If you bring up ”CoComelon,” prepare for some controversial opinions. While some parents may tell you that "CoComelon" is the best show for keeping kids entertained, others might gently guide you toward a different direction in the cartoon universe. 

My own daughter went through a long CoComelon phase, and while I admit it was a bit of a strange time for me (those shows feel like fever dreams sometimes), she got a ton of use out of her CoComelon toys. Her favorites were this $10 sing-along microphone and the CoComelon home and playset, which includes JJ and all his friends. But it wasn't just our family—thousands of parents on Amazon say these are the best-selling CoComelon toys their kids can’t put down, starting at $8.

With an average of 4.7 stars and over 33,680 ratings on Amazon, you could say this CoComelon doll is a bit popular. The toy is soft and huggable, but also interactive—kids can press JJ's belly to hear seven of his popular phrases and sounds, including the one and only, "Yes, Yes, Bedtime" nursery rhyme.  

"Since this [JJ] doll from CoComelon arrived at our home, it has become my daughter’s inseparable companion for bedtime...there isn’t a single night when she doesn’t look for it before going to bed," said one mom on Amazon. "The size is perfect for her to hug, and the music plays at a soft, pleasant volume, which gives me peace of mind as a mom."

As a mom of five kids, I am a big proponent of bubbles as one of the easiest and wholesome forms of entertainment for kids. In fact, just this weekend, I played with bubbles with both my 5-year-old and 12-year-old. You're never too old for bubbles, and this CoComelon machine adds the no-spill and continuous blowing features that take things up a fun level.

"This is such a winner!” gushed one parent. “But besides my kid loving this, I want to thank whoever created this because I want to thank you for having the feature that this thing can blow bubbles without the music playing. THANK YOU!!!"

This educational laptop toy offers plenty of word-learning opportunities with buttons to press to hear CoComelon phrases, sounds, and songs. Plus, it comes pre-loaded with batteries, so it's a hit for parents and kids alike.

"My 2-year-old daughter would not put it [down]! She loves it!" shared one Amazon shopper. "It has a volume adjustment, so I turn it down when she drags it to bed while I’m watching TV!"

If you've ever dreamed of a toy that would play a clip of "The Wheels on the Bus" over and over again, you're in luck. This CoComelon bus toy plays the song and includes one JJ figure with bendable legs, so he can’t stand up to walk down the bus aisle or sit in one of the seats. One helpful shopper noted that you may need to switch off the toy from "try me" demo mode to play the longer song version.

Speaking of extra CoComelon characters, you can buy 3-inch versions of TomTom, YoYo, Cody, Nina, and more versions of JJ (gotta have him in his jammies, of course). There’s also a Shark theme with an included coloring page. These figures are a great addition to the CoComelon bus toy or another playset for kids to enjoy endless pretend play with their favorite characters.

"My granddaughter loves Cocomelon, and these kept her occupied for quite a while Christmas Eve while everyone else opened their gifts," shared an Amazon shopper. "Just the right size for her to manipulate them with her little hands."

In a world of screens, dare to be different by introducing this board book that features the full versions of the CoComelon songs on important topics like potty training, bath time, manners, and exercise. The sound player can be used in the book or removed for independent play. There are over 10 songs for kids to play, and the book is hefty and durable so that it will last through even spirited play.

"The songs are the same favorites from the show, and my little one loves flipping through the pages and singing along," explained one Amazon shopper. "The book is sturdy and well-made, which is important since it gets a lot of use. The buttons are easy to press, and the sound quality is good. It keeps my toddler entertained without needing a screen, which is a huge plus!"

This CoComelon microphone was a beloved fixture in my home for several years, and it's still taking up residence in our toy basket, although at age 5, my daughter isn't as into the show as she once was. The microphone includes popular CoComelon songs, but you can also use it without them for your own personal karaoke night.

My 2-year-old grandson loves this microphone!” raved one grandma. “He has so much fun and it keeps him busy for hours!!”

My daughter was also obsessed with this Amazon's Choice playset given to her by her grandma. I appreciated the neat-and-tidy aspect of the closing house that kept all the figures inside and out of the way when she wasn't playing with them. Plus, it has a carrying handle, so she could transport it all over the house to play with (which she very much did). The set includes the full family playhouse and JJ, along with his entire family (Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, siblings TomTom and YoYo, and Bingo). 

"Cocomelon is watched daily at our house, so the kids knew immediately who everyone was,” shared one parent. “The figurines are nicely detailed and recognizable…There is one button in the living room that can be pushed, and a variety of songs from the show are played, including our favorite, 'the clean-up song.’” The only downside is that the front door doesn’t open and close, the parent added, but “overall, though, this toy has already provided hours of entertainment.” 

Everyone knows that there's nothing babies and toddlers love more than grabbing your phone, so you can get them their own for a mere $8 (much more affordable than your plan, I'm sure). The phone includes lights, sounds, music, over 50 phrases, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, weather, feelings, and the songs “The Wheels on the Bus” and “BINGO!" Like some of the other listed CoComelon toys, you'll need to switch it out of demo mode to access all the full-volume features. 

"​​Our 18-month-old loves this phone," reported one dad. "Plays with it daily, at least for now. Holding up to the constant throwing and banging that he gives the phone. No small parts have come off to make me worry about him swallowing them."

Crayola Cocomelon Color Wonder Coloring Set

Crayola Wonder mess-free coloring pages are, well, a wonder. The relief of not worrying about your toddler coloring on furniture, clothes, or walls is pure bliss, and I loved using these sheets at home. I'd spread them on the floor near me so I could cook dinner or get some work done, and the kids were (usually) content to color as long as I was nearby. This set comes with 18 CoComelon-themed coloring pages and five mess-free Color Wonder markers. 

"I’m always looking for something my son can do independently while I put his baby brother to sleep, and these are perfect!" related one Amazon shopper and parent. "The markers only work on the special paper they come with, but you can keep them for other no-mess marker kits as well."
