Best Toys for Tweens & Teen: 2025 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Awards

We are delighted to announce the Best Toys in the Tween & Teen Category for 2025. These toys have been awarded our top honor, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award!

Many tweens and most teens will tell you they're done with toys, so to find games and activities that pull them off their electronics—to take their eyes off those big and little screens, is no easy task. Here are our favorites of the year!
