Special section Hot holiday toys

Older kids can still find the "magic" in holiday toys with these technologically advanced treats.

Hot toys for ages 8 and up

Kids in this age group can explore a world of possibilities with these toys. They can fly or drive a radio-controlled vehicle and make it do stunts, conduct makeover experiments digitally or build and program their very own robot. Parents shopping for this age group can expect to spend $60 for a makeover game or radio-controlled vehicle, or $250 for a robot kit.

Some of the toys in the 3- to 7-year-old category might also interest an older child in the 8-and-up age group.
