If you haven’t bought holiday gifts for your children yet, we’ve got some cool ideas for the kid that has everything. Whether your children are into crafts, learning new science experiments, want to save the planet, or learn all about animals, we’ve got gifts the whole family will enjoy. Blow their minds with these exciting and usual presents.
For the Kid into Science
Science can include a number of studies like geology, biology, chemistry and physics. If you want to nurture a love of science in your kids, we recommend any of the Wonders of Learning sets. They are all engaging and informative. Who knows, you might have the next Darwin on your hands!
If your kids are showing an interest in science, our special STEM toys will encourage critical thinking, reason, problem-solving and more. One of our favourites science gifts for kids is the John Adams Chemistry Set, which offers one hundred different experiments for your kids to try. You can find many cool John Adam stem toys on our website that focus on science learning.
For the Kid Obsessed with Animals
We think all kids love animals, but some children want to know everything about them. Let your kids learn about the anatomy of the Great White shark while entertaining them at the same time. This Great White Shark Anatomy Model shows how the organs work together, allowing an insight into the species and evolution itself. It’s the perfect gift for kids obsessed with sea creatures.
For kids who love animals and want to draw imaginative scenes with them, this animal stamp set with creatures from the rain forest by Melissa and Doug is perfect. It comes with twenty rubber-faced, wooden-handled stamps, and is a great way to expose your children to animals they might not usually see like bats, exotic birds and lizards.
For the Kid Who Loves Making Things
Some kids are into playing with dolls, while others get an itch to create things with their hands and imaginations. We have an entire arts and crafts section that is just for those creative kids who love to make things. As a parent, you might steer your kids away from crafts because of the mess, but these types of activities have many physical, social, and cognitive benefits for your kids.
One of our favourite crafts is the Amazing Flower Kit because it doesn’t require glue or scissors, making it a safe and easy to clean up activity for kids five and up. Your children can unleash their imagination and create a stunning bouquet. The kit includes 48 multi-coloured foam flowers like the daisy, primrose and poppy, along with facts about each flower. So it’s not only fun but educational! This flower kit includes many gorgeous blooms that are easy to build with by pushing each piece onto the stems. Create your own unique bouquet.
There’s nothing more enchanting than this Fairy Garden. It’s one of our top sellers for kids who love to create their very own fantasy in real life. This kit includes everything your child needs to build a beautiful living garden with grass seeds, gravel, fairy cottage, fairy dust and more.
For the Kid That Wants to Save the Planet
Has your kid become an eco-warrior, eschewing plastic strays and trying to do less harm to the planet? Or are you the one who wants to create less waste in your household and try buying alternatives to plastic toys? Parents who have become aware that some plastic toys cause harm not only to their children but to the planet, can choose from the many companies making toys from recycled materials. One such company is Green Toys. They are making toys made from recycled plastic milk bottles, and you can’t even tell the difference between them and their plastic counterparts. This forward-thinking company also makes sure the toys come in fully recyclable packaging.
One of our favourites from Green Toys is this single-seater plane featuring a spinning propeller, two-wheeled landing gear and rounded wings. The lightweight design and tapered, easy-to-grasp body shape lets even the littlest aviators ascend through flight school with ease. Safe, non-toxic; contains no BPA, PVC, phthalates or external coatings. Get this adorable red plane for that special child in your life who loves to travel and play with planes.
