Best Toddler Toys for 2015

We've never met a talking toy like this: Speak into Fisher-Price Dance & Move BeatBo and he repeats your phrase to a danceable beat. It's hysterical!  $40

For five of the last six years, this guy has made our list! The 2015 Playskool Play All Day Elmo knows when he's hugged or bounced, and leads games like "Red Light, Green Light," $60

We like a sports set that doesn't require much adult help, and the Chicco Fit & Fun Mini Golf set delivers. Even tiny tots were able to sink a ball by themselves, $25

Pop-open playhouses abound, but we love this variation: Haba Croco Kuno Dragon Crawling Tunnel, which had testers wiggling and giggling right through, $70

Kids gravitate toward kitchen toys, and LeapFrog Number Lovin' Oven bakes math into the fun with food divided into fractions plus phrases about time and temperature, $25

The caboose transforms into a separate wagon that your toddler can push or pull on the updated VTech Sit-to-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train, and new counting, time, and letter games make this one educational ride, $50
