What a joy it is to be a kid during the holiday season. You anticipate the day you get to open your presents and play with your new toys. As a toy lover far too late into life, I remember those days vividly. But what a pain is to be a parent shopping for said child. Where do you go to buy toys these days? (RIP Toys R Us.) What’s going to keep the child busy and entertained? Are they going to learn from it? Is the toy going to drive the family crazy? (Anything with batteries basically!)

Have no shopping fear, Sarah In Style has gone kiddie and is here to help you out! You don’t even have to think about what to your get your kids this holiday season because I am sharing the top 5 toys we know they will love. Plus I’m telling you where you can purchase them.
