There’s less than one month until Christmas! Don’t panic – We’ve picked out the best gifts for kids that will delight all the little ones in your life for months to come.
Time is ticking. There’s less than a month until Christmas, and you haven’t even started your shopping.
Yikes!
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday over, you probably came out with some great tech gifts for your brother and friends, but maybe not some presents for the children in your life.
It’s a challenge for sure. You don’t want to get a gift that your little ones don’t appreciate, and you don’t want one they never use, either.
Whether you have a crawling baby or a school-aged child, we have picked out some popular gifts that will delight your children for months to come. Here are some of the best gifts you can give your children this Christmas.
From Birth to 12 Months
Ahh, you’re a new parent. Is this your first child? You know what that means. Spoil them!
Children at this age aren’t playing yet. They are interested in holding objects, using their mouths to understand the environment around them, and learning to sit up, crawl and walk.
Big feats for such a baby!
A great toy to enhance your baby’s crawling and exploring is the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Crawl-Around Learning Center.
There’re lots of hands-on activities for your little one, and this toy encourages them to crawl and sit up. With over 200 sounds and songs, this toy will last them until their first year and more.
Another cute toy is the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair.
This chair is pretty amazing – it’s a smart chair! Just enter your baby’s age, and the smart chair will adjust the level of learning.
With its own remote, your child can sit with you and your SURE Universal remote and enjoy their (or your) favorite show.
2. Twelve Months to Two Years
Children during this period of growth are learning their boundaries and what’s expected of them. Now that they are walking, their environment has expanded greatly, and all they want to do is explore and try new – often risky – things.
This is also the time they learn to talk and start to pick up basic school readiness skills like their colors, shapes and letters.
For boys, a tool set like the VTech Drill and Learn Toolbox is the perfect gift.
Boys love making noise and taking things apart. There are buttons, songs, and learning cards as well as a working toy drill.
For girls, there’s the VTech Baby Amaze Peek and Learn Doll.
Girls at this age are usually following their mom. They enjoy doing what their mom is doing and often time there’s another baby in the mix. Your daughter sees the care you take with your little one and wants to do the same.
This doll can play peak-a-boo and moves its hands over its eyes. The baby also features songs and interactive buttons to learn body parts, counting, and familiar tunes.
3. Two to Four Year Olds
Your little one is growing up! They are talking, walking, learning appropriate behaviors and getting ready for school.
They are leaning how to be social by playing, sharing and talking to other children. They are also becoming familiar with children’s TV shows like Dora the Explorer or Paw Patrol.
The Little Tykes Cook n’ Learn Smart Kitchen is a great gift to fuel your child’s imaginative play.
It’s ideal for both boys and girls and what’s great is the décor is modern so it can fit well in your home. It’s an interactive kitchen and teaches kids the cause and effective learning.
This kitchen comes with its own app and uses Bluetooth to enhance you child’s learning.
4. Five to Seven Year Olds
During this stage of development, your child is learning how to become self-sufficient. Their personality is becoming more solidified, and they’re growing like weeds.
One thing these children enjoy is a great game. A great family game is the Pie Face Showdown Game.
It’s messy, but kids love this game. You load the arm with real whip cream and then each player places his or her chin on a chin rest. On the count of three, each player pushes the button nearest them, which activates the hand.
Players try to move the hand toward their opponent as it gets closer to spring up and hit a person. The person who doesn’t get pie-faced, wins!
Have Fun this Christmas
Of course, you should also give your children educational presents like books or learning material, but what’s Christmas without a little fun?
Whether it’s a smart chair for your little one, or a play kitchen so they can pretend they’re the chef, or a fun-filled family pie-facing game, there’s a toy for all age groups out there this Christmas.
Over to you – what are you planning to give your children for Christmas?
