NEW YORK, NY — From outdoor water play and active toys to creative art kits and family games for rainy days, 25 of the hottest toys and games of the season as voted on by top-tier toy and family content creators were unveiled on May 22 just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

“The ‘Best of Spring & Summer 2024 Influencer Choice List’ brings together the best of both worlds: the top toy picks from esteemed influencers and reliable brands that parents can trust to bring their kids endless fun all summer long,” said Adrienne Appell, executive vice president of marketing communications at The Toy Association. “As families are eager to kick off the summer season, they’re sure to find something to fit every age and interest, whether it’s a new outdoor staple, travel-ready game, or creative toys that will keep minds sharp over summer vacation.”
