Fun and Educational Gift Lists
‘Tis the season for gift giving! In fact, in my home, it’s not just a Christmas gift season – we have a birthday boy in December, too. I hope these educational gifts lists help you find perfect gifts for the kiddos in your life!
I’ve always been a big believer in giving educational gifts whenever possible. Whether we’re celebrating birthdays, placing gifts under the Christmas tree, or even filling Easter baskets, I try to include at least one educational game or toy. They’re usually my gift of choice for other children, too!
Educational gifts don’t have to equal boring gifts! If I told my children I was on a quest to find educational gifts for them, I can only imagine the looks of sheer horror on their faces. Truth be told – I’ve never once mentioned the fact that any gifts are educational and they’ve never noticed – because educational can also be super fun!
Over the years, I’ve written several posts of fun and educational gifts lists that highlight tried and true favorites. I find myself constantly reviewing the ideas as each new gift giving celebration rolls around, so I thought it was high time to pull all those posts together into one resource. I’m thinking you might appreciate having a go-to list, too.
As I add new gift lists to my website, I’ll be sure to link them within this post.
