Just for fun

Young kids love toys that help them pretend – whether it’s a princess costume, a workbench, or a doctor’s
tool bag.
Kites are a great way for kids to enjoy spending some time outside – and since they often require an adult’s
assistance to get them going, it’s a great bonding activity.
Pick one of the games you loved as a child, or find one of the many new games that are now available.
Spend some time with that special child by taking them to a sporting event, zoo, or science museum, or just
out for a meal.

Creative

Give kids a creative outlet with coloring books and crayons, and even simple pads of paper for doodling.
Parents usually appreciate washable crayons that make it easy to clean up.
Sidewalk chalk and bubbles give kids something fun for outside.
For older children, craft sets are popular. Girls often like sets for making jewelry and accessories. Boys
may enjoy a model car or airplane.
If you know a craft skill, consider teaching it to a youngster at an appropriate age and purchase some
supplies to help them get started. Knitting, sewing, and woodworking are all great options.

Sports

Sports equipment such as a soccer ball and goals, volleyball set, backyard croquet or horseshoes
encourage kids to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
For a baseball fan, consider a personalized Louisville Slugger bat. See the Slugger Gift shop online.

Educational

Science activity sets are a great way for kids to enjoy learning.
Puzzles offer kids a challenge and are a great way to exercise spatial and problem-solving skills.

Finally, don’t discount the simplicity of giving a gift card. Most kids love the opportunity to pick out something new
for themselves and pay for it with plastic!
