Timeless Toys was recently featured on FOX 32 Chicago, where shopkeeper Scott Friedland stopped by the studio to share some of this season’s most exciting, creative, and educational toys. If you caught the segment, you know the theme wasn’t about chasing a single “hot toy.” Instead, it was about something better: toys that engage kids mentally, encourage hands-on play, and spark curiosity across all ages.
Here’s a closer look at the toys highlighted on FOX 32, all available right now at Timeless Toys.
Building, Motion & Magnetic Fun
One of the standout toys featured was a magnetic stunt-building set that blends the creativity of magnetic tiles with the excitement of car launches and stunts. Kids can build tracks, ramps, and obstacles, then send cars flying through their custom designs.
Best of all, it’s compatible with other magnetic building toys, making it an easy add-on to collections families already own. It encourages problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and plenty of trial-and-error learning.
Science Meets Art: Jellyfish Nightlight
Another favorite was the Cosmo Jellyfish Nightlight, a hands-on science and engineering kit where kids build a glowing jellyfish lamp that changes colors and features moving tentacles.
This project introduces basic electronics and engineering concepts while creating something that doubles as a beautiful centerpiece for a child’s room. It’s the perfect mix of STEM learning and creative design.
Puzzle Challenges & Skill Builders
Scott also showcased a stunt challenge set that comes with guided challenges. Kids follow setup cards to arrange the pieces, then use a magnetic launcher to send the car through the course, aiming to hit the target.
It’s a great way to develop patience, fine motor skills, and logical thinking while keeping play exciting and interactive.
Personalized Coloring Books
One of the most unique items featured was a custom coloring book experience. Families can upload a photo, choose a theme, and receive a personalized coloring book sent straight to their email, ready to print at home.
It’s a creative, memorable gift that feels completely one-of-a-kind.
Plush Companions & Family Puzzles
For families not quite ready for a real pet, Scott shared one of Timeless Toys’ beloved plush dogs. Soft, cuddly, and low-maintenance, they make wonderful companions without batteries, noise, or mess.
Adults weren’t left out either. The segment also highlighted the Chicago Skyline 2,000-piece puzzle, a stunning challenge that makes a beautiful framed display once completed.
RC Dino Fun
And finally, a crowd favorite: the RC Dino, affectionately named “Blue.” This remote-control dinosaur brings big personality, inflatable action, and the ability to battle multiple dinos together. It’s playful, interactive, and wildly entertaining.
