There was something magical about growing up in the early 2000s. Be it the supercool fashion trends, iconic movies, or just the simpler times we got to enjoy as kids (read: no social media taking over our lives), the early 2000s were a great time to be a kid. Riding Razor scooters around the cul-de-sac with your friends after school, playing with Bratz Dolls at every sleepover, and showing your competitive side during a tennis match courtesy of your cool friend who had the brand new Nintendo Wii were just some of the highlights of our childhoods. If you, too, were raised on all the best toys out there, this list will bring back waves of nostalgia you never saw coming. Keep reading to see the best toys you most definitely had if you were a kid in the early 2000s.
