Great recommendations! I love the forts as well as the magnetic blocks. And I love that dressing up is not just for princesses.
My son is consistently changing into a new superhero throughout the day. I believe dressing up an important part of play and development. Therefore I definitely encourage it 🙂
Fun ideas for gift to kids!
Definitely agree with the teepee. We have 2 at our house & my son loves them.
Those magnetic blocks are SO great. I used to have them in my office to play with the kiddos while we chatted a bit. And I found that I, as an adult, LOVED them! I wish they weren’t so expensive!
They are pricey. However, I believe the cost is worth it considering they last the test of time. I have spend so much on toys that fall short of little ones rough play and have to be tossed.
Ok I LOVE this post! I always try to steer our kids’ grandparents to get them gifts that will stand the test of time (like these) instead of ones with all the bells and whistles and lights! 🙂
Yes! That was my intent for this list. I really love gifts that can be enjoyed time and time again.
Super neat ideas and out of the box too! Can’t wait to start holiday shopping!!
Seriously my kids would love all these gifts! Great suggestions. I especially love the mushroom fort, and the magnetic blocks!
That mushroom fort is so unique and fun. I would get one for myself even, lol.
A giant “yes” to the teepee idea! My MIL made one for my husband when he was little, and now my son plays in it. He LOVES it! It’s great for play, for stories, for naps, for “camp outs,” and picnics!
So great to hear you have a teepee. The little ones really do love to have their own magical place.
I want all of these for myself! Ok, the kids can have some too. I love the mushroom most of all, and those glowing balls are amazing! Great list!
Haha, I know what you mean. I love the glowing balls too. We purchased these when my son was little and transitioning into a toddler bed. They helped to ease him into the idea and took the fear out of the new situation.
Awesome ideas! Who doesn’t love a fort? 🙂
Oh I know, I wish I had one for myself
What fun ideas! I wish we had space for one of those forts!
Thank you 🙂 Its all about the fun!
Wallpapers are my personal favorite, I’m so in love with them. And some of these other ideas, I have never even thought of them!
Thanks for sharing, now I’d be sharing on Twitter!
I’m so glad you enjoyed and thanks for the share.
You are so right!! My kids would love a fort or costume at any time! LOL but, I never think of these ideas for other kids gifts! Thanks!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed these. Yes, they make awesome gifts.
I’m obsessed with all of the teepees! Definitely getting one for my daughter. So cute.
Your daughter will be so delighted.
Lots of great ideas! I had never sen the magnetic blocks before – brilliant!
Those clever blocks are quite brilliant. They make for easy clean up too.
