I have always loved toy cars! Some of my best memories are using pull back cars back and forth with my little girl across the kitchen floor. Many of our all time favorite toys include some of the cars and other vehicles on this gift guide. This one is a fun one and we think you’re going to think so too!

Toy Cars for Toddlers

Easy to Grab Baby Car This car is perfect for your baby’s first toy car! It’s large and has easy to grab holes for your baby’s little hands.

Rubbabu Cars, Trains, and Planes We are absolutely loving these rubber cars. These cars are soft for your infant or toddler, while also still being able to roll fast across a hard surface.

Large Rocket Ship with Astronauts My 5 year old has loved this large rocket ship for years! The rocket comes with a rover and two astronauts. The rocket also opens up to reveal a mini kitchen, a bed, and the figures can attach within the rocket so they don’t fall out.

Ride on Car with Rainbow Ramp If I was creating a gift guide with toy cars for kids, I definitely had to add this one. Get ready for your toddler and preschooler to ride this ramp over and over again! This ride on car is a lot of fun.

Cars the Movie Character Racers also get Launching Mack Transporter My nephew can vouch for these cars! If you have a child who is a Cars movie lover, these are sure to be a hit! The best toy cars for kids!

Hot Wheels Mickey Mouse Characters I love the hot wheels character cars! They are still your favorite hot wheels with a fun design twist to make it look like some of your favorite characters.

Wooden Cars For Toddlers

Interactive Dashboard Steering Wheel Your car lover is going to absolutely love this dashboard and steering wheel. This dashboard has lights, moving parts, sounds and key.

Fagus Wooden Cars I have always been a big fan of these large functional wooden cars. These are the bset toy cars that will last decades while provide yourself, children, and your grandchildren endless amount of play time fun. Use discount code: purposefultoys10 site wide (excludes Maileg and Stapelstein).

Guidecraft Large Police Car I love this large wooden police car. The opening is large enough for little hands to easily carry while also being big enough for adding in small figures and peg dolls as the drivers.

Plan Toys Flexible Wooden Car This is another fun baby car. When your child squeezes the car together and releases the car moves on its own without requiring the push action that many infants have not yet mastered. Your little crawler can then get the car and watch it go again.

Wooden Car with Peg Dolls This small wooden car comes with two peg dolls and is the perfect car to add right along with their block play or to use with their magnetic tiles car tracks.

Monster Truck Favorites

Mini Monster Jam 12 Pack These mini monster trucks are so much fun! They are small enough to bring along as you travel or throw in your diaper bag for on the go. They can even be used in the bath tub! I was actually surprised how much all of my girls loved these ones when their cousin brought them on our family vacation.

Monster Jam Mega Grave Digger This car drives on water! It’s so cool and comes as one of your child’s favorite monster trucks, Grave Digger!

Monster Truck Push and Go 4 pack I love push and go cars and this 4 pack is a perfect start to your car collection. The perfect toy cars for kids to add to your collection!

Dinosaur Pull Back Cars These dinosaur cars are absolutely adorable for your dinosaur lover. If your child loves dinosaurs and cars these guys are a double bonus.

Unique Toy Car Picks

Glow in the Dark Car Track We love these flexible car tracks and my girls could watch the cars go all day long! This one is especially fun because of the bright neon colors, and it even glows in the dark!

Color Changing Hot Wheels Okay how fun are these?! These hot wheels change color depending on when they are in hot or cold water! The best toy cars for kids!

Magna-Tiles Cars and Magnetic Roads I’m a big fan of magnetic tiles and continue to buy more because the more you have, the more possibilities and builds you can create! These magnetic roads are so much fun and the perfect addition to your magnetic tiles.

Sonic the Hedgehog Remote Control Car This remote control car is only $20 and even has a little Sonic the Hedgehog driver.

Flexible Blue Track This big car track is perfect for down the stairs, a hill or up and over the couch! We love pulling out our blue track for the perfect entertainment when my girls are home from school or we’re inside due to weather.

Hot Wheels Racetrack This race track is a must have for your car lovers. You can place multiple hot wheels cars on this track at a time so they can race to see what car wins! This one is perfect for a couple of children to play together.

Car Track Play Carpet I love the designs of this play carpet! It’s easy to roll up and store, and pull out when you want a fun small world scene. We also love to add in Playmobil dolls and other small world toys such as wooden trees and mini food. Use discount code RyLee15 site wide.

Ride In Electric Car Want an electric car that doesn’t break the bank? Look no further! I always wanted to get one of these for my girls, but always hesitated due to cost, until we found this one! My girls love the music and driving around our backyard or on the side walks. This car is a single rider even though it appears to be two seats.

Unique Wooden Cars

Fast Wooden Pull Back Cars These wooden pull back cars are extremely fast! They are chunky and super durable as well. We love these toy cars for kids and their fun colors.

Hand Painted Rocket with Peg Doll Obsessed is an understatement for me on this one. It’s a rocket that doubles as art and a toy I love to display when the girls aren’t using it. The same maker also has an airplane, alien, and mushroom house with added wooden peg dolls.

Mini Food Trucks Candylab Toys are another personal favorite and had to be on my Toy Cars for Kids gift guide. These wooden cars have the cutest designs and we love adding these food trucks in to our small world play. They also fit perfectly on our IVI3D Play Carpet roads. Use discount code purposefultoys15 site wide!

Plan Toys Wooden Parking Garage If you’re looking for a quality parking garage that is also beautiful, this one is it! The parking garage comes with a helicopter and landing pad in addition to characters and mini cars (fyi, the mini cars are one of my favorites to use on the Blue Track).
