NEW YORK, May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Toy Insider, one of the toy industry's most influential organizations and a trusted go-to resource for parents and gift-givers, released its 2020 Spring & Summer Gift Guide online today at thetoyinsider.com. With nearly 230 toys across eight different categories, The Toy Insider's guide highlights the latest and greatest in toys that energize, teach and keep kids busy; screen-free activities and games to help pass the time; outdoor options for some much-needed fresh air; and water toys that are sure to make a splash.
Many families are finding their summer plans changing due to Coronavirus travel restrictions, social distancing concerns and economic challenges. The Toy Insider introduced two new categories to its gift guide, Activities & Games and Budget-Friendly Faves, to better serve the needs of families while keeping kids engaged and entertained this summer.
"With social distancing in place and so many traditional summer activities on hold, play is more important now than ever," says Marissa DiBartolo, Editor-in-Chief of The Toy Insider. "With the right toys, games, and activities, parents can keep their cool this summer—literally and figuratively—without hearing 'I'm bored!' all day long. Even if this summer won't be exactly what you envisioned with vacations and summer camp, these must-haves can help keep the fun going all season long!"
Top trends in this year's summer toys include budget-friendly toys that won't break the bank, outdoor toys that get kids up and active, and in-depth toys and activities that keep kids engaged for long periods of time. The guide is filled with plenty of toys from kids' favorite films and TV shows, including Ryan's Mystery Playdate, PJ Masks, SCOOB! and The Mandalorian.
Never separated by gender, The Toy Insider's gift guide is broken down by play category and age group—from infants to tweens. Each category includes a variety of products across a wide range of price points, from puzzles and games under $10 to splurge-worthy backyard staples:
The Toy Insider team comprises a panel of industry experts who review thousands of products throughout the year. The team reviews each product to evaluate its features and overall value, taking into consideration five main criteria: play value, originality, skill building, product integrity, and fun factor. In addition to the Spring & Summer Gift Guide, the Toy Insider reviews toys 365 days a year.
