When I was young, I was rarely far away from my Fisher-Price parking garage or the Chatter Telephone, but then again, Fisher-Price toys have been a part of almost every child’s life for more than 90 years now with their simple but fun toys helping kids develop and learn as well as using their imaginations.
Whether they’re playing with stacking toys or using Little People to act out their stories, there’s a toy for whatever young kids want to do. We’ve picked out the 30 best Fisher-Price toys for kids from babies to toddlers to school age, all the way up to 12 years old. There are smart cycles, kinderbots, tool belts, teethers, home office kits, Elsa from Frozen, and even Toy Story learning software.
Fisher-Price toys have been family favorites for decades because it’s a trustworthy brand, but we’ve still been careful to only pick out toys that have been given the thumbs-up by real people, eliminating all of the fake online reviews so that you rely on these toys.
What are the best Fisher Price toys?
1Fisher-Price - Rock-a-Stack, Bat-at Ring-Stacking Toy (Best Budget Option)
This classic Rock-a-Stack toy is a great gift for improving a baby’s hand-eye coordination. This stacking toy comes with a rocking base and five stacking rings in bright primary colors. The fifth ring has a clear casing with rattling beads inside. The rocking base wobbles around for an added fun feature.
What we love
- Babies delight in the fun of grasping, shaking, and stacking the rings that help to improve gross motor skills
- The vibrant, colorful stacking rings can be a useful tool in teaching the concept of color recognition
What We Don't Like That Much
- The detachable pole upon which the rings are stacked can come unscrewed during play, so we recommend double-checking it is tight
2Fisher-Price - Think & Learn Smart Cycle (Best Quality Option)
This awesome Smart Cycle is a children’s stationary bike with a tablet mount on the handlebars. Children can pedal for physical exercise, play games or watch videos on the tablet, and race at top speeds. You can download the free Smart Cycle Mission app so your child can ride along with pre-programmed workouts and play fun learning games too.
What we love
- The bike’s handlebars are moveable and adjustable which adds a fun steering element; a center-mounted joystick adds to the experience as well
- The seat and tablet mount are also adjustable which makes the experience comfortable and safe
What We Don't Like That Much
- Whilst red and white is a very fetching combination, we’d love to see other color combinations
3 Fisher-Price - Thomas & Friends Wood, Turnout Track Pack (Best Eco-Friendly Option)
Compatible with all Thomas & Friends wood train tracks and train toys, this set is an adapter pack of train tracks. This wood track pack includes six straight pieces, six curved track pieces, four turnout pieces, two ramps, and two adapter links. Made with high-quality, eco-friendly wood, this track pack will turn your child’s train track into a diverse and complex system.
What we love
- The turnout pieces allow children to customize train tracks and send their trains in different directions
- The connector and adapter pieces come in lovely pops of blue and red which give the natural wood tracks a touch of color
What We Don't Like That Much
- Adapters have to be used to connect to older tracks; if you have many of the older style tracks, you’ll need more than the two adapter links in this set
4Fisher-Price - Slow Much Fun Stroller Sloth
This adorable plush sloth is equipped with a stroller hook but can also be enjoyably played with out of the stroller as well. This portable toy has eight sensory features that fully engage and entertain your little one. The sloth’s hand can be pulled to see him climb back up his branch; it has a hanging, crinkly leaf and a dangling mirror.
What we love
- The sloth is outfitted with colorful features like a yellow flower atop its head and tag-like green leaves on the branch
- Your little one will enjoy finding his/her smiling reflection, much like the smile the sloth wears, in the mirror
What We Don't Like That Much
- The sloth is quite big and hangs low; young infants may not have the hand-eye coordination to move it away from his/her face
5Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn Smart Learning Home
This playhouse is a smart learning toy made for babies and toddlers. The free-standing playhouse is loaded with fun activities like a crawl-through door, porch light with a manual switch, open/close mailbox, backlit house numbers, ball drop rain gutters, and a shape-sorting recycling bin. There’s an office area with a thermostat, light, clock, and more.
What we love
- Features a kitchen area with a shape-sorter refrigerator and role-playing accessories like food, dishes, and fork/spoon
- The playhouse has 360 degrees of play space allowing your child to crawl to different stations, each of which features new activities
What We Don't Like That Much
- The refrigerator door is a little tricky to keep closed; you have to lift it a bit before closing in order for it to seal shut
6Fisher-Price - Tiny Treats Gift Set
These pretend food teething toys will help your little one beat the teething blues. Included in this three-pack are a pretzel, pizza slice, and taco, each made of BPA-free soft silicone. In addition to each toy’s teething component are other fun sensory features. The taco pretzel has gently textured salt nubs, the pizza slice has crinkly toppings, and the taco has a crinkle shell.
What we love
- The toys feature authentic-looking accents like vegetable toppings on the pizza slice and beans and cheese in the taco
- The pizza slice and taco also have textured ribbon tags giving them a multi-sensory experience
What We Don't Like That Much
- Although we love the ribbon tags, we wish they were a little longer; their short length makes it a little difficult for a baby to get a good grip
7Fisher-Price - Soothe 'n Snuggle Otter
This soothing plush snuggle buddy is sure to delight your little one. The musical otter plays sweet sounds and music for up to 30 minutes of comforting audio. What’s more, the otter mimics the rhythm of breathing which is a naturally soothing feeling for babies; it’s like the up and down of mommy or daddy’s chest while snuggling up for a nap.
What we love
- Additional awesome features include a soft light on the otter’s tummy and volume control
- This otter is machine-washable and dryable so long as the interior electronic components are removed
What We Don't Like That Much

8Fisher-Price - Sit-Me-Up Floor Seat
This supportive little floor seat is comfortable and fun for babies and convenient for parents. The seat supports infants sitting in the upright position and is donned with a precious frog theme. The seat is colorful and has two fun toys that link to the seat’s front; a crinkly butterfly and a red teether hang from the front for your baby’s amusement.
What we love
- The seat easily folds flat for convenient and compact storage; it’s also easy to travel with
- The seat pad can be removed and machine-washed; this is great for cleaning up spills and diaper messes
What We Don't Like That Much

9Fisher-Price - Coffee Cup Teether
Your little one will love joining mommy or daddy for a cup of joe. This adorable coffee cup teething toy is not only super cute but it will provide soothing relief to your baby as his/her first teeth come in. The white coffee cup features a realistic dome lid and an “FP” heat sleeve.
What we love

- Babies can look inside the cup to find a heart-shaped mirror swirling about; they’ll love finding their reflection in the mirror
What We Don't Like That Much

10Fisher-Price - Smart Stages Kick & Play Piano
This musical toy attaches to the foot of your baby’s crib making it a fun kick and play toy. The piano is brightly colored and made of soft fabric material for your baby’s comfort and safety. Your baby can kick or press the five piano keys to activate songs, sounds, and lights. The keys can also be used to play real music notes.
What we love
- As educational as it is fun; the songs review numbers, letters, shapes, colors, and animals
- This toy can be used out of the crib when your baby begins sitting up by him/herself
What We Don't Like That Much
- The piano affixes to the crib with four fabric ties; clever babies and toddlers may undo the ties
11Fisher-Price - My First Macaron
This sweet rattle is a series of three stacked pretend macarons. The macarons are lovely soft hues of green, pink, and yellow. Babies can shake the macarons for a fun jingle and clacking sound. The macarons hang from a soft ribbon, adding a tactile feature to this toy.
What we love
- The rattle is attached to a clip that can be hooked to strollers, car seats, and diaper bags, making this toy perfect for on-the-go
- The macarons are packaged in a sweet pastry box making this rattle excellent for gifting
What We Don't Like That Much
- The plastic material that the rattle is made from is very hard; as such teething on this toy should be discouraged
12Fisher-Price - Settle & Sleep Projection Soother
This soothing sound machine and projector are sure to help your little one get a sound night’s sleep. The machine plays lulling sounds and music while projecting colorful lights on the wall or ceiling. The sounds and lights will run for a full 30 minutes before powering off on their own
What we love
- For your convenience, the soother attaches to most cribs; from this vantage point babies can watch the movement of three cute animals on the machine’s front panel
- The sound, lights, volume, and timer are all completely customizable; one or all features can run together or alone
What We Don't Like That Much
- The big button on the front of the panel powers your settings on and off; babies may unwittingly turn off their sleep machine if it is within reach
13Fisher-Price - "My First Books”
This set of four toddler board books are sure to amuse your little one. Toddlers will engage with cute animals and images to learn their ABCs, colors, counting, and opposites. The colorfully illustrated books are sure to keep your child’s attention. The books are small in size and approximately 12 pages long, making them perfect for little ones to hold and read.
What we love
- Not only do these books introduce your little one to the joy of reading, but by learning to turn the pages on their own, fine motor skills are improved
- These books make excellent birthday gifts, stocking stuffers, and first birthday party favors
What We Don't Like That Much
- These books don't stand up well to moisture, so be sure to keep the books away from a drooling baby's mouth
14Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn Game Controller
This pretend video game controller will keep your little one busy for long periods. The controller has a light-up face and two musical settings. Babies can press the A-B-C-D shape buttons as well as the number pad and move the joystick to activate music, lights, phrases, and sounds.
What we love
- The famous “Konami Code,” used in real video games as a cheat code (if you know you know), can be used on this controller to activate a surprise
- The songs are educational while the use of the game controls improve hand-eye coordination
What We Don't Like That Much
- There isn’t a power button or volume controller so if tossed in a toy box or pinned under something else, the sound effects will play endlessly
15Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn Storybook Rhymes
This musical book features Fisher Prices’ popular Laugh & Learn Pals. These cute animals illustrate the book’s pages which introduce numbers, ABCs, words, shapes, colors, and counting. The book also plays six popular nursery rhymes. The colorful book has a plastic cover but the pages are made of an easy-to-flip soft plastic that can be simply wiped clean.
What we love
- The book features a carrying handle so baby can cart the book around the house as well as easily transport it while on-the-go
- Three big buttons along the side of the book activate the sounds; these buttons also light-up
What We Don't Like That Much
- The songs tend to play in tandem, we’d love to see the option to individually select songs to play
16Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn Light-up Learning Vacuum
This adorable toy vacuum will thrill your toddler as he or she tidies the house beside you. The powder blue, light-up vacuum is a push-toy that lights up and plays music. Your toddler can easily flip the big orange switch to activate or deactivate the music and lights.

This set of classic Fisher-Price pull-along toys is sure to wow your toddler. The set includes the iconic pull-along telephone, xylophone, and Dalmatian puppy.

What we love
- Each of the toys is made of heavy-duty plastic and is adorned in bright primary colors
- These toys allow toddlers to strengthen their balance skills as well as coordination skills as they pull toys around the house
What We Don't Like That Much

18Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn Magic Color Mixing Bowl
This adorable mixing bowl and coordinating accessories will make your toddler feel like a true pastry chef. The set includes the mixing bowl, measuring cups, a teething chocolate bar, a rattle egg, a milk bottle, cherries, and a spoon. The mixing bowl lights up and plays fun songs.
What we love
- The bowl plays audio clips that introduce concepts of numbers, letters, shapes, and measuring
- This set is a great gift for children who love to help mommy and daddy in the kitchen, but it eliminates the mess
What We Don't Like That Much

19Fisher-Price - Hello Sunshine Rattle Ball
Toddlers will love chasing this delightful rattle ball around the house. The clear ball houses a two-sided graphic of a sun and a rainbow as well as colorful rattle beads. Babies can sit and roll the ball, crawl after the rolling ball, or shake it for the amusing rattle sounds.
What we love
- The ball is a little smaller than a standard children's soccer ball; as such, it's the perfect size for little hands to play with
- The encapsulated sun has a sweet smiling face, while the juxtaposed rainbow has a cloud at each end depicting more amiable faces
What We Don't Like That Much
- The ball is hard and heavy so throwing it, which toddlers are inclined to do, results in loud banging
20Fisher-Price - Laugh & Learn 3-in-1 Smart Car
Your kiddo will be riding in style in this 3-in-1 Smart Car. The car is a ride-on whose body is a beautiful red; it’s equipped with a bright green push handle.

What we love
- The light effects encourage the baby to walk and scoot; they only activate when the pony is in motion
- The front of the pony has sliding rattle toys; your toddler will have just as much fun playing in front of the pony as he/she will have riding it
What We Don't Like That Much
- We wish the horse’s wheels were equipped with rubber grips; as they are, they offer very little traction

What we love
- Each of the characters has an authentic look, totally representative of his or her movie character
- These characters will fit in any Little People toys like the Frozen Arendelle Winter Wonderland
What We Don't Like That Much
