1. A set ofsensory tubes that make a popping sound when pulled and a crunching sound when they're pushed back together — it'll delight kids of all ages and annoy most adults (haha). Pick your battles — would you rather whining kids or entertained ones who aren't pestering you so you can unload the dishwasher real quick? I'd choose the latter.

My kids have these sensory tubes and I often find myself absentmindedly playing with them. They're very satisfying to push and pull, despite the somewhat annoying sound they make. Both my toddler and my baby love them! My daughter chews on them (that's fine, right?) and my son loves wiggling them around like worms. They're a simple toy that gets the job done.

Promising review: "My toddler daughter is gonna love these tubes, but grandpa is gonna be annoyed by the noise. Haha. Good quality toy." —Sheena

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three sizes).

2. Silly Poopy's Hide and Seek — which is pretty much exactly what you'd think it is. It's a rainbow-colored, light-up poop-shaped toy littles can take turns hiding throughout the house. It'll shout out clues and play a song when it's finally found!

Promising review: "This game is HILARIOUS. My kids love playing with it and taking turns hiding it (8, 6, and 3 years). They all think poop is funny and run around yelling 'Silly Poopy, where are you?' It keeps them busy for at least half an hour at a time and they leave me alone. Also? It's pretty durable. I found it outside in my garden in the 20-degree winter weather. I guess my 8-year-old left it out there for a few days. It also gets thrown down the stairs and Silly Poopy just keeps on giggling and having fun." —Adele

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
