You can also investigate Amazon Instant Video, for rental of these movies, which makes for an easy, spur-of-the-moment movie night theme.

Andy's Toys Gift Pack is exclusive to Target this year. However, with the relationship between Target and Amazon, you will find it possible to order this exclusive Toy Story Set through Amazon, fulfilled by Target.

Please note that the super saver/Amazon Prime option is not available on Target fulfilled purchases through Amazon. However, for someone spending their Amazon Gift Cards earned through various point programs online, such as Swagbucks and others, this may be a great option.

For young children, a set of Toy Story figures is a great way to provide hours of playtime fun. Imaginations will soar, right along with Buzz! Amazon offers several sets, aside from the Target exclusive, some of which are eligible for super saver and/or Prime shipping.

 For your kinesthetic, or hands on, learner, building sets, or sets of pieces that go together, and come apart again, are great learning activities, and super gift giving options.  Working with the hands is the forté of the tactile learner, and these types of toys are favorites.  Also great for visual learners, who are great at seeing patterns and designs, manipulatives allow them to put together what they envision.  Don't discount the auditory learner, who will equally enjoy such activities,

 Mr. Potato Head is a classic toy from my childhood, fun for toddlers, and manipulative in nature, perfect for little hands of learners of any style, as it allows manual dexterity to develop, while identification of parts of the face takes on great and silly fun, especially when humorous Moms and Dads put eyes where ears should be, lips where noses belong, and so forth.

It's a blast to watch a set of elementary or pre-school aged boys playing with a talking Buzz Lightyear, and the resounding "To Infinity and Beyond" is great.  Talking toy characters from Toy Story movies have been a hit for years, and are always in style for your early elementary aged children, and pre-schoolers, as well.

 Toy Story Pez dispensers are fun for stocking fillers, age appropriately, of course, as the small, hard candies are not well suited to smaller children.  Use your judgement for the toddler, elementary or college aged kids should love to find these in their stocking, come Christmas morning.

Pretend play, based on favorite characters, is a favorite pastime of childhood.  Almost any of the Toy Story selectiions highlighted here can be a fun part of that type of imaginative play. 

Additionally, these favorite characters have been incorporated into video games, and learning software, for additional enjoyment in the electronics environment.  As a mom of 8 children, I don't like to involve my children in mindless video game activity.  However, LeapFrog learning systems and software are great for reinforcing learning concepts, whether numerical, or language.  I have always found LeapFrog products to be engaging, rather than mindless, and therefore have high regard for the brand.  If you want to cater to your youngster's movie interests, learning games from LeapFrog for Leapster, or Tag Story systems, are a great selection.
