The official toy shelf, ages 0 to 5+

Toys that grow up with your kid

We are Fisher-Price. Since 1930 our play lab in East Aurora has been building rattles, ramps and whole little worlds, then handing them to actual babies and preschoolers to see what sticks. This catalog is every current favorite in one place, sorted by age and by the way your kid likes to play.

Sorted by age, honestly

Every toy here carries the age our play lab tested it at, not a number picked for the box.

Built to survive toddlers

Chunky parts, no sharp corners, plastic that shrugs off a fall down the stairs.

Play that does something

Stacking teaches order, pretend play teaches talking. We design for both, on purpose.

Easy on the grown-ups

Volume switches, wipe-clean surfaces and songs you will not mind hearing again.

The ones parents keep buying

Most reviewed toys across the whole catalog. If a million households can agree on anything, it is these.

Tested on the floor

Prototypes go straight into our play lab where real kids grab, chew and throw them. The toy ships when it survives.

Age labels that mean it

Our age marks come from watching hundreds of kids at each stage, so a 6-month toy actually works for 6-month hands.

Made to be handed down

Rock-a-Stack turned 60 and still tops registries. We build toys the second and third kid will use too.

How we would pick, in three moves

  1. Start with the age. Not the birthday coming up, the one your kid is at right now. Toys pitched a year ahead mostly gather dust.
  2. Watch how they already play. A thrower needs balls and ramps, a talker needs figures and playsets. The toy should feed the habit that is already there.
  3. Check the reviews, then stop. Two or three well-loved options beat twenty open tabs. Pick one, wrap it, done.

Keeping toys in the game

Do

  • Wipe plastic toys with mild soapy water and let them dry before the next round.
  • Pull batteries out of anything going into storage for more than a month.
  • Rotate toys in and out of a closet. Old toy plus two weeks away equals new toy.
  • Keep the small Imaginext accessories in a zip bag between missions.

Do not

  • Run electronic toys through the dishwasher or washing machine, speakers hate it.
  • Leave plush friends in a hot car, glue and stuffing both complain.
  • Mix dead and fresh batteries in one toy, it drains the new ones fast.
  • Hand a 3-year set to a baby because a sibling got bored of it.

Why we still do this

A kid who is playing is a kid who is learning, and neither of them should feel like work. That has been the whole idea since Herman Fisher and Irving Price started gluing wooden ducks to pull strings in 1930. We make toys for the floor, the crib rail, the back seat and the bathtub, and we test them with the toughest reviewers on earth: one-year-olds.

Reading the catalog like we do

Our catalog runs from a $1 board book to a $280 collector set, and the fastest way through it is the age plus shelf combination. The shelves below are the same ones our play lab uses internally: they group toys by what a kid does with them, not by what aisle a store would file them in. A shape sorter and a stacking ring live together because both are about ordering the world with your hands.

Two shelves deserve a special word. Little People is the longest-running neighborhood in toys, chunky figures sized for a toddler fist since 1959. Imaginext is its older sibling, built for preschoolers who want a villain, a trap door and a plan. If your kid narrates while playing, they are ready for one of these two.

Where to start

Expecting or gifting for a newborn: the Newborn & Soothe shelf, then a plush friend for the crib-side chair. First birthday: Stack & Sort plus something from Crawl & Walk. Preschooler you cannot surprise anymore: open Imaginext and pick the set with the most buttons. Or skip the reading and let the age finder do this for you.

Overheard from the grown-ups

The farm playset has been the 7 am babysitter for a year now. My coffee gets drunk hot because a cow goes moo.
Dana, mom of a 2-year-old
I bought the stacking rings out of nostalgia and my son ignored the box they came in. That is how you know a toy is good, the box lost.
Marcus, dad of one
Third kid, same Little People bus, still going. The wheels have outlasted two strollers and my patience.
Priya, mom of three

Okay, recess is over

Somewhere in these 568 toys is the one your kid will drag around until the paint wears off. Two clicks and we will find it together.
