Disclosure

I’ll be the first to admit that even as an adult I like to receive gifts from Santa, but let’s face it, the holidays mostly revolve around the littlest people among us. We have given you a number of gift ideas including two guides featuring games for families (Part 1 and Part 2), home and electronics, toys for older kids, more in-depth hobby games and acknowledged that a new generation of Star Wars fanatics will blossom when The Force Awakens releases on December 18th. While some of those ideas work for little kids, we decided to create a list of items specifically for younger kids.

Keep an eye on our 44 Days of Giveaways to enter to win some of these great items!

  1. Just Add Milk would be great to help getting little people interested in science–and that dinosaur-really love him (think my cat might attack it)-Of course the Fit and Play and the Brain Builder Peg Set have been around for many years under other names and guises and are always a hit with kids.

  2. I love the educational nature of these gifts. As a babysitter and God parent, I’m so tired of watching the kids in my life mindlessly soak up the TV. I think I may try out Just add milk for my God son!
