Last Minute Gift Guide!

No matter how prepared we think we are, the week before Christmas always comes with a long list of things we still need to get done. And that inevitably includes lists. Here’s a list of gifts we think would be perfect for any child…(good luck!)

Wrapping presents is wonderful, but the holidays are also a good time to remember the importance of sharing with others. This is an especially good lesson to teach our children. This year, the Guardian put together a wonderful list of charity opportunities that also make great holiday gifts for your children and other family members.

This dry-erase helmet is customizable, making safety creative and fun! As a general rule, kids (and most people) don’t like to wear helmets, but they really are necessary…we love an option that makes them more enjoyable, and for only $30!

Love this pop-up book of prehistoric dinosaurs!

Eco Dough is natural, environmentally-friendly, organic play dough for your kids. Healthy, entertaining and free of toxins!

Teach your kids about another culture and how to eat there with these kid-friendly chopsticks! These fun, safe chopsticks help your kids use this tricky utensil without the hassle.

The One World Futbol is a durable sports ball shaped like a soccer ball that is nearly indestructible and is made specifically for the harshest environments. For each ball purchased, the organization donates a ball to another organization working with disadvantaged youth. Keep your kids active, and give a gift to a child in need at the same time!

Visions of Earth from National Geographic teaches kids all about the Earth and different wonders of the world in a visually stunning hard-bound book. A perfect educational tool for kids, and to share with the whole family!
