The New Toys Coming Out in 2021, From Lego Sets to Barbies

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Because so much of our toy shopping happens online now, it can be hard to find what's new and exciting for our kids, whether we're looking for a birthday present, holiday gift, or just-because treat. To make toy shopping as easy as possible this year, we're rounding up the best new toys that are coming out in 2021 so that you're in the loop all year long.

Scroll through to see what's coming later this year and to shop what's already become available (bookmark this page — we'll update this gallery throughout the entire year!).
