It’s that time of year again when we are searching for possible Christmas gifts for kids. Here are some gift ideas for kids that we love because they are fun and can also help children learn and problem solve!
Knives for Cooking
Tovla Jr. Knives for Kids 3-Piece
These knives are great for young children wanting to get into the kitchen. They are easy to use and make it difficult to cut their fingers. The knives are a way to give children a start to help in the kitchen!
Bible Stories
The Biggest Story Bible Storybook
This is a wonderful Bible for all children. It is great for children to be read to or to read on their own. It has wonderful illustrations to go with each of the Bible stories.
The Biggest Story ABC
This is a great book our family has enjoyed reading to our children when they were little. It goes through the alphabet and tells the Bible throughout it!
Puzzles
Vermont Christmas Company Noah’s Ark Jigsaw Puzzle 100 Piece
Our children have enjoyed the Noah’s Ark puzzle again and again! Puzzles help children to learn problems solving and critical thinking to help put the puzzle together!
A few other puzzles we have enjoyed include:

Magnetic Tiles

Our children love these magnetic tiles! They are so fun to build the car and ferris wheel, but it has been great to see how they can create different things and designs. They have even asked for more to be able to expand their creations!
Board Games
Our family enjoys board games! Luckily, many of our favorites came with “Junior” versions of them! If your children are older, they can probably play the regular version with you. Here are a few of our favorites!
