How many World's Smallest toys fit in a stocking?
We measured. A standard Christmas stocking holds more of our toys than anyone needs, so here is how to choose.
Start with the size
Most packages are about five inches tall and under two inches deep. A regular stocking takes six to eight of them along with the usual orange and chocolate coins.
Pick by age
Ages 6 to 8
Hungry Hungry Hippos, Etch A Sketch, plush key rings and wind-ups. Simple actions and sturdy parts.
Ages 8 to 12
Operation, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Simon, UNO and the You Create kits.
Teens
Bop It, Polaroid-style camera key rings, Micro Figures and blind boxes.
Grown-ups
Catan, Taboo, Trivial Pursuit, Tetris and anything they owned in 1987.
Party bags and advent calendars
Card games and Micro Figures are the smallest packs we make and fit most advent drawers. For party bags, blind boxes work well because every child gets a reveal.
One caution
Miniatures contain small parts. They are not for children under 3, and games with tiny pieces are best opened at a table.
