The Best Toys for 8 + year olds: Holiday Gift Guide 2022

Right around this age is when shopping for kids gets a bit challenging. There are the presents you want to give them vs. the gifts they want. Some (kids) say they want something simple, like a book (yay); some say money (excuse me) or some extravagant toy. How and whatever you gift them is something you know best. What we know best is how to share a curated list of the hot toys we hope they (and you) will like. Here are 8 we love for this age category!

CLUE: Squishmallows Board Game

We love it when a favorite game we grew up with switches it up.
In CLUE: Squishmallows, up to six players can take on the roles of Leonard, Cam, Lola, and more to investigate a fabulous mansion to figure out who may be the mac n’ cheese thief. $45, Ages 8&up, amazon.com.

Super Mario Brothers Wonder

This game takes classic Mario side-scrolling gameplay to another level with the addition of Wonder Flowers. Kids will love that these game-changing items activate spectacular moments like pipes coming alive, floating through outer space, wreaking havoc as a giant Spike-Ball, and seeing even more unexpected events called Wonder effects. Kids will also love that they can choose from the largest cast of characters in a side-scrolling Mario game, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy and Toads. Families will enjoy being able to team up with up to three friends locally and gather around one Nintendo Switch system to experience the game-bending Wonder effects together as you tackle courses as a team and help each other on your way to the Goal Pole, working together or turning a course into a friend race to finish first!

Monopoly Chance

The Monopoly Chance game is the new, high-stakes, card-flipping version of the beloved MONOPOLY game. It is a unique and colorful spin on the classic and busy families will love that it only takes about 20 minutes to play! Kids will love that instead of moving a token around the board, each player receives a token deck with Cash cards, Bankrupt cards, and strategic cards that lend an edge like the “Nope” card. Roll the die and flip over up to that many cards. Play it safe and flip over just enough cards to “cash out” or risk it all for the big bucks. Just beware of the dreaded Bankrupt card! Players compete to buy properties around the board by putting Cash cards on property spaces and sometimes over other players’ Cash but only those with the top card at the end of the round will own that property and get to add one of its buildings to their skyline. At the end of the game, the player with the longest skyline wins. Ages 8+, $14.99, amazon.com.

Faction Skyfire Target Drone
