Vroom, zoom. If your child lines up toy cars, points at every truck on the road and makes engine noises all day, a car gift is an easy win. Here is how to make it one they will keep coming back to.
Every gift below comes from our Driving Dream world, so the book, the puzzle and the coloring roll all tell the same story.
1. A personalized race car storybook starring your child
Each night, as the real world fades, the racetrack lights up and your child takes the wheel in a dream adventure made for little speed lovers.
You type their name and build a character that looks like them: skin tone, hair color and style, eye color and shape. As you choose, you see your child appear on the pages before you order. It is a 34-page hardcover, printed just for them. Personalize the Driving Dream book.
2. A pop-up puzzle that turns into a playset
This is not a flat puzzle. As your child fits the 40 pieces together, cars and racers lift off the track, and 10 stand-up figures turn the finished picture into a 3D world they can play in and rebuild again and again. It is about 20 × 15 inches when complete and great for ages 3 and up. See the puzzle.
3. A 30-foot coloring roll
One continuous roll full of cars, trucks, roads and racetracks. Unroll it on the floor or a table and color as much as you like. It works with crayons, markers or colored pencils, and it is big enough for siblings and friends to color together. See the coloring roll.
4. The whole world in one box
The Driving Dream Big Box of Wonder puts the personalized book, the pop-up puzzle and the coloring roll together for less than buying them one by one. It is our favorite birthday and holiday gift for a little driver. Prefer to skip personalization? The Activity Bundle pairs the puzzle and the roll. Compare the bundles.
5. A soft-cover story book for a quick gift
The illustrated soft-cover version tells the Driving Dream story with its original characters and ships within a few business days. It is a sweet party favor or stocking stuffer. See the soft-cover book.
Make it race day
Use the coloring roll as a giant road for toy cars, build the raceway puzzle at the finish line, and read the story as the bedtime cool-down. No batteries required.
