Top 5 Gifts For Kids
1) Fast-Paced Puzzle Game
Build a maze as fast as you can—the trickier the better—because your opponents have to navigate it. In this fast-paced, fun game, players build mazes with foam shapes on magnetic boards and swap with the competition. Use logic, speed, and engineering skills to stump the other players. Whoever gets through the end—and back—first wins.
2) Mini Magnetic Construction Set
PIXIO: Mini Magnetic Construction Set - Monsters
3) MEGALOOP - Red & Blue
Create people-sized bubbles with this giant bubble wand—and we mean giant. It’s a wand and dipping pool combo that lets kids (or, be honest, you) make ultra-huge bubble tubes. And with Uncle Bubble’s unique bubble solution, the bubbles are stronger and last longer, too.
4) Coordination Game - Original
This balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic beech wood discs to line up just right.
5) Kids Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Too much screen time for little eyes? Try a pair of blue light blocking glasses for kids. The flexible, playtime-friendly specs have polycarbonate lenses that block up to 35% of HEV—aka blue—light from a phone, tablet, or computer screen that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and disrupt sleep. These glasses also block 100% UVA and UVB rays for even more eye protection.
