What makes a grandparent’s house special? The love inside, first of all, but also the aroma of fresh-baked treats, the artifacts of family history, and the really cool toys. Before your grandkids come for their next stay with you, whether it’s for a week, a night, or an afternoon, consider picking up one or more of these inviting, brand-new toys, games, or goodies.

Our editors tested samples from some of the best game makers in the business to put together this list of what’s hot, what’s adorable, and, most important, what kids of all ages will love.
