On an excitement scale of 0 to 10, kids during the holidays are at an 11. If you celebrate Christmas, you know the anticipatory thrill of seeing presents pile up under the tree — and know just how impossible it is to sleep on Christmas Eve. The same goes for kids whose family celebrates Hanukkah or Kwanzaa: Prepare for the wrapping paper to be torn to shreds as soon as you hand over your gifts.

So the big question remains: What are you going to give? Whether you are looking for STEM toys to foster development and growth, something snuggly, a way to get creative, or simply occupy a kid’s mind for hours, Walmart has you covered offering literally hundreds of gifts for kids of all ages. Rounded up here are 15 of the best to consider — and luckily, you can still get them in time for Christmas.
