As a homeschooling mother of five, I try to provide toys for my kids that are both educational and fun. During the pandemic, this feels more important than ever. I love Wicked Uncle’s collaborative toys (listed 5-9) so that the children can spend time bonding at home, rather than fighting. And independent toys (listed 10-19) that allow my oldest daughter to be creative and stay busy while I take care of work at home.

1. My First Camera
Loaded with a 4GB memory card, USB download, and high-resolution capability, this tops my list because it doesn’t feel like just any toy. Although it has video games and other great features, this is a real camera! Any little kid would light up as soon as they see that they have the freedom to express themselves and they won’t have to borrow your phone! It comes in 2 cool colors. Learn More…
2. WOWmazing Giant Bubble Kit
Blowing a human-sized bubble is such a cool trick, it will be like performing magic in front of their friends and family! It comes in a kit ready to go with everything you need, just add dish soap. It’s super lightweight, is travel friendly and easy to use! This will impress even older siblings and cousins! Learn More…
3. Glow Art – Neon Effect Drawing Board
Draw your own pictures or trace something and make it your own. This is a really unique drawing board with dozens of colored LEDs that makes it look like it’s glowing! Art can really come alive with this and it saves on paper! It also has a built-in stand for that easel effect. Learn More…
4. Speak & Spell – Classic Spelling Fun
This 80’s flashback is going to have you wanting to play this along with them. It’s everything you remember, but for the new generation. It’s easy to carry, with 5 different learning modes, and a voice that’s easy to understand. I like this so much because it’s a game that kids can play by themselves and they won’t realize they’re learning! Literally hours of fun doing something that I would otherwise have to spend time teaching them. Learn More…
5. Glitter Face Painting – Color, Sparkle, and Shine
Hands-down, the best face painting kit we’ve ever tried! My kids have sensitive skin and my girls never had any issues with these water-based paints but they won’t look watery like some others out there. They love the glitter, rhinestones, and the instructions which also include helpful tips that end up looking like someone professional painted them! These are great for rainy days at home, family events, or parties! It’s so fun to see them learn and get better and to build relationships while they do it! Learn More…
6. Charades For Kids
Charades is another class game and a must-have in our home. Anyone can play if they’re willing to put themselves out there and get a little silly. The game adapts for non-readers or readers so that anyone 4 and up can play. This can be played with teams in bigger groups or during camps, scout meetings, and playgroups or it can be played with just 2 people! Bonus: It can also be used to play virtually! Everything must be acted out without words. It keeps them on their toes! Learn More…
7. Teatime Paint & Pretend Kit
The only way to make tea-time with someone even more memorable is to paint real china and then drink from the personalized set. It’s a 17 piece set which is a great value. It comes with the paint so there’s no need to purchase that separately. Be sure to keep it safe in the carry case, which features perfect little slots for all the pieces; another nice touch that makes this a special gift. Learn More…
8. Ultimate Unicorn Baking Set – Real Cooking
My girl watches us make meal after meal and lately, she really wants to join us in cooking. This is a fun, safe way for her to get a pretty good starter kit of 15 pieces including unicorn-shaped cupcake trays, unicorn-shaped cookie-cutters, and you guessed it: a unicorn-themed spatula! She can finally serve up something of her very own and all of these pieces can be used again and again. She’s also learning so many math and science skills, as well as expressing herself through decorating! Learn More…
9. Bean Boozled – Jelly Bean Challenge, Yummy or Not?
This is the most hilarious game! Half the jelly beans are normal and good and half are horrible and gross. The game is all about tricking your opponents into eating something rotten. I’m not sure if anyone really wins or loses but the looks on their faces will have everyone laughing ’till they cry! We bring this game on family trips! I don’t know why, but it never gets old! Learn More…
10. Beads Bouquet – 220 beads
No bead-loving little kid will ever grow tired of this kit until every last bead is used. This is a really pretty bead set with flowers, butterflies, and all the bead shapes and colors that she could want. This set comes with 220 beads which is an amazing value. To help stay connected, kids can make all the friendship bracelets and necklaces for the friends they are missing. The best part of this gift is the tray! A lifesaver for any parent, so that we can finally relax and just let her create without all the clean-up. Learn More…
11. 4 Wheel Starter Heel Skates – Easy Rollerz
Hot pink skates are a perfect way to help my daughter work on her balance while having fun outside and getting exercise. They are safer with 4 wheels that help with stability. She can strap them right over her shoes, making these so much faster to get into, more convenient for you, easier to lug around and they give her a sense of independence. My favorite feature is that they light up! My husband loves that they run off smart dynamo technology so they will save us a lot in batteries and won’t die while she’s out somewhere. Learn More…
12. GeoSafari Talking Globe – Travel The World
Give them the world! This is a perfect gift for an inquisitive child! This talking globe features the voice of wildlife conservationist, Bindi Irwin, with over ten hours of audio. It comes with a pen so that she can interact with it and learn all sorts of fascinating facts around the globe! Learn More…

Space-saving, this mini-microscope can magnify up to 54x so it packs a punch! Upload pics and even videos directly to your PC or Mac device. It’s uncomplicated and designed for little hands so that your child can focus quickly and easily on an image. It also takes videos! Learn More…
15. Lite-Brite – Classic Fun

18. Fairy Unicorn Wardrobe – Plays A Song
Every little girl needs her own jewelry box. This beautiful keepsake plays “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and upgrades the figure to a unicorn that she will surely love. It has way more compartments than a normal jewelry box and a little place for all her special things. This could be a gift she always remembers when she looks back on her childhood. Learn More…
19. Robot Petshop
Sometimes kids just want to build! Now your child can make 8 different animal robots! No need to be intimidated because this comes with a 32-page instruction book. She won’t grow tired of this because she can always change up the animal and watch it go!
Wicked Uncle has the cutest unique items for children. My daughter’s birthday isn’t for another few months but I’m always thinking ahead! It’s also a great idea to have a list handy just in case friends or relatives want to get something for holidays. Lastly, I want the gifts wrapped and I want a card to go with it! Wicked Uncle truly is a boutique experience, but online! Yes and yes!
