The Best Toys to Buy for Fans of Mickey Mouse

Disney owns so many record-shattering properties today that we often forget who’s actually the face of the company: the beloved Mickey Mouse. The outline of his circular ears and head alone is an immediately beloved sight, helping us to remember his humble and cheerful debut in Steamboat Willie. Of course, a few billion dollars have been gained in the following decades, and Mickey’s been commandeering the boat ever since.  If you’re in the market to find the right kind of Mickey Mouse toy for his biggest fan, then here are a few options we think you should check out.

What to Look for in Your Next Mickey Mouse Toy

consider these factors when making a selection:

• Material Construction: There are various layers you should take into account when considering a toy’s material construction. Toys designed from soft fabrics and cotton filling are often the ideal choices for young children, given that they aren’t likely to cause physical harm. However, fabric toys can get very dirty and favor a spot-clean-only method of care rather than a machine wash. On the other hand, while some plastic toys can vary in material quality, they often feature great attention to detail.
• Fun or Education: It’s also important that the toy you purchase features one of two qualities, if not both: optimal fun or ample room for learning experiences. Kids love toys, but there are also plenty of options out there that sneak valuable lessons into a child’s playtime, which isn’t a far cry from the Disney character’s shows.
• Portability: You should be prepared for when a kiddo demands their favorite Mickey toy accompany them on the drive over to Grandma’s house. Buy with portability in mind, whether that means finding a small enough toy to fit in their hands or pockets or one that ensures portability through other means.
