The gift ideas we’ve put together for you to peruse reflect this weird and wonderful life stage. They are organized around passions your 10-year-old may explore, like music, writing, science, cooking and photography. At the same time, they are super fun products that are both accessible and exciting for 10-year-olds. We’ve also included a generous portion of toys to get kids having a blast both indoors and outdoors, such as LEGO sets, RC cars, sports equipment and even hoverboards....

This popular animated series from Canada premiered in 2013 and it follows the adventures of a group of adorable rescue dogs called the PAW Patrol. Their doggie leader is a German Shepherd named Chase, who was abandoned as a puppy. These pups and their best human friend, a brave boy named Ryder, live and work in Adventure Bay (a place that looks quite a bit like Vancouver). In every episode, they demonstrate intelligence, courage and loyalty....

However, it’s not just the book; this year, we saw Dog Man, the movie created by DreamWorks, which did well at the box office. As always, enjoy, and if you have any more ideas for a new Dog Man coloring page, please share them. Please send us an email: hello@thetoyzone.com 1. Dog Man Dog Man is leaping into action in this coloring page. Dog Man was created when an accident happened when a bomb from Petey caused the man and the dog to have injuries....

Just on the cusp of middle childhood and grade school, 6-year-olds are in an in-between phase. They haven’t lost the fertile imagination that characterizes early childhood. Still, they’re also beginning to understand the world more concretely and begin to thrive on order and structure. This makes STEM toys, LEGO sets and step-by-step activities great gift choices for 6-year-olds. At the same time, they can still access that world of creative play, so roleplay toys and action figures will still go down a treat, as will gifts that allow them to let out some energy....

When Disney’s designers dream up their baddie’s lairs, they don’t worry about being ‘pleasant.’ They enjoy making their hideouts dark, stylish, tricky, and mysterious. For our latest set of Polly Pockets, TheToyZone wanted in on the fun. Perhaps you saw the fictional TV and movie homes we transformed into Polly Pockets a while back? We’re obsessed with hacking Mattel’s matchbox dollhouses to make tiny homes for our favorite fictional characters....

Finding the right game online can be a challenge in itself, so we’ve put together a list of the best Switch games according to people who have witnessed how much fun their six-year-olds have had playing them. By bashing away any games with fake reviews, you won’t be slipping on any bad bananas. With all the greats like Mario, Sonic, and Pokémon, will you stop at one game or will you want to catch ‘em all?...

It’s now clear that as of 2025, Captain Underpants has gone mainstream, and what better way to celebrate with a commission of 5 iconic scenes from Captain Underpants. George Beard and Harold Hutchins are 4th graders who accidentally create Captain Underpants after they hypnotize their hard-nosed principal, Mr. Krupp. As always, enjoy, and if you have any more ideas for a new Captain Underpants coloring page, please share them. Please send us an email: hello@thetoyzone....

Our verdict: The Spiralin Seas Waterpark from Little Tikes is a great example of a high quality water table that has a number of extras that older kids will enjoy beyond just the fun of water (which all young kids just love.) Of all the water tables we recommend here at TheToyZone, the Spiralin Seas Waterpark was the most popular with our readers and so I was super keen to get my hands on one for a full hands on review with help from my 3-year-old son Liam....

The 17 high-quality coloring pages below — all without logo — bring to life the magic and excitement of Spider-Man’s life. Whether Spidey’s soaring over the Big Apple or chilling at the beach, he’s scaring evildoers wherever he goes....

The ‘80s were the dawn of a new era. Women were entering the workplace in record numbers, computers were finally small and affordable enough to enter homes and offices, and a surge in mass manufacturing meant that more toys were available than ever before. Everything had to be bigger, faster, and more extravagant, and that was reflected in fashion, hairstyles, TV and toys alike. From teddy bears that told stories to the first handheld gaming consoles to dolls that caused riots, the ‘80s was an iconic decade for toys....

The Top 3 Polly Pockets for Boys The amazing thing about Polly Pocket’s is that no theme is unimaginable. One minute Polly could be running her own Sushi Cafe, the next she could be exploring far off planets like Saturn, there’s something for everyone in this collection....

Since Polly Pocket was born, the concept has been bought up first by Bluebird Toys, and then Mattel. It has been relaunched, redesigned, and publicized with spin-off shows and a trilogy of movies. But while the miniature dollhouse has charmed generations of small-things-lovers, TheToyZone reckons Mattel is missing a trick. Why shouldn’t Polly Pocket ‘do a LEGO’ and absorb a popular franchise or two? Where’s our teeny-weeny Polly Pocket: Death Star Edition?...

Many of us have experiences like this and are justifiably anxious when picking out a gift for a young teenager. What if they hate it? What do today’s teens even like? These may be a few of the thoughts going through your head. At the same time, I can also remember a lot of treasured gifts I received around that age, including CDs from my favorite bands, books that taught me things in entertaining ways and my beloved drum set....

As grown-ups, our pockets become boring places to keep our keys, wallets and phones, but none of these are important to our kids. They know what their priorities are and every child’s pocket is as unique as their fingerprints. So here’s what six children from around the world carry with them in their pockets: Nadya, age 6 (Ukraine) If Nadya had her way, her pockets would be full of slime....

But his next mission changes everything as his bounty is possibly the cutest creature in the galaxy — Grogu (known affectionately to the world as Baby Yoda). As Mando and Grogu form a close bond, they set out to right the wrongs caused by a growing evil empire, beset on taking over the galaxy once more....

​​Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and not only has become an instant hit, but also hasn’t left its orbit of popularity for the last 4 decades. Though just like all the massively successful projects, it was a great risk at its time and got turned down several times by the Hollywood giants. Sci-fi was not a new thing in the 1970s, yet it mostly was represented by dystopian and dark plots....

That’s why it’s surprising that Nintendo Switch offers so few Star Wars game titles. That said, the ones that do exist are pretty fantastic. Whether it’s a LEGO game, an RPG or a first-person shooter, the Star Wars games by Nintendo Switch consistently offer captivating storylines, varied and fantastic game mechanics, and all the quality touches that make a game an immersive experience. However, not all Star Wars games are created equal, so I’ve hand-picked the ones I think are the best based on my experience playing these on my Switch....

And the pop culture tie-ins keep the Happy Meal forever fresh. Since the first one – the 1979 Star Trek Happy Meal – the themed toy-and-box set has been a newsworthy event. The Muppet Babies, Garfield, and Fraggle Rock all got the ‘little toy that never quite loses the scent of fries’ treatment in the 1980s. But TheToyZone reckons McDonald’s missed several essential ‘80s icons. From our Disney Villain Polly Pockets to the Netflix Originals we recreated with LEGO, nobody makes a pop culture sandwich quite like TheToyZone....

Nobody could fail to notice the 12-inch fashion doll when she transformed into a 50-foot woman on cinema screens around the world. But just to make sure, Mattel and Warner Bros. partnered with countless pop culture brands to put a splash of pink into everything from frozen yogurt to a Dreamhouse-shaped Xbox. And burgers. And skates. And baby clothes. And four-thousand-dollar couches. And candles, and toothbrushes… But while there were plenty of collabs with high street fashion brands, there was a distinct lack of luxury label crossovers....
