YoYo.com’s Top 35 Educational Toy List for 2014

by Senior Reviewer Maytal Wichman

When it comes to holiday shopping for my kids, nephews and nieces it’s a challenge to try and come up with the perfect toys for each child. Leaving my holiday shopping to one afternoon at the store is not smart – I get lost in a sea of toys and end up getting something on a whim that’s not necessarily a great buy. One rule of thumb I use is to try to find a toy that’s also educational, but that still means I have a ton to choose from. Luckily the folks at YoYo.com have done the job for me: they’ve gone through thousands of toys and created a list of the top 35 educational toys for kids from infants to 9 years old.

The Top 35 Hot Toy List from YoYo.com includes a mix of toys from popular brands, as well as boutique brands at various price points. Orders of $49 or more get a FREE 1-2 day delivery, with a flat fee of $5.99 on orders under $49. Check out the list below – I’ve already seen at least 3 or 4 from each section that I want to get.
