Novelty items are defined as things that don’t have a practical function. However, novelty toys for children offer hours of playtime even though they may not be as practical as clothing or school supplies. Of course, children prefer novelty toys, because they promise lots of fun and excitement. At License 2 Play, we love our collection of novelty toys, and we know your customers will love them, too.
Which Toys Are Great Novelty Toys?
Novelty toys are toys that are unique in some way. They could be exceptionally cute little keychains, fancy toy animals, or battery-operated playthings. They don’t have to be the opposite of classic toys, such as wooden blocks, but they have to offer something unique to the child that plays with them.
At License 2 Play, we love carrying the hottest toys of the year, including Shopkins, but we also pride ourselves in making cool wholesale novelty toys available to you. We’ll discuss some of these toys here, but feel free to browse our extensive selection for additional suggestions.

They react when you touch them or talk to them, coming to life with over 40 different animations. You’ll always know how they feel because they will let you know. They come in six different colors. Kids will love having these, especially if they have been wanting a pet for themselves. These little monkeys make great Christmas presents, too.
Chocolate Egg Surprise Maker
The chocolate egg surprise maker allows kids to make their very own chocolate eggs. These eggs aren’t ordinary treats, because they contain a surprise in addition to a sweet chocolate treat. Cooking and baking is a skill that children need to learn anyway. The chocolate egg surprise maker makes this so much fun that kids ages 5-10 will want to make these as a treat for their friends and family.
