Birthday Gifts on Walmart That Will Thrill Any Kid
Thanks to only-at-Walmart toys from top brands like Peppa Pig and LEGO, you’ll be prepared for every party invitation.
It’s the first thought that pops into your head when you click “Yes, will attend” on an email invitation: “What should I get as a present?” There’s no need to text the birthday kid’s mom for ideas, or to ask your child what their friend likes. (Chances are, the answer will be “recess” or “pizza” anyway.) Instead, just head to Walmart, which is stocked with exclusive items from major brands that will delight any kind of kid.
For little ones, there are only-at-Walmart exploratory toys from Wonder Factory, talking (and dancing!) characters from Bluey and giggling, oinking Peppa Pig dolls. For kids a little older, choose from Minecraft or Jurassic Park LEGOs and realistic-looking food kits from Slime Life. Then there are affordable crowd-pleasers that will thrill kids of any age. (Could anything be more exciting than never-dry sand?)
An added bonus: Because it’s Walmart, you know you’re always getting the best value at the lowest price. So nab a gift or two for every age group and store them in a closet — so the next time an invite arrives in the mail, all you have to do is wrap.
What do preschoolers love more than watching Bluey? Playing in Bluey’s world. Press Muffin’s nose and she talks back in her signature voice — this beloved character finds the letter R rather “twicky.” Spitting out 10 phrases ranging from a quick “Hiii!” to “I’m the flamingo queen” (IYKYK), this Muffin is ready to chat and play.
All Peppa Pig fans know that Mummy and Daddy Pig welcomed new baby Evie in June. Now everyone else can, too; this cuddly doll version of Peppa’s little sister is only at Walmart, and she’s ready for hours of playing “family.” Kids can feed Evie with the bottle in the set, rest her on the included playmats, give her a “dummy” (that’s British for pacifier) and bounce her up and down to hear her adorable giggles and oinks. It’s the perfect gift not just for Peppa fans, but for any child with a new or upcoming sibling.
Give kids hours of tactile fun with this bestselling set. Whether they use the funky animal-shaped stamps or the patterned rollers on the sheets of colorful dough, it’s a surefire way to spark young imaginations.
Imaginext Jurassic World Rebirth Sprinting Spinosaurus Dinosaur Toy
The Jurassic movies appeal to adventurers of all ages — and these exclusive-to-Walmart toys do, too. Kids will love watching this dino sprint, chomp, and lunge, bringing the thrill of the big screen straight to their living room. Gift this to kids with big imaginations, or those who need a little help fine-tuning their small motor skills.
Any kid who loves Steve, the Creeper and the zombies that populate the world of Minecraft will go crazy for this only-at-Walmart LEGO set. But you don’t have to be a fan of the game to see what’s so cool about this kit. It lets kids build a TNT-shaped house, then flip a switch so that the walls “collapse” as it blows up. The fun continues as they get to build it all over again.
An entire adventure is contained in this single (and affordable!) LEGO set: It comes with Jedi Master Plo Koon complete with glowing light saber, his loyal droid companion and their starship. Kids can build them and take them on imaginary adventures — and when their next birthday rolls around, you can gift them another LEGO in the Star Wars series, adding to their collection.
Two of the biggest trends in tweendom — kawaii and ASMR — come together in one supersweet slime kit. The first — the Japanese word for “cute”— doesn’t begin to describe the realistic-looking ice cream cone kids can build out of the slime ice cream, waffle cone, syrup and toppings. ASMR, which refers to the tingling reflex people get from sensory stimulations, comes in when they stretch, smash and squish the slimy cone. And all the “ingredients” of the cone come in their own packages, allowing kids to participate in another favorite tween pastime: unboxing. Get the cameraphone ready!
Building the dinosaur from the beloved movie is just the start of the fun. Thanks to its articulated body, kids can also move its fins and tails and chomp its jaw. The set also comes with a boat and two coral reefs, making it easy to re-create scenes from the movie by positioning the Mosasurus within the movie’s “set.” Older kids can download the LEGO app for guidance on building, and to zoom in and rotate models in 3D — just like a real director.
