1) Who Was book series
My children have enjoyed many books in this series. They are informative and well-written. There are so many choices that you are bound to find a good pick for your child! And don’t forget that they have the Who Is, What Was and What Is books, as well.
If you have a middle grade reader, consider Wolf Hollow or Beyond the Bright Sea both by Lauren Wolk. These are even great books for adults. I just recently read both!
2) Connect 4
Who doesn’t love a good, classic game?! This is one my kids have and enjoy playing!! Adults can get in on the fun, too! If you already have Connect 4, consider Guess Who?. That is probably one of my favorite games from my childhood and Amazon sells the retro version!!
3) Art Set
I included an art set in last year’s post, too. It’s a great option for so many kids! Don’t forget to grab a sketch pad to complete the gift.
4) Razor scooter
If you’re looking for a gift your children can enjoy outside, consider a Razor Scooter. There are lots of color and style options from which to choose.
5) Snap Circuits Jr.
My son has and enjoys Snap Circuits Jr. This is a 30 piece set that brings out the young scientist in your child
! For more of a challenge, try out Snap Circuits with 60 pieces.
6) Brain Flakes
This is a toy that all 3 of my kids (ages 4, 8 & 11) enjoy. 
These colorful interlocking pieces allow for endless creativity!
7) Play tent
We have a few play tents that have been given as gifts over the years. Right now my girls have one set up in their bedroom. They add a little flare to any room and provide opportunity for lots of imaginative play!
8) LEGO City Town Bus Station
Any LEGO fans in your life? A building kit is always a nice option, and my children have received a few over the years. This bus station stood out to me, but you can find the kit that catches your eye.
9) Floor puzzle
Melissa and Doug offer many floor puzzles that are colorful and detailed! It’s a fun gift to give a family with young children because they can all work on it together. For more of a challenge, check out this one with 100 pieces.
10) Melissa and Doug Imaginative Play Sets
Melissa and Doug sell endless toys and art activities. They have many play sets that spark imagination and creativity like this ice cream set.
What about you? What did you get the children in your life this year? I would love to hear from you, so drop me a comment below!
Until next time,

This is a really great list! I’ve never seen Brain flakes before.
Brain Flakes are so fun!
Great ideas!!!
Thank you, Judy!
Too funny, I purchased my son a razor scooter off of amazon on Black Friday. Great minds think alike!
Yay for great Black Friday deals!!
My girls would go crazy over that Melissa & Doug ice cream set!
Who doesn’t love ice cream, right?!
My five year old LOVES games, and I’ve been considering Connect 4 or Guess Who as Christmas presents. Thanks for the other suggestions, too!
I think those board games would be great options for your 5 year old, Meg!
Lovely suggestions, especially the brain flakes and floor puzzles. I used to love puzzles when I was a kid. Can’t wait to start doing them with my daughter soon.
Puzzles are a great way to spend time with your children!
Great ideas!! I just found Snap Circuits recently, and I’m glad to hear you’ve tried them and like them. What a fun learning tool as well.
Snap Circuits is tons of fun with lots of learning, too!

Yes, it is a great series, Tamara! Fun reading with lots of interesting facts!
I LOVE the Melissa and Doug sets! I got my daughter the sushi set this year for Christmas. This is such a great list with lots of our family favorites. I don’t think anyone could go wrong with anything on that list. Happy Holidays to you!
A sushi set? How cool! Melissa and Doug have the most creative toys!!
These are really great gift ideas for kids for Christmas or even their birthday. I have seen that Melissa and Doug toys are great to have.

I was trying to find an art set for my daughter for Christmas (on Amazon) and the one on your list never popped up. So glad I found this list!
