Hey All!
I recently had the amazing opportunity to attend Sweet Suite at Home by The Toy Insider! If you’re not familiar with Sweet Suite at Home, it’s the ultimate toy party that gathers more than 50 kids’ brands under one virtual roof. It’s an invite only online event and I was lucky enough to score an invite. All of our favorite toy brands were in attendance and it’s impossible to list all the amazing new toys for toddlers we got to see this year. I did manage to narrow it down to some of my absolute favorites. These amazing toys come from some of our go to brands like Just Play to KidTrax!
Here are some of our favorites! They are either out now or coming out in the next month!

Next is the Tomy The Jurassic World Pick and Push T-Rex and John Deere Monster Treads Super Scale Combine!
My son is obsessed with trucks and tractors. He loves watching John Deere videos of tractors on YouTube. He’s in love with this ginormously scaled Monster Treads truck!

Together when you push the T-Rex along, the flexible wire inside the gyroshpere allows you to collect up to 5 balls simply by rolling over them.
