Hello, friends! Hope your week is going well so far. I am diving into top selling gifts that need to be on your shopping list for your kiddos today. I don’t know about you, but it is such a headache when we see all the toys pile up and they don’t even know what to do with them all. So this year, my family has decided to gift each other ACTIVITIES to do as a family and have an experience, rather than STUFF. I love this idea so much! There are so many things that you can do as a family together to get everyone involved. (Even the littlest ones!)

I saw this Wordsearch/Crossword Activity on Jane.com, and immediately added several to my cart. 
How much fun, right? My kids are in preschool and 2nd grade, and the word searches are such a good game to help them with reading and letters. And it’s big enough that all 4 of us can see it around the table. I would snag this deal fast because it won’t last long. Each wordsearch or crossword is $8.99, and they are usually $16.99! 50% right there for ya. They have different themes too, like different Christmas movies, sports, holiday themes, etc. I can’t wait to get mine and do them together.

Another activity you can gift your kids is a complete baking kit at Baketivity. I have shared this company before, and I absolutely LOVE their products. There are so many things you can choose from and have your littles help you in the kitchen.
They have One Time Baking Kits or you can do a Subscription where you can send them monthly and they can enjoy these all year! Baketivity also has birthday baking kits and a Bake Camp and so much more! Your kids will love these and will have such a fun time in the kitchen.
Check out Baketivity HERE.
A third gift option for kids as an activity is ABC Mouse, one of my favorite educational apps for kids.
I really can’t say enough good things about this app. My kids absolutely love it. It takes you on a journey where you learn as you play games, read stories, sing songs and more. It is so interactive and fun for the kids. If you are not opposed to screen time, this is such a great gift option they can enjoy all year long. And they have a deal going right now where you can buy a whole year subscription for $59.95. Click HERE to check it out.
Not sure if you want to commit to a whole year? Try just 2 months for just $5! The cost of a Happy Meal will get you 2 months of quality educational material for your kiddos. Click HERE to sign up.
And you can always just try it for 1 month FREE to test it out and see if your kids like it. You can’t lose with this offer! Jump on the ABC Mouse train and sign up now. With all of us at home and learning remotely, this is a great option to help them along.
Another great option for kids who enjoy building things and taking things apart (future engineers, ya know?) is KiwiCo. Have you heard of this company? It is also a subscription service where you get a box delivered every other month of a different activity to build and put together while learning at the same time.
They have age appropriate projects from 0-24 months to 16+. Your child will love growing up with these projects!
Just to try it out if you are unfamiliar, you can try your first month for 50% off HERE.
Here’s how it works:
- Enter Your Child’s Birth Date (or Due Date). We offer products specific to each baby’s age.
- Delivered Every Other Month. Choose your plan and the first crate ships in 2 days. Pause or cancel anytime.
- Serious Fun! Our enriching products are backed by science to promote early childhood development.
Hope these gave you some great gift ideas for your kids (or grandkids/niece/nephew/friends with kids). I love these activity gifts more than letting stuff pile up in the toy box untouched. Not that toys aren’t great. But every once in awhile, your kids need things to do with the family that are age appropriate, fun and educational. Share this post if you like it and spread the word to your friends!
Cheers,
Jackie
