The toy version of Dyson’s iconic vacuum features all of the visual hallmarks of the original, from the ball construction to the clear canister to the bright yellow color, though it’s also available in blue, red, and purple. It’s just over two feet tall, the perfect height for a preschooler. Of course, if all it did was look like mom and dad’s vacuum, kids would lose interest quickly. Thankfully, this thing does way more than that. Four C batteries power a motor that does two things. First, it swirls around a panoply of colored balls inside the canister. Second, it actually provides some suction, enough to pick up little pieces of paper, so kids can feel like they’re playing with a real cleaning machine. There’s even a removable dustbin in the back to empty the debris your kid picks up. And the fact that it’s really sucking things up means that this toy vacuum makes real vacuum sounds. Playing with this toy can help them develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills while learning about cause and effect and exploring their surrounds. Your floors may not be any cleaner, but your kid will be entertained, and in the end that’s a much more impressive feat. Buy Now $30
