Fun Hobbit Gifts for Kids

With the third and final movie coming out this December 2014 these toys and items are some of the hottest items around. Do start shopping early to avoid disappointment. The most popular characters from the movie are: Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit, Thorin Oakenshield the Dwarf, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf and Smaug the Dragon. 

One effect is to press a button which makes the sword glow blue which is a magical feature of the 'real' sword and it will stay blue for around 5 or 6 seconds until pressed again. My daughter enjoys pressing this most in the evening because the effect is a lot better in the dark. We are planning to take it trick or treating this year.

The second and even more fun feature is all the brilliant battle sounds that you get as you swish this toy around and have a play fight with it. The sounds are really awesome, react well to movement and are not too loud! It makes a really fun toy for kids who love dressing up or play fighting. You can learn more about this magical fantasy sword and see more items based on it on my Sting Sword Facts Page.

Lego accomplished a really amazing feat when they produced the awesome Hobbit Hole Lego Set. It's the best Lego set I've ever encountered and both kids and adults love it! You can see an interior photo that I've supplied from the back of our completed set. This set is recommended from age 9. It's a really big set and it took my 6 year old and I a good 4 hours to make it. The instructions are really clear and good for this set, so a much older child could complete it themselves if they already have Lego building experience. Otherwise I'd recommend an adult to help. But you can imagine the sheer excitement of getting a set like this for Christmas or a birthday.

There are other sets for The Hobbit and also for The Lord of the Rings but, although it's not exactly an action set, this is the one which will be admired and loved the most once built. And it's the one that will be enjoyed most on display too. We bought the little Gandalf Arrives Lego set which is the wizard with his horse and cart to go along with this. It looks amazing.

Most kids enjoy their imaginary games that they invent with action figures. My daughter has the little Bilbo character which she loves to play with but I know she'd really enjoy some of the other characters too. This hero pack is a great way to get 5 popular figures from The Hobbit movies to have some fantastic adventures with. These are not quite 4 inches tall but all of the characters are very detailed, have moving arms and parts with 10 points of articulation and also weapons and other items added in. These make a great gift set.

The Bilbo Baggins action figure is very detailed and has his sword called Sting as well as a drinking vessel and backpack for his long journey. Thorin is another main character in the new Hobbit movies. He's the leader of the dwarves and is bound to be one of the most popular characters with kids. This is a great little version that comes with his 2 swords which are the sword called Orcrist (which he finds on the Hobbit adventure) and his own dwarven sword. You also get three other dwarves in this pack which are Fili, Kili and Dwalin.

There are a set of these little Hobbit and Lord of the Rings plush toys and they are very sweet indeed for children who love their cuddly toys. These 5 Inch play friends can accompany kids on all their fantasy adventures, even when napping on a long airplane or automobile journey or when asleep in bed.

Bilbo is in all 3 movies so is one of the favorite characters but you can also get a horrible looking Gollum plushie, Gandalf the Wizard as well as an Orc and Frodo which are from the previous movies. This one's cute. I love the fact they thought to add in the hairy and Hobbit-like feet detail as well as appropriate clothing and even a little version of Bilbo's sword called Sting.

My daughter's not quite old enough to play this yet. She manages junior scrabble which she loves but this is based on the original scrabble board game so is aimed at age 8 and older. I hope it's still around in a couple of years so we can add it to our collection.

It's a very nice looking custom set with wood tiles and each O letter which has been changed to The One Ring from the movie which is a very neat enhancement. There are two ways to play this game: the original way of playing scrabble or with using the special included adventure cards instead. So it's more than just a themed board game set. This is a good one for families who enjoy playing board games and also something grandparents can enjoy with children too. I hope you've enjoyed reading my wizzles page today, thanks for your visit. Have fun choosing a great item as a gift.
