It's the most wonderful time of the year...especially for your favorite little people.
I love seeing their faces light up as they soak up the holiday magic and I know everyone loves adding to their joy by spoiling these little lives.
Here are a few of my favorite kid's gifts...
Only $19.99 (on sale this weekend for $14.99). This easel is an absolute steal. Chalkboard on one side and dry erase board on the other...kids can explore their artistic side with various mediums. Perfect for encouraging creativity. This is an absolute favorite in our home!
These thick wooden puzzles with jumbo wooden knobs are perfect for easy grasping. I love these puzzles. They are great teaching tools and are perfect for developing hand-eye, fine motor and visual perception skills.
3. Books
The "That's not my..." book series have been favorites in our house since Amina and Drew were itty babies. These books are bright, have colourful illustrations, and an interactive hands on aspect with a variety of different textures to touch and feel on each single page!! They are engaging, helps develop important language and sensory skills, and fosters a LOVE for reading.
These colorful blocks are the perfect sensory learning quiet activity for little minds...encourages creativity, imagination, helps improve their motor skills, and builds vocabulary as well as math sense! The blocks are waterproof Blocks are safe and soft while passing the children's choke test along with exceeding all CPSC standards.

6. Memberships or Subscription
There is nothing more special than quality time with littles. With that in mind, there are so many experiences you can give children as Christmas gifts!! Non toy gifts are also VERY appreciated by parents. I have come up with a few ideas we love that will encourage memories and fun...without adding another toy to the pile.
- ZDough : This is a monthly subscription for homemade scented play dough in vibrant colors and natural scents...the coolest part is every month, you receive a different colored and scented playdough. My kids love them and often need reminding that the playdough is only for smelling...not eating. 😉 (Use code VERYMERRY is valid for $10 off orders of $40 or more 11/24-11/27!)
- Baby Boy Bakery : You can purchase a monthly subscription or an individual box. These boxes contain a fun and child friendly recipe, fun cooking tools, and coloring sheet. (Use code BLACKFRIDAY20 for 20% off)
- Membership : If there's a museum, zoo, or aquarium in your area, gift a special little or littles a membership so they can attend these fun and education places regularly. They will get to explore over and over again!
*If you like the idea of a non toy gift but like to see your favorite little people open a gift, you can pair it with a book or puzzle!!
Hope these are helpful! Xo.
