11 hottest toys for this holiday season

Legos is a perennial favorite -- and this year, kids can bring their creations to life.

The Lego Boost Koolbox kit comes with everything you need to build five different robots. Along with over 800 Lego pieces, it includes a motor and a light sensor.

The idea is to allow kids an easy way to assemble robots and introduce them to coding via an accompanying app. The app features a drag-and-drop interface with coding blocks that trigger movement and sounds for the robot.

Lego Boost ($160) is for ages 7 to 12.
