Your rising kindergartener may be little, but the truth is there’s a lot of little things in the world that are absolutely fascinating. With this quick-release critter catcher, complete with magnifying lens, they’ll have an opportunity to get up close and personal with nature.

Preloaded with 20 educational apps, this tablet is a great summer resource to keep your kiddo entertained and learning. It even comes with three months of LeapFrog Academy, an interactive learning program. And since it’s appropriate for learners from 3 to 8 years, your child will get years of use out of this educational toy.

This 33-piece set includes 18 different musical toys that will give your child a solid foundation in music education. From a xylophone to tambourines, bells, and maracas, they’ll have fun grooving their way to kindergarten.
