautiful, tropical-looking flooring was an Amazon purchase and a couple hours of work away? A fast-acting lawn repair formula designed to revitalize your patchy yard after your dog has done a number on it. It helps with regrowth and has a special salt neutralizer that can minimize the effects of salts from dog urine. Now Fido can do his thing, and you can still have a lush backyard to relax by. A glow-in-the-dark capture the flag game sure to be a hit on temperate nights. This game can accommodate two teams of five and is great for all ages, so even your neighbors can join the fun. A canopy that provides shade without trapping in hot air and turning your otherwise pleasant patio into a sweatbox. It comes in a ton of different sizes, and reviewers say it's easy to install. An electric fondue pot, which is almost certainly the second best option after a legit chocolate fountain. Fill this 12-cup pot up with chocolate, cheese, or oil, and get dipping! A mini tiki bar you can set up in half an hour, meaning you can be slinging jungle birds and blue Hawaiians that same day. The waterproof furniture set comes with four chairs and plenty of storage for booze or juice. Is your backyard the new Margaritaville? Time to break out the blender and find out. A tabletop fly fan that keeps a steady breeze going to deter bugs. Think of it as a robotic swatting hand so your guests can keep their own hands free to grab some macaroni salad. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic able to sync up with most devices, meaning your home is about to become a karaoke bar. When people are done belting their favorite show tunes, you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker by turning off the microphone function. A croquet set perfect for anyone who wants their backyard to feel like Veronica's house from Heathers. Now, you just need to supply everyone with a gigantic blazer to complete the look. Or a ring toss game that requires less time to play, but will be no less competitive. We are not liable for any fights that break out when Cousin Steve starts his throw from over the starting line. An eye-catching tabletop lighter shaped like a jelly mold that even comes with a little hidden tray underneath. If this isn't the perfect centerpiece, I don't know what is. A set of waterproof globe lights to instantly improve the ambiance of your backyard. I don't know how string lights do it, but they have a 100% success rate of making me happy. A giant stacking game that'll make you and your friends feel like Godzilla if he was actually very apologetic and wanted to rebuild the skyscrapers. The set comes in 3-, 4-, or 5-foot versions, so make sure you stand back when it's your butter-fingered friend's turn. Color-changing inflatable pool balls to make night swims feel extra magical. They have solar-powered LEDs that work for up to eight hours after charging. Or some floating flamingos that'll light up your pool area and provide some much-needed tropical fun. They're also solar powered and last up to eight hours after a complete charge. A galaxy light so you can project the starry night sky onto your ceilings and walls for a dreamy vibe that's ~out of this world~. Bonus: The light show will hide the various scuffs on your ceiling and walls. 🤫 An inflatable bull chipper that lets golfers practice their swing by aiming balls at a Velcro-like dart board. It stands over six feet tall, so even golfers known for scooping the ball have a chance to hit it.

35 Walmart Travel Essentials For Family Vacations
A Master Lock portable safe with a resettable combination to keep your valuables safe (or at least safer than stuffing them into a shoe at the bottom of a bag) while you're at the beach, pool, or anywhere that allows you to concentrate on fun instead of potential theft. Promising review: "This is great for carrying personal items like jewelry and cash on trips. Has a way to connect it to your purse or luggage." —dianaPrice: $19.92 A three-pack of Tide To Go stain remover pens for those trips where you're packing light and there's no washing machine. Little clothes will most likely get stained, so you'll be glad you have this on hand for sauce and juice spills. Promising review: "I feel like a superhero with these in my purse. Blood, gotcha. Wine, no prob. My kiddos mysteriously get spots on absolutely any shirt they wear, thank goodness." —LauraPrice: $7.88 A 12-pack of travel-sized Purell advanced hand sanitizer gels because you can never have enough clean hands, and there's nothing worse than catching a bug while on vacation. Price: $14.99 A waterproof car trash can with a lid and storage pockets for instilling just a modicum of hope that you might be able to keep the car somewhat cleaner than the house. Maybe. Promising review: "Best thing to keep in your car when you have kids!! Keeps the back of my car mess free now, and good size!" —anonymousPrice: $11.99 (available in three colors) An Anker PowerCore Select 10000 portable charger because one of the worst moments you'll experience while traveling with kids is when their favorite device runs out of juice at the absolute worst time. This power bank allows for simultaneous charging, so no fighting over it (hopefully). Promising review: "Good size, easy to handle and hold. I charged three phones, one charger, and two small fans, including one with light. It's great to have during the hurricane season and/or if you're in an area where the power now goes out for no known reason. Great price, too!" —JayniePrice: $23.99 ($29.88) A pair of foldable, wired, and wireless (thanks to Bluetooth) cat ear headphones that'll purr for up to 10 hours of listening time. The adjustable headband makes them comfortable, while the light-up kitty ears make them spectacular. Promising review: "I bought these for my daughter's 8th birthday, and she loves them. The setup was very easy; she connected them to several tablets and my phone without an issue. Bluetooth connects quickly and doesn't have any issues disconnecting. The lights are awesome and charging is a breeze." —RachelPrice: $16.98+ (available in three colors) A Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game (a personal favorite of mine) where players take turns calling out the words taco, cat, goat, cheese, and pizza (in that order) until the word matches the card. But watch out for those gorilla, groundhog, and narwhal cards! Promising review: "My kids and I really like Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! You go around the circle, and each person says an item. If the card matches what you say, everyone tries to slap the deck. The last person to slap the deck must take all the cards. There are also action cards in the deck. This game keeps you on your toes, and there will be laughing!" —LisaPrice: $9.84 A rechargeable and flexible stroller fan with three settings so the kids (and you) can keep cool throughout your trip. Promising review: "Worked perfectly for the warm summer day! Very quiet, quick, and easy to set up." —melissa Price: $19.99 (originally $39.99; available in four colors) A colorful rolling backpack built for school but, like your kids, has earned a well-deserved holiday. Great for wheeling around the airport and carrying on to the plane, and if it'll fit everything from books to lunch boxes, it'll undoubtedly accommodate vacation items too. Promising review: "I absolutely love this little rolling backpack! It travels well. I went on a vacation for three weeks in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales, and this little bag went through seven flights, several trains, subways, buses, and car trips, and it is lightweight enough for the overhead compartments. So if you want something lightweight but strong enough to be stuffed with all your traveling belongings, this is the one you need!" —ArtsynursePrice: $44.99+ (available in seven colors) A pack of four TSA-approved travel bottles for all of the lotions and potions that babies and kids require so you don't have to travel with all of those full-size bottles taking up extra luggage space. Promising review: "Absolutely perfect! They're easy to fill and come with labels. It's perfect for my busy traveling life!" —MorganPrice: $10+ (available in two color options) A do-it-all travel duffel/weekender bag that features a shoe compartment, a wet pocket, two inner and three front open pockets, and plenty of room inside. Works great as a carry-on or in the car. Promising review: "It's beautiful and is so spacious, I definitely can use it as a weekender!" —MaryPrice: $24.99 (available in 11 colors) A two-pack of portable clotheslines with 12 clothespins because most hotel rooms aren't built for properly drying clothes and there's nothing worse than that not-quite-dry swimsuit smell when you're packing to go home. Price: $10 An inflatable swim tube pool float so that you don't have to pay an outrageous price (tourist pricing) wherever you're staying for something that's probably not going to make the trip back home. Promising review: "Thick material. We used it in the ocean, and it held up. Buying more." —JessicaPrice: $2.47+ (available in four colors) A 250-piece first aid kit packed with bandages, butterfly closures, gauze pads, ointments, examination gloves, an instant cold compress, and more for any emergencies that don't (hopefully) require a trip to the emergency room. Promising review: "This is that kit you buy, put in the back of the car, go on a road trip with friends/family, and then thank yourself for later. The kit itself is fairly inexpensive, and the first aid gear inside of it reflects that. We chose it due to its ideal size and list of contents. It is just as expected. Let's just hope we don't have to use it too often." —JasminePrice: $16.98 An allergen-free, plant-derived, child-safe, vegan-approved Foot Glide anti-blister balm because you and the kids are going to do a lot of walking on vacation (maybe in sandals), and you can't let any skin irritation slow you down. Price: $9.99 A 20-pack of disposable, hooded, button-down kids' rain ponchos for those times when you forgot to check the weather app (re: most of the time) or when a storm blows in unannounced. Price: $19.83 A UPF 50+ sun-protective, wide-brim bucket hat to keep kids' heads, faces, and necks safe from that summer sun while the drawstring keeps it secured from blowing away and getting lost. The hat also folds up for easy on-the-go storage. Promising review: "Works just like what I needed! Baby can't pull it off! Easy to put on him and cute!" —JillPrice: $10+ (available in six patterns and sizes 6/12 Months–4/8 Years) A three-pack of kids' sunglasses so little eyes stay protected, and little hands can't break them with any twisting or bending. Plus, every baby looks cool wearing these! Promising review: "Wow. These glasses are better than I expected. The material is soft and flexible; it won't hurt your kid's skin. They are very well-made and polarized!! I have to say it's the best deal ever !! My kids love them." —LanPrice: $10 An inflatable bathtub because even though you're on vacation, you still have to wash that kid, and unless otherwise requested, most hotel/motel rooms don't have a tub. Promising review: "I bought this tub for my grandson because my daughter only has a shower. And it really helped a lot. Because he's a toddler now, and she can't give him a bath in the sink anymore. And he loves it. This isn't just for babies it can be used for a toddler also." —ValeryPrice: $24.99 An eight-piece packing cube set that's not just for organizing suitcases for family trips. Use these to store an extra set of clothes (kids are gonna kid) in your go-bag or in the car. Promising review: "These bags are perfect! They hold so many clothes. I bought these because they were machine washable. I've washed them a few times now, and they are holding up perfectly! I like being able to organize everything. It's so much easier to go through the luggage when everything is sorted into bags." —KristinaPrice: $10.90+ (available in three colors) A pair of Crocs because they're easy to slip on, easier to clean, and protect little toes better than flip-flops, especially when running on hot sand or slippery concrete around the pool. Promising review: "This is my second pair for my son this year (he grew out of the last pair). Great quality, it is easy and comfortable for him to get on and wear on his own." —ChelseaPrice: $24.99+ (available in 16 kids' sizes and 18 color options) A six-pack of Munchkin jumbo microwave bottle sterilizer bags so you can thoroughly disinfect bottles or breastfeeding equipment by eliminating 99.9% of the most common bacteria and germs. Just add water and pop it in the microwave for as little as 90 seconds. Promising review: "I love this sterilizer bag. Before using these I would sterilize all my bottles and pump parts in a pot of boiling water. With this bag, I just toss a bunch of parts in, add a little water, and in a few minutes, I'm done. You can easily dump out the water without opening the bag and avoid burning your hands immediately by handling the bag using the cool tab. I love the check boxes on the front to remind me how many times I've used each bag. These can be used up to 30 times." —sorrycharlie625Price: $12.99 A machine-washable, 70 x 60-inch packable blanket made with 100% recycled polyester fabrics. It includes a sack for easy storage in the car or a carry-on and it's great for for impromptu naps, snuggle times, or general chilling outdoors, thanks to its durable protective bottom. Promising review: "Perfect camping or trip blanket that is easily stored and lightweight for travel, and honestly does its job well in keeping one toasty and comfortable. Not to mention, the colors are beautiful, making it an attractive blanket." —YootuniPrice: $23.92 (available in two colors) A kids' travel tray, which is like their own little backseat workstation. The "desk" part is actually a dry-erase board, and there are dedicated holders for the two most important things for kids on long car trips: tablets and water bottles. Promising review: "Used this for my two boys driving over 2,000 miles for vacation and it was A HIT! They loved it and so did I! Very functional! Easy to unclip to go to the bathroom and clip back up! Keeps everything zipped up, and nothing spills over!!!" —VioletPrice: $28.95+ (available in five colors) A four-pack of sand removers so the beach doesn't follow you and your kids back to your room, car, or anywhere else. If you're someone who hates sand getting everywhere (like me), these are a must. Price: $4.39+ (available in two colors) A kids' travel air mattress inflatable bed with raised sides for any trip where the sleeping situation isn't so clear (like when the hotel promises a crib or pack and play and then they don't have one). It's also great for camping and sleepovers! Note: No air pump included. Promising review: "This inflatable mattress has been a lifesaver for travel with kids! It's comfortable, with raised sides that help keep my little one from rolling off. It's easy to inflate and deflate and fits well in our car. The pink color is a cute touch too." —Walmart CustomerPrice: $24.98+ (available in two colors) A foldable Oxo Tot 2-in-1 Go Potty because when they gotta go, you know they gotta go! Like, right now! No bathroom? No problem; extend the legs, and voilà, you've got an instant roadside commode. This potty also lays flat on regular toilets for a more comfortable seat on the throne. Includes three disposable bags with absorbent pads and a travel review: "This is perfect for keeping in the back of the car for travelling. Right now, we are potty training, and we can just pull over and have him go on the side of the road. It is also perfect for public restrooms, so he feels like he won't fall in. He likes it too, which is a huge plus." —debbiePrice: $20.99 (available in three colors) An Evenflo Hummingbird ultra-lightweight stroller that can be opened and closed with one hand, which is clutch because you'll most likely be holding the baby with the other! Drives well, travels well, and fits almost anywhere. I used an older Evenflo model on all our family trips with two children. It lasted for years. But I got a chance to test this new model (my youngest hasn't quite grown out of the stroller yet), and it's even better. It is amazingly light, which is the best thing it can be when packing it onto a plane or a car trunk. How light? When the box arrived, I literally tossed it to my wife and said, "Check out how light this is!" Luckily, she caught it and didn't wing it back at my head. Price: $229.99+ (available in three colors) A pack of 80 DEET-free mosquito repellent patches for kids and adults infused with peppermint and citronella oil for 24-hour protection. Stick one on, and those bugs won't be bothering you. Price: $9.96 A travel white-noise machine because you never know what the sleeping situation is going to be on the road. Choose from four sound options (heartbeat, white noise, ocean, or lullaby). Clip it to the stroller, car seat, bag, or crib, and here comes sleepy time (hopefully). Note: Requires three AAA batteries. Promising review: "Perfect for travel, on-the-go naps! Hooks easily onto the baby carrier. Has been dropped with no issues. Good size and volume level." —HeatherPrice: $19.99 A 3-in-1 multi-charging cable so you can cut down on packing an excessive amount of cords, always have the right plug, and be able to juice up several devices at once. Promising review: "Oh my gosh, this is the way to go when your devices are charged with different cords. I can plug the one into the wall adapter and then into all my devices. And I do mean I plug in my Apple phone, Kindle, and new iPad all at once instead of using three different cords and switching them out all the time. What a game-changer. Little things like this sure do help." —DebraPrice: $9.99 for a 3-in-1 two-pack (available in five colors) A 26-piece Micro Magna-Tiles travel set, because regular-size Magna-Tiles are too heavy to pack for trips, and this shrinked-down version is just as fun to play with, especially with a metal carrying case that works as a stand for building. Promising review: "I love that the case is sturdy enough to throw in a bag and go. The tray is perfect for containing building projects. They work well with their larger counterparts." —Mary Price: $19.97 An easy-to-use portable hotel door lock that offers a little extra security when you're staying somewhere unfamiliar. Promising review: "It worked pretty well, and the instructions were clear. I don't know if it would stop someone who was determined to get in. But it will discourage someone from finding an easier target." —KrystalPrice: $12.79 An eight-count of grape-flavored Dramamine Motion Sickness chewables for kids so you can get through any car trip without stopping, scrambling for a plastic bag, and eventually having to clean up puke. Promising review: "My family truly enjoys this product. My kids get motion sickness when driving in the car for long periods. They always do great as long as they have Dramamine before our trip. They love the flavor of these chewables! The little container they come in is great for travel. Highly recommend!" —KadyPrice: $7.20 for an eight-pack A pack of 120 dog poop bags because, now hear me out here, you're not going to be traveling with a Diaper Genie, but you're still going to have to deal with dirty, stinky diapers piling up. Promising review: "Best poop bags! They are large and thick. It's nice to know my nails won't poke through. The price is great for something to pick up poop with! —tat2dmama70Price: $5.88 Need ingredients for all your new recipes?

And since no movie is complete without snacks, a cart-style popcorn maker that aggressively fits the home theater aesthetic. This fun device pops with hot air instead of oil and can make 16 cups of popcorn at once. A pack of plastic balls to make all your nostalgic ball pit dreams come true. This pack comes with enough for a pet or small child to have fun could also buy adults could an idea... A pack of solar-powered garden lights that'll make it look like your foliage has been dusted with glowing pixie dust. The little orbs come on long stems that sway in the breeze to really sell the effect. And a pack of solar-powered mushroom string lights if you *really* want your backyard to feel like the mystical fairy village Ballonlea. Each weatherproof mushroom stakes into the ground so you can arrange them exactly how you'd like. Reed fencing offering a little privacy when you don't have the space or money to plant trees or bamboo. It'll obscure the view of your patio, balcony, or yard while still letting in some light so you don't make the space feel walled in. A bubble tent not unlike the kind you might find at expensive rooftop bars. Set one up in your backyard, and you can enjoy a romantic evening out of the house — but without chilly weather, bugs, or an eye-watering bar tab. A pack of sunflower seeds with nine varieties that not only look beautiful, but also attract honeybees, bumblebees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Each package has over 1,000 seeds and can cover up to 325 square feet, so maybe your neighbors will want some too! Interlocking teak tiles that are super easy to install — no tools needed! — even on uneven surfaces. Who knew that beautiful, tropical-looking flooring was an Amazon purchase and a couple hours of work away? A fast-acting lawn repair formula designed to revitalize your patchy yard after your dog has done a number on it. It helps with regrowth and has a special salt neutralizer that can minimize the effects of salts from dog urine. Now Fido can do his thing, and you can still have a lush backyard to relax by. A glow-in-the-dark capture the flag game sure to be a hit on temperate nights. This game can accommodate two teams of five and is great for all ages, so even your neighbors can join the fun. A canopy that provides shade without trapping in hot air and turning your otherwise pleasant patio into a sweatbox. It comes in a ton of different sizes, and reviewers say it's easy to install. An electric fondue pot, which is almost certainly the second best option after a legit chocolate fountain. Fill this 12-cup pot up with chocolate, cheese, or oil, and get dipping! A mini tiki bar you can set up in half an hour, meaning you can be slinging jungle birds and blue Hawaiians that same day. The waterproof furniture set comes with four chairs and plenty of storage for booze or juice. Is your backyard the new Margaritaville? Time to break out the blender and find out. A tabletop fly fan that keeps a steady breeze going to deter bugs. Think of it as a robotic swatting hand so your guests can keep their own hands free to grab some macaroni salad. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic able to sync up with most devices, meaning your home is about to become a karaoke bar. When people are done belting their favorite show tunes, you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker by turning off the microphone function. A croquet set perfect for anyone who wants their backyard to feel like Veronica's house from Heathers. Now, you just need to supply everyone with a gigantic blazer to complete the look. Or a ring toss game that requires less time to play, but will be no less competitive. We are not liable for any fights that break out when Cousin Steve starts his throw from over the starting line. An eye-catching tabletop lighter shaped like a jelly mold that even comes with a little hidden tray underneath. If this isn't the perfect centerpiece, I don't know what is.

Or a giant stacking game that'll make you and your friends feel like Godzilla if he was actually very apologetic and wanted to rebuild the skyscrapers. The set comes in 3-, 4-, or 5-foot versions, so make sure you stand back when it's your butter-fingered friend's turn. Color-changing inflatable pool balls to make night swims feel extra magical. They have solar-powered LEDs that work for up to eight hours after charging. Or some floating flamingos that'll light up your pool area and provide some much-needed tropical fun. They're also solar powered and last up to eight hours after a complete charge. A galaxy light so you can project the starry night sky onto your ceilings and walls for a dreamy vibe that's ~out of this world~. Bonus: The light show will hide the various scuffs on your ceiling and walls. 🤫 An inflatable bull chipper that lets golfers practice their swing by aiming balls at a Velcro-like dart board.

27 Walmart Products That Are Just Begging To Be Put In An Easter Basket
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Basket fillers they're sure to get ~egg-cited~ about. 1. An adorable 14-ounce Peeps-shaped tumbler (with a straw!) because it's Easter and the theme should always be Peeps EVERYTHING. 2. An ~egg-citing~ pack of pre-filled Easter eggs, each containing a different fidget toy keychain, in case you have A LOT of Easter baskets to fill. These are relaxing, fun, and inexpensive — the trifecta of awesome for basket fillers. Walmart 3. A Bunny 3-in-1 Lego set that's both fun and on-theme for the holiday. This set is great because it can be taken apart and turned into a seal and a llama — making it so much better than a one-and-done build. Walmart Promising review: "A cute gift to begin with. To build, this is such a great experience for small motor skills and training a creative mind to be able to follow directions. It's also the perfect gift for Easter, not just for children, but teenage girls would love it. Plus, it's healthier than getting candy. Also a must-have for anyone who collects animals of Lego or a rabbit toy exclusive collection. I don't want to give it away!" — Bonnie 4. And a classic solid milk chocolate Hershey's bunny rabbit because if you're going to give them a basket load of chocolate, you might as well make sure it's the good stuff. Walmart 5. AND a super cute stuffed bunny that's great for literally any age — because we all need another stuffed friend in our lives. Reviewers love just how high quality this stuffy is and how even their grown-up children have loved it. Walmart 6. A seriously fun — and seriously well-reviewed — Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game that's simple enough for kids to play with each other but fun enough that you'll want to join in, too! And with gameplay that lasts about 10 minutes, you don't have to dedicate your entire afternoon to memory-making. Walmart My family absolutely loves this game. It really doesn't take long, and my 5-year-old can play with no help (although I throw a few rounds every now and then to even the playing field). It's silly, easy, and quick — my three requirements for a game with young kids. Promising review: "This game is awesome! We have played with only adults and with kids and both have been great experiences. The youngest child in the group we played with was 5, and they kept up well. Highly recommend to pass the time." — Jessica 7. A classic pin art toy for some old school, guaranteed giggles. The pure joy of seeing an imprint of your face in rainbow just does not get old. My youngest kid has one of these, and I do not regret the purchase for a second. Walmart 8. A harmonica to get that musical talent up and running. Stay with me here — my oldest got one of these in a treasure box a while ago and I was NOT enthusiastic about the choice. But it's actually really hard not to sound like a musical prodigy on a harmonica, and I love how impressed she is by her own music. And when I've had enough, it's easy enough to say, "Enough harmonica for the day!" and away it goes. A slam dunk Easter basket addition. Walmart Promising review: "My 7-year-old LOVES this harmonica! Also, it's very durable, as she can be a little rough with her toys, but it's still as perfect as it was when we received it. 5/5" — Misty 9. A flower-themed bubble blower that'll provide the simple joy of bubbles without the accompanying lightheadedness from prolonged "MORE BUBBLES." Fill the reservoir. Press the button. Put your feet up. Sip something with an umbrella in it. Bask in successfully setting up fun once again. Walmart 10. A rock-painting kit for flexing that creativity muscle. They can leave their creations around to make others smile, or they can jazz up your yard. Either way, a little quiet inside fun that can get them outside when the weather is nice is a win! Walmart Promising review: "Wish I would have ordered way more of these! They are perfect! So easy for young children and perfect for older kids (or adults) who want to have fun painting and decorating rocks. My 3-year-old took right to this, and my 8-year-old loved using the stickers! Also, the paint dried quickly, so we could do more without having to wait!" — alyse Price: $12.50 11. A nostalgic and super easy Velcro toss-and-catch game that will provide them with the fun of playing catch regardless of their hand-eye prowess (or lack thereof). Walmart 12. A NeeDoh Nice Cube — aka the single greatest fidget/stress ball in existence. My neurodiverse kiddo has been through ALL THE FIDGETS and has landed on this one as the best. It's durable, has plenty of resistance, and always goes back into shape. Walmart Promising review: "I bought this for my almost 3-year-old son and for my 5-year-old nephew for Christmas, and I love these things!! It's so satisfying and durable! It washes off so easily with just a rinse! Just make sure not to throw it as it's super solid with any force ('cause science). Love it!" — SJP 13. A set of travel-size magnetic tiles for a *little* screen-free entertainment. It's everything they love about magnetic tiles, but smaller and easier to store. Honestly, it's a no-lose situation for anyone and great for most ages. Walmart Promising review: "My son loved these. I keep them in my bag when we go to restaurants. We let him play with them at the table before the food comes. They are like normal Magna-Tiles but mini. The price point is a little high but the quality is there. Also, I love that they come with a high-quality travel case. Would buy again. An easy toy to bring on the go." — Keri 14. A pack of twistable colored pencils in case you have an artist who you definitely do not trust with a pencil sharpener. Plus, these pencils will save them the heartache of continuously snapping off the colored part. 🙌 Walmart Promising review: "My 4-1/2-year-old daughters LOVE these! They color every day, and these are their go-to crayons. These allow my girls to stay in the lines better and are also great for writing their letters clearly, unlike normal crayons where letters can get smudged and messy looking." — Twincuties 15. A Stitch plush since the new movie is coming out this year, which will absolutely reinvigorate their Stitch obsession (and yours!) in time for the premiere. Walmart Promising review: "This is large and great quality material for the price. I just loved it. Would definitely recommend for all your Stitch lovers. 💙 They will enjoy snuggling these characters for years!" — Michelle Price: $10 16. A musical "game controller" for your baby who is drawn to your Xbox controller but who is also completely ruining your high score. Plus, what baby doesn't love the sheer joy of pressing buttons? Walmart Promising review: "My baby loves it! She always wants the game controller of her dad's, so this was perfect to occupy her. While he's on the game, she acts like she is playing with him! She's 10-months-old." — Yasmin 17. A toddler flashlight to give them the simple pleasure of playing with a flashlight without the added terror of them staring directly into it. Whether it's learning colors or having fun trying to do shadow puppets together, this flashlight is a great addition to the toddler toy stash. Walmart Promising review: "It's a cute little flashlight. My son loves it, and we don't give him a real one because he shines them in his eyes. This one is made for children, so it doesn't hurt their eyes." — Ashley 18. A two-pack of foam soap for the ultimate sensory experience inside or outside of the bath. Foam soap is awesome for kids of various ages and can be used in so many ways. I've put it on a cookie sheet and mixed it with water beads for extra sensory fun, but you can also put it in the bath so it just goes right down the drain. Either way, it's sure to bring some Easter delight. Walmart Promising review: "My kids absolutely LOVE playing with this bath foam!!! It comes off easily and doesn't leave any stains. The price is great for how much comes in each can, and so far, every kind I have bought has smelled great! Just a really cool fun thing for your kids to use at bath time!" — anonymous Price: $6.17 19. A set of neon-colored Play-Doh to up-level your Play-Doh experience if those plain old colors have gotten old. These bright colors will bring that "summertime-is-so-close-I-can-taste-it" feeling that late April can bring. Walmart 20. A Bluey bubble wand for your little one who can't stop watching the Heelers. Coax them outside with the lure of bubbles and the Bluey theme song playing in tandem. I mean, it would work for me, and I'm the parent. Walmart Don't forget to pick up AAA batteries! Promising review: "My granddaughter loves this. It blows a huge amount of bubbles. I highly recommend it." — Dale Price: $12.93 21. A pack of Crayola sidewalk chalk so they can take their creativity outside in the fresh air where it should be for a change. Sidewalk chalk is fun for all ages, and your summer stash from last year is probably ready for a change out, anyway. Walmart Promising review: "Chalk can go really fast with my kids, but these have lasted a while. There are so many beautiful colors and a great price for the quality and quantity." — Mollie Price: $2.54 for a pack of 24 (originally $2.97) 22. A set of fine-tipped pastel markers for coloring those precious springtime art pieces. My kids LOVE these markers because they're durable, easy-to-use, and have a fine tip that actually works for coloring books. Walmart Promising review: "My kids go through markers like crazy. I love that these are a little better for detail than classic kid markers but still affordable. Love the colors in this set, too! The pastels are really fun and unique. Always fun to have new color options to work with!" — Lila Price: $3.58 (originally $13; also available in a three-pack) 23. A mini Bop-It to relive your own childhood excitement through your kids. And if you need to teach them some humility by absolutely dominating, that's no one's business but yours (go get 'em). Walmart Promising review: "I got this for my 8-year-old son for Christmas. He loves it, and my husband and I are having a blast playing. It's super nostalgic since we both played as kids!" — Jaci Price: $9.84 (originally $22) 24. A TikTok-famous Kanoodle brain teaser puzzle that allows them to solve 200 puzzles in one small package. This is a great boredom buster for waiting rooms, a fun challenge for puzzle lovers, and an activity that'll get those strategy skills flowing without beeps, buzzes, or crashes. Walmart Promising review: "I got this for my daughter's 11th birthday goodie bag, and she was so excited! She's been playing with it nonstop for the last three weeks. I'm always looking for games and activities that have nothing to do with screen time. And this one definitely keeps her attention." — tiana Price: $9.97 25. A camera with an instant-print option because not knowing how a picture is going to turn out might be a distant memory to you, but to them, it's positively MIND-BLOWING. You're going to love seeing all of the photos they call art, no matter how unsteady their hand is. Walmart Promising review: "Well worth the purchase!!! Very kid-friendly. My 7-year-old loves it!!! Great quality, fun little gadget! The pictures are so detailed!" — Kally Price: $31.98 (originally $49.98; available in two colors) 26. A low-stakes egg-toss game that's fun for the whole family. This soft egg can sense when it's being passed or dropped, and saves you the task of cleaning up yolk splatter or having a rogue egg hit someone in the noggin. Walmart Promising review: "What a great toy. We all played with it on Easter morning. We were amazed at how smart this interactive toy was. We laughed and played with it for hours. We will definitely bring it on vacation with us, too." — Martha Price: $24.99 (available in pink or blue) 27. A set of high-quality over-ear headphones because if they need headphones for technology, they might as well be comfortable. They can also hook together so two kids can watch the same thing at the same time without a fight — pure bliss. Walmart Promising review: "These seem to be my child's favorite kind. They are comfortable, and the sound is good. The first pair lasted over a year, and he asked for another one just like them." — Mandy Price: $11.90+ (originally $24.99; available in two versions, seven colors, and in a two-pack) Need ingredients for all your new recipes?
