What Are The Hot Gifts For Kids This Holiday Season?

Gifts For Kids This Holiday Season

Every Christmas has a few hot toys and gifts for kids. Here, we take a look at some of the best toys this holiday season.

USA Today provides a list of the best gifts to get for each age range, starting with a book subscription for kids through 10 years old.

For younger kids who range from 6 months old to about two years old, there is a talking cookie jar, cars that zoom, big blocks and a zoo playset.

Kids that are four or five years old, the "Rainbocorn" is big as is the "Giant Hatchimal."

For older kids, instant cameras are a great gift idea and keep kids off the cell phone for a time. Also recommended for kids in the 7- or 8-year-old range is a gravity-powered marble run as well as a roller coaster builder and matchbox and hot wheels cars still rule for young boys and even girls.

The video below takes a look at some other fun toys for kids this year.  the Bunch O' Balloons Party Stacker Pack (which inflates 40 balloons in 40 seconds). Lego's Hidden Side combines Legos and augmented reality. Pop Pops combine bubble wrap popping, slime, and hunting for hidden treasure, and there's a new collapsable Razor scooter.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
