Dollar Tree Stocking Stuffers
Why Dollar Tree Stocking Stuffers?
The price of most toys has gotten absolutely insane! When every single toy costs 20 dollars or more it makes it hard to fill a stocking.
I have had a ton of success finding toys my kids love solely from the dollar store! That way I have more to spend on the rest of their presents while still having the fun of a stocking. Here are a few of my Dollar Tree stocking stuffers favorites!
1. Crayola Bath Tub Finger Paint
Bath time can go one of two ways, it can be fun for both you and your kids or you can both end bath time in tears. This bath tub finger paint makes bath time fun for everybody and it’s super easy to wash off!
2. Sensory Squeeze & Pop Toy
Sensory toys and fidget toys are all the rage right now. While many fidget toys are unnecessarily expensive, you can easily find fun sensory toys at the Dollar Tree. These poppers are great Dollar Tree stocking stuffers for kids big and small!
3. Ninja Wall Crawlers
My toddler absolutely loves these Ninja Wall Crawlers. They are squishy and meant to be thrown, what’s not to love. If you also have a toddler that loves chucking everything and anything, these might be a win for their stocking this year too.
4. Scratch Art paper
This one is a great stocking stuffer for art lovers and older kids. These scratch art papers used to keep me entertained for hours when I was kid!
5. Character Night Lights
These little night lights are both practical and fun! I was amazed at the large number of characters I found in the night lights at our Dollar Tree! There were tons of Disney princesses and super heros to choose from! Hopefully you can find your kids’ favorites!
6. Growing Wash Cloth
If you never had a growing wash cloth as a kid, you may need to grab a couple extra for you too! When you put these underwater, they will expand from 2 inches to 11 or 12 inches! These are another great way to make bath time fun!
7. Light Up Top
Tops are one of the most simple, old fashioned toys but man are they fun! They are great Dollar Tree stocking stuffers for your kids, but they are also great for husbands too!
8. Bubble Snap Sensory Toy
These bubble snap toys are great fidget toys to add into your stocking stuffers this year. You’ll probably end up wanting one too once you play with theirs.
9. Mini Loom Bracelet Maker
My nieces and nephews love making these rubber band bracelets! This starter kit from Dollar Tree is only $1.25 and will let your kids try out this fun new craft to see if they love it too!
10. Suncatchers
Dollar Tree has a pretty decent craft section if you ask me. The sun catchers came in tons of different designs and are a super easy crafts for kids of all ages!
11. Doctor's kit
While a doctor’s kit might not normally be a stocking stuffer, this mini doctor’s kit is an adorable addition to their stocking.
12. Glow Bracelets
Dollar Tree has both glow bracelets and different glow swords. Regardless of which you end up choosing, what kid doesn’t love something that glows.
13. Magic Water Painting
While this magic water painting book isn’t the quality of the Melissa & Doug Water Wow booklets, it is definitely a good deal for an eighth of the price! This one will be in my toddler’s stocking this year!
14. Modeling Dough & Molds
Playdough is a whole lot more fun with molds. The fact that you can get both at once for $1.25 is definitely a stocking stuffer win.
15. Hand Clapper
The classic hand clapper toy. While I’m sure I’ll regret this one later, I can’t wait to take these along with us to a few football games!
16. Hot Wheels & Car Tracks
Hot Wheels are the perfect Dollar Tree stocking stuffers! Every little boy needs a few hot wheels cars and a race track. I was honestly impressed by the large amount of options for both Hot Wheels and Match Box cars I found at Dollar Tree! This is a super cheap way to expand their car collection.
17. Car Carrier
If you give a toddler a few hot wheels cars, he will need a way to transport them all! This adorable car carrier is the perfect solution!
18. Foot Pump Car
This foot pump car is super easy to work, making it a fun stocking stuffer gift for really little kiddos.
19. Echo Mic
My toddler lives to find an echo in a room. If your toddler does this too, this echo mic is the perfect toy.
20. Globbie Squish Man
Definitely make sure this squish man doesn’t go to a little one who may try to eat it since it is filled with gel beads. But this is a great toy or fidget for older kids.
21. Slime
You either have to make slime or buy slime, but slime will always be in your house and in your hair if you’re a mom.
22. Mini Nerf Gun or Cap Shooter
Every little boy needs a Nerf gun on Christmas. These mini ones are a super cheap option that they will love in their stocking.
23. Wall Walking Bugs
These wall walking bugs are very similar to the wall walking Ninjas, just with a little leaf wand to fling it up onto the wall. It comes in a few different bugs too.
24. Finger Shooters
If we are honest, your husband will probably enjoy these finger shooters the most but the kids will love them too!
25. Water Ring Game
As soon as I saw this water ring game, I thought back to the many McDonald’s toys I loved as a kid. Even though McDonald’s doesn’t make them anymore, you can now get them at Dollar Tree and let your kids enjoy it too!
This post was all about the top Dollar Tree stocking stuffers I’ve found. I hope these 25 items have helped you get a few ideas for your stockings this year and ultimately save you some money too! Don’t forget to cross everything off your Christmas bucket list in the mean time!
