Summer Toys from The Toy Maven Southlake

Summer is the ultimate time when kids can be kids, and what better way for kids to be kids than playing with some of the most fun summer toys from The Toy Maven Southlake at the Shops of Southlake. Here are some of our favorite summer toys at The Toy Maven Southlake.

LEGOs

Starting off our list are the always-timeless LEGOs. Literally giving your children the building blocks of imagination, The Toy Maven Southlake has a wide variety of LEGO kits from predesigned ideas with instructions to boxes full of LEGOs that your child can just start building with. LEGOs are the perfect summer toys because they can be made inside when it’s really hot outside, and then once it cools off in the evening, they can go play outside with what they created!

Hot Wheels

What better way for your kids to spend the day than trying to create the most intricate hot wheels track in the house and then testing all their cars to see which one can go further or faster? It doesn’t matter whether you have daughters, sons or both, every sibling loves a good little rivalry about who has the better car or who can build a better track.

Action Figures & Dolls

For more freeform indoor play during these scorching summer months, you can never go wrong with their favorite character’s action figure or doll. If you’re wanting your kids to play outside more, then acting figures and dolls are also great summer toys because they can easily be taken outside for some outdoor exploring, pretending to tend to the garden or having a super hero battle.

Robotics

For your older children that still love putting things together but want something a little more advanced than LEGOs, The Toy Maven Southlake also has robotic kits. Your child can put together their own robot and then have endless amounts of fun playing with it in and around the house.

Make sure your kids are having a blast this summer, and pick them up a couple of summer toys at The Toy Maven Southlake at The Shops of Southlake.
