Early Toy Gift Ideas

This Blog Post is sponsored by Walmart

The Holidays are right around the corner and the kids couldn't be more excited about receiving toys very early. Typically, I wait until a couple of weeks to start shopping for the kids, but this year I'm determined to get a jump start on it.

Walmart has all the top toys your kids can’t wait to unwrap, at low prices you need. Find low prices on amazing toys from brands like LEGO, Sesame Street, Cocomelon, Marvel, Barbie, Paw Patrol, Jurassic Park and so much more.

Below are my top toy picks, and I split them up into three categories: under $25, $25 - $100, and over $100.

I really hope this blog post helps with your holiday shopping! You can shop all these pieces and so much more online or in-store at your local Walmart! Happy Shopping!

Bunny Pinata

Who doesn’t love a pinata!? The best part is filling pinatas with candy and of course, eating it. This DIY Bunny Pinata that I'm sharing from (Lovely Indeed) is gonna keep you and your helper busy for a couple of hours.

Supplies

-Cardboard

-Scissors (Kid-friendly)

-Pencil

-Masking tape

-Crepe/tissue paper

-White Glue sticks

-Cardstock (Black, Pink and Tan)

Step by Step

1. You will need to cut out two bunny face shapes. Cut out one face first, then trace that one onto more cardboard and cut it out. Poke a hole through the top of each face piece so that you have a place to insert a rope for hanging the piñata.

2. Cut 4″ strips of cardboard for the edge of the piñata. Start by fitting them around one face piece, bending and molding them to the shape of the face. Then begin taping them together with strips of masking tape placed around the area where the edges meet.

3. Tape the other face piece in the same way so that you have a completed piñata shape. Leave a flap open on the top of one ear to be able to put candy and toys inside. Leave this flap untaped but able to tuck under the other side of the ear so that it looks closed.

4. Start to create fringe on your crepe paper or tissue paper. If you’re using tissue paper, you’ll need to cut it into strips first. Fold the strips accordion-style and use scissors to cut fringe on one side of the tissue paper, about halfway up the height of the paper. Then unfold and you should have a long strand of fringe.

5. Start covering your piñata! Start placing fringe at the bottom and work your way upward. Apply a line of glue stick down, place a row of fringe to it, and trim the ends so that they’re even with the edges of the piñata.

6. Add the face! Cut pink ears and glue them on the ear areas. Then two little black eyes. Use a tan oval for the mouth and cut a black nose, smile, and whiskers. Glue all these on with glue stick.

7. Fill with candy and toys through the flap in the ear and insert a rope through the holes in the upper head. Tie the rope at the top, toss one end over a tree limb, and let the kids go for it!
