Give your favorite preschooler hours of imaginative play time with the new Pony Gal trio of model horses, which perform realistic movements with the push of a button. Each sturdy-plastic model (sold individually) comes with its own accessories, such as blankets, tack trunks, and brushes, and its own personality and movements, including head tossing, tail swishing, hoof pawing, and reaching for treats.

Cost: $15.
