Here are a few wish-list favs to get you started:

Looking for ways to make learning fun? It’s Love2Learn Elmo to the rescue with his customizable app. Or, for a pint-sized serving of STEM (that’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and a huge focus for Target), wrap up the Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-A-Pillar for your little one.

If your kiddo’s Our Generation doll is along for every adventure, they’ll scream with delight over our Target-exclusive ice cream truck.
