Agora, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results1. A Play-Doh pizza delivery scooter your kiddo will absolutely beg you to play with *all* day! It's mobile, comes with 10 cans of color, and a bunch of accessories. It *might* require you to do some cleanup around the house (it is definitely going to be annoying in that sense) but, on the bright side, it's not noisy! Promising review: "No words other than CUTE! Another great gift I bought for my granddaughter. She loves mobility and loves Play-Doh. What a great combination." — Roger Lemley Get it from Amazon for $74.99 . 2. A Magna-Tiles set that'll surely be a big hit with any budding architect. They can use it to build all kinds of cool 3D structures, then knock 'em down and start again the next day. The set comes with translucent magnetic pieces to build 3D creations all day. Recommended for ages 3 and up. My 2.5-year-old is a BIG fan of Magna-Tiles and, honestly, so am I. They're really fun to play with! There's so much you can build with them! You can choose to follow the guidebooks that come with the sets or go rogue and make your own masterpiece. We're also loving the new glittery Magna-Tiles castle (it comes with a dragon! My favorite thing about them is how easy they are to clean up. While we *also* love Lego, they are a serious pain to clean. The Magna-Tiles take seconds to clean up because you can quickly stack them all magnetically then put them away. I'm aiming to make my life even EASIER by getting this Magna-Tile storage bin (which also comes with a cool play mat). Promising reviews: "These magnets are great for independent toddler play! My 3-year-old loves building and creating with these. I suggest you buy a larger set. We have a set with over 100 pieces, but I bought this set as a Christmas gift! He is always wishing he had more pieces to finish his masterpieces." — Kayla M Get it from Amazon for $49.99 for a 32-piece set or $110.99 for a 100-piece set. 3. A classic wooden train set kiddos will be so excited you choo choo choose to get it for them for the winter — it comes with 110 pieces including the track, the train itself, and tons of fun village pieces! Promising review: " Got my toddler aged son this train set and he loved it so much that we have bought others as gifts for our friend’s kids. Great price for the amount of pieces that it comes with, and I love that you can make basic tracks for younger kids or more complex ones for older kids to play with. It also comes with lots of accessories to add to hours of imaginative play. Wood is great quality and smooth and all of the pieces fit together easily. It’s definitely a set that will last a long time and is worth the investment." — Megan P Get it from Amazon for $69.99 . 4. A set of sensory tubes that make a popping sound when pulled and a crunching sound when they're pushed back together — it'll delight kids of all ages and annoy most adults (haha). Pick your battles — would you rather whining kids or entertained ones who aren't pestering you so you can unload the dishwasher real quick? I'd choose the latter. My kids have these sensory tubes and I often find myself absentmindedly playing with them. They're very satisfying to push and pull, despite the somewhat annoying sound they make. Both my toddler and my baby love them! My daughter chews on them (that's fine, right?) and my son loves wiggling them around like worms. They're a simple toy that gets the job done. Promising review: "My toddler daughter is gonna love these tubes, but grandpa is gonna be annoyed by the noise. Haha. Good quality toy." — Sheena Get a set of eight from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sizes). 5. A yodeling pickle I can't even type about without giggling — I mean, it's a pickle that shouts "yodel-ey-eee-hooo!" It needs zero explanation as to why it's a perfect stocking stuffer — it just is. 10/10, no critiques. Promising review: "He's no average yodeler, he's 'the' yodeler, the teacher of all yodelers. He's the yodel master. And, he is my best friend. I'm beyond fortunate to have met him. I now share my home with him. You can only hope that your yodeling pickle is half as good as mine. And if not, I'm not sharing — he's mine, all mine. Hear that? So, how did my yodeling pickle and I meet? My sister gave him to me for my 23rd birthday. I was so excited, I started crying, but the streams flowing down my cheeks were tears of joy. You know what my pickle did for me next? You'll never believe it. He serenaded me with a yodel birthday song — Yodel-Aey-Eee-Ooooooo. The way those five syllables rolled off his tiny pickle tongue was pure bliss to my ears. It was divine. The voice of my yodeling pickle is sweet as honey. " — B & J Get it from Amazon for $12.09 . 6. Daisy the Yoga Goat , who you've likely heard your kiddo rambling on and on about — and for good reason. She does silly yoga stretches and poses and lets out *~a lil' gas~* as needed. We can all appreciate a little potty humor once in a while, right? Promising review: "Super cute!! My daughter loves it when you feed it and it makes the slurping noise! She was practicing her yoga moves with the goat and following what he did!" — mbear1 Get it from Macy's for $31.99 . 7. A Dyson Ball toy vacuum with the ability to actually suck up the crackers your kiddo crushed into your carpet — it's about time they started helping around the house. 😉 Promising review: "Our son is absolutely obsessed with our Dyson (the real one). Which is why we purchased this toy Dyson vacuum for his birthday. He's 2-years-old and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day. Turning it on and off and pushing it through the house just like we use our real vacuum. I would buy this again! It was his favorite gift!." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.65+ (available in three colors). 8. A LeapFrog 100 Words Book that'll interact with your eager-to-learn little one and teach them all kinds of useful words in both English and Spanish! Promising review: " My 1-year-old loves to touch the different animals and hear the book say their name and animal sound. He’s got a good vocabulary, but we’re working with him to encourage more and more words. His doctor recommended teaching him animals and the sound they make, so this is great to add to what we’re already doing. Great toy that is fun and also teaches. They learn through repetition — and this was just what I was looking for! I also love that this toy will grow with him. He using the name/sound mode right now, but is also has a mode that gives facts for when he’s older and also has Spanish! 10/10 recommend." — Jessica Grace Get it from Amazon for $12.97 and check out the animal version here . 9. A Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set , which is essentially a tiny stereo toddlers can control all on their own just by swapping out which character magnetically sits on top of it. Each individual figure tells different stories and sings different songs — it's a great way to keep kids entertained without a screen. This toy has bought me so much time. My son adores his — even though he's only 2.5 he has had no problem understanding how to turn the Toniebox on, change the volume, and place different characters on top to tell various stories. He's a big fan, as am I! It can also be used while it's charging, so there's no need to worry about your toddler having a meltdown if they want to play with it while the battery is drained (phew). This specific kit comes with the Toniebox as well as Tonies figures of Cinderella, Belle, Moana, Tangled, and Playtime Puppy There are so many different Tonies you can add to keep the fun going — check 'em out . Get it from Amazon for $154.99 (available in three colors). 10. And a Blippi Tonie for the kiddo that already has (and loves) their Toniebox — chances are they'd squeal "B-L-I-P-P-I!" with delight the moment they pull this guy out of their stocking. And, yes, it does include a snippet of "The Excavator Song." My son has and adores his Blippi Tonie! Promising review: "My daughter is obsessed with Blippi and this is her favorite tonie character. The songs are cute and fun. It’s actually Blippi's voice too." — Emilee K. Get it from Amazon for $17.98 and check out all the other tonies you can order here. 11. Scavenger hunt cards that'll keep even the busiest of kids entertained for a bit — it'll send them on a "secret mission" to find "treasure" around the house. (And keep them out of your hair!) Mollybee Kids is a small, family-owned small business based in Pennsylvania. Promising review: " A must-have. My 2-year-old son is obsessed. Always asks to play the 'find you' game LOL. Then we play it and every option on the game he actually thinks really hard then says 'come on mommy' and runs me through the house to find the object. Highly recommended from a mom of four." — Britney bansley Get it from Amazon for $12.99 . 12. A pack of parachute toys they'll love tossing from the second floor and watching float down over and over without pestering you to help them untangle them — a win for you both! Promising review: " I bought these for my 4-year-old nephew and 2-year-old niece for when they come to visit. Right out of the box, they were excited and loved tossing them up in the air and watching them fall. I was amazed as to how long it kept their interest and the different ways they played with them. They dropped them off the stair landing, off the couch, in the yard and held them behind them to expand as they ran. My niece liked 'dancing' with them and twirling it around. Good colors and very well made. Hours of fun and the best $7 I ever spent on a toy! " — hiker0811 Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two colors). 13.

Promising review: "POV: It’s 2022 — Bluey has taken the world by storm. Moms and children alike swear by Bluey, abide by Bluey, worship Bluey. It’s your child’s birthday in two business days. You buy them these figurines. The child is satisfied- finally a physical component to their idol worship. All is well." — Orcheez Get it from Amazon for $14.88+ (available in seven sets). 15. A box of 72 mini dinosaur toys kiddos will love traipsing throughout dirt, sand, the bath tub, etc. With so many in the set you won't have to stress if one or two get lost during all of your little one's adventures. Also great as cake toppers and party bag favors! Promising review: "Hi, we were quite amazed at the variety of dinosaurs included in our pack. We expected the usual three but got quite a variety of dinosaurs and we got three or more of each. The colors were fantastic. Bright vivid blues and greens and purples. The size was relatively small which worked well as my daughter used them as homemade Valentines for her friends. Overall, we were very happy with our purchase." — H. Bowen Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 16. A Nugget couch featuring four adjustable pieces your kiddos can arrange into all kinds of creations — a rocket ship, a ramp, and castle, whatever! If you're lucky maybe they'll even take a nap on it...dream big. Every parent in my life swears by this, so if you have enough room in your home definitely consider ordering one. The cushion covers are machine washable (a must for any item a child is going to lounge on) and come in SO many colors you'll absolutely be able to find one that matches your decor. I have one in my playroom and it gets A LOT of action. We use it to lounge (my sister has slept on it for a week haha), make forts, create slides, etc. It's the best. Promising review: "What a great product! Perfect addition to our son’s room as it can be furniture, fort building blocks and an extra bed if you need it for a friend. Love our nugget!" — Kristen N. Get it from Nugget for $249 (available in 19 styles). 17. And a cloth panel designed to transform their play couch into something entirely new like a coffee shop, a post office, or a food truck (just to name a few). You can use it to encourage kids to try out some exciting imaginative play instead of saying "I'm boooooored." Couch Swag is a small business! Promising review: "What a brilliant idea to transform a play couch! We got these as a stocking stuffer for the kids (ages 3 and 1). Great quality and easy to use. The best thing is this gives so many versatile options for playtime to use their imagination! Would definitely buy more." — Endy Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six themes). 18. A pack of snowball-making molds , so you and your family can square off against your neighbors in the most epic snow battle your block has ever seen. Promising review: " Great product.

I plan to purchase a bunch before next Christmas so I can give them to the families I see for the holidays that have kids. I like how the kit comes with everything you need, and the sticks that you push into the snowman are plenty long so they'll stay put ." — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 20. A pack of Mega Bloks for wild toddlers who love nothing more than making towers and then knocking them down like they're a tiny King Kong terrorizing the city. The set includes 80 building blocks and a storage bag. Promising review: " My 2-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter absolutely love these! They spend hours playing with these, and as a family, my husband, the kids, and I build things together. The great thing about them is that they are large, so they aren't a choking hazard. My daughter will sometimes try to put these in her mouth, so we are happy that we don't have to worry about that with these jumbo-sized blocks. The blocks are colorful and are made of good-quality plastic, so you don't have to worry about small pieces or worry about them breaking and being harmful. These are highly recommended and very much worth every penny. Probably the best toy I have bought for my kids in a while." — Dee Get a set of 80 from Amazon for $16 (available in two sets). 21. A Fisher-Price kitchen playset complete with a pretend tablet, recipe cards, play food pieces, kitchen equipment, and a fabric bag for storing and hauling ingredients — your kiddo is tired of standing by the sidelines as you meal prep, they want in on the fun!

Promising review: "The surprise learning box is excellent, with top-notch packaging and durability. It's easy to use and loved in our home.

A handheld card reader for kiddos who are eager to learn new words — all you have to do is turn it on, slide a card in, and let the machine read it aloud. There are two words per card, so your little one will be chatting up a storm in no time! My son has this toy and has, honestly, learned SO much from it. Animal and vehicle sounds make noises after the word has been read out (his favorite is firetruck, of course). It's so simple that little ones will easily pick up on how to maneuver the machine on their own. It's a very basic toy, but my toddler loves it more than most of his others! Additionally, my best friend is a speech-language pathologist and uses it with her students. Promising reviews: "Wow! That's all I have to say! The technology behind this toy is fantastic! My daughter is learning by the day, and she loves this toy! It teaches her, keeps her entertained, and helps her pronounce words correctly. I recommend all parents to purchase this!!!" — Jon monterrosa Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight styles). 25.

Promising review: "This activity little center for my grandsons and the music is too cute. There's a lot going on therefore they stay entertained for a while." — Yvette Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two packaging styles). 26. A toy crab that'll playfully chase your kiddo around the house while pumping out an upbeat tune (apologies, it definitely won't leave your brain). Prepare for lots and lots of giggles! My son has received this TWICE as a gift (lucky me, haha) and he loves chasing it around. It's designed to help encourage toddlers to crawl. It truly just runs around the room back and forth until my son inevitably picks it up like "I GOTCHA!" It's very cute, very noisy, but VERY fun. It comes with a USB plug so you can recharge it as needed. You can see it in action on TikTok ! Promising review: "This little toy is entertaining for the whole family.

An interactive Fingerlings baby monkey — it'll make kiddos feel like they've *finally* won over mom and dad and secured a pet of their very own!

Turns the water colorful, adds bubbles, and leaves no mess when it’s time to drain (I’ve used some bath bombs that leave residue, glitter, etc and this one does not do that.)" — Lauren Gomez Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 themes). 29. Wooden stacking rocks that'll hopefully distract your kids from trying to collect the stones you purposefully created a pathway to your yard with — they're each a different size, color and weight to make creating a tower way more challenging (and fun!) than a standard stacker toy. Promising review: "So many things you can do with these rocks. We played with them for an hour once we opened them." — MCE Get a set of 36 from Amazon for $28.99 . 30. A Little Tikes First Fridge Refrigerator complete with a working ice dispenser that drops plastic cubes and makes crushed ice and water dispensing sounds (fun!)

It’s perfect for the Little toddlers that have a habit of messing with your Kitchen utensils/appliances." — Nona Get it from Walmart for $30.49 . 31. Crayola Color Wonder Frozen Coloring Pages and Markers so kids can color to their heart's content without also creating a rainbow of chaos all over themselves and your home — the markers *only* color on the special paper that comes with the kit. My mom got these for my son (who is 2.5-years-old at the time of this writing), and it has been SUCH a game changer for us. He loves to color and paint, and demands to do so often, which usually results in a lot of setup, a lot of cleanup, and only about 10 minutes of him actually being entertained. With this kit, we can leave the markers out alongside the coloring book, and he can come and go to it as he feels fit. Thankfully, they really do ONLY color on the magic paper. It's become a must-have item in our home, and I'll totally be gifting it to other toddler parents. Get it from Amazon for $7.09 (available in two themes). 32.

They come in an array of stylish colors, so you can select one that'll go nicely with your giftee's home decor. The set comes with the foam pit and 200 crush-proof balls. Little Big Playroom is a family-owned small business that sells a variety of kids items like ball pits, slides, and furniture — they've had their own daughter test every single product they've made! Promising review: "We got this ball pit bundle for my son’s first birthday, and he absolutely loves it. It’s nice and soft but keeps its shape nicely. I do wish it came with more balls, but other than that it’s great!" — Katelin E. Get it from Little Big Playroom for $174 (available in 17 styles). 33. The 60th-anniversary version of the Hess Truck you just know is going to be loud and proud after one look at it — it comes with a truck that makes four realistic sounds and features a *ton* of flashing lights, a Fire Chief car that also lights up (of course) and a rescue-style motorcycle with working head and taillights. My son is a huuuuuuge fan of trucks, cars, etc, so it was a no-brainer to snag him one of these classic Hess trucks again this year (he's received them as gifts the last two years). This one makes a variety of loud noises (which is bound to excite him to no end) and as the added bonus of two separate vehicles to push around. It's a classic toy you really can't go wrong with adding to your collection. Promising review: "I purchased the 60th-anniversary fire truck as a second birthday gift for our grandchild since he loves anything having to do with trucks.

Pep Guardiola: If I can’t reverse Manchester City slide then I have to go
Stocks closed higher on Wall Street at the start of a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Monday. Several big technology companies helped support the gains, including chip companies Nvidia and Broadcom. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 1%. Honda’s U.S.-listed shares rose sharply after the company said it was in talks about a combination with Nissan in a deal that could also include Mitsubishi Motors. Eli Lilly rose after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Treasury yields rose in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Major stock indexes rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Monday, after a choppy start to a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered from an early slide to gain 29 points, or 0.1% as of 3:40 p.m. Eastern time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 0.8%. Gains in technology and communications stocks helped outweigh losses in consumer goods companies and elsewhere in the market. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 3.3%. Broadcom climbed 5.5% to also help support the broader market. Walmart fell 2% and PepsiCo slid 1.2%. Japanese automakers Honda Motor and Nissan said they are talking about combining in a deal that might also include Mitsubishi Motors. U.S.-listed shares in Honda jumped 13.4%, while Nissan slipped 0.2%. Eli Lilly rose 3.5% after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Department store Nordstrom fell 1.6% after it agreed to be taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. The Conference Board said that consumer confidence slipped in December. Its consumer confidence index fell back to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Wall Street was expecting a reading of 113.8. The unexpectedly weak consumer confidence update follows several generally strong economic reports last week. One report showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The latest report on unemployment benefit applications showed that the job market remains solid. A report on Friday said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than economists expected. Worries about inflation edging higher again had been weighing on Wall Street and the Fed. The central bank just delivered its third cut to interest rates this year, but inflation has been hovering stubbornly above its target of 2%. It has signaled that it could deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than it earlier anticipated because of concerns over inflation. Expectations for more interest rate cuts have helped drive a roughly 25% gain for the S&P 500 in 2024. That drive included 57 all-time highs this year. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market's path ahead and shifting economic policies under an incoming President Donald Trump. "Put simply, much of the strong market performance prior to last week was driven by expectations that a best-case scenario was the base case for 2025," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company Treasury yields rose in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.59% from 4.53% late Friday. European markets were mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground. Wall Street has several other economic reports to look forward to this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. will release its November report for sales of newly constructed homes. A weekly update on unemployment benefits is expected on Thursday. Markets in the U.S. will close at 1 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday for Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Wednesday for Christmas.Pep Guardiola has pledged to step aside if he fails to turn around Manchester City’s poor run of form. The City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”
