Tobi Robot Smartwatch in Blue – This smart watch allows kids to have a watch with a camera, video, activity tracker, and games, without buying an expensive device they aren't quite ready for. This smart watch has a face, arms, and legs (on the sides of the watch) that interact with the wearer. We believe the age range would be school-aged kids. Younger kids may not be able to set up or use features as easily. Recommended ages 3+. This watch is also available in pink and has a plastic face and band, so you won't be worrying about scratches and breakage. Find it at Walmart! $48.99. Shop Here

Adult supervision required/ages 8+. $22.
Adventure Force Battle Blazer- This large, powered dart “blaster” is perfect for those Christmas morning dart battles. We always had those growing up. It seems like eventually it would involve building a fort. 🙂
This toy is meant for ages 8+ and is a larger toy. Includes 12 darts. I was surprised at the larger size of this toy, since it is under $10. Other brands can be quite a bit more.
The only thing I would note is that 12 darts will run out quickly, so an additional pack would be a good thing to include. Full Description at link. Find at Walmart, for just $9.97! Shop HERE
Adventure Force Rebel Mech with its rapid fire 30 count dart drum clip allows for continuous fast paced dart blasting action. This easy loading, motorized dart blaster will hit your target up to 100 feet away. Its detachable, dart drum clip, holds 30 long distance darts for no stop action.

Find at Best Buy, in stores or online! $24.99. SHOP HERE
EggMazing DinoMazing Egg Decorator– From the makers of the super fun Easter Egg Decorating kit, comes a year around gift for any dino fan! We love that this gift isn't holiday themed, so it will work for Christmas, birthdays and more. The quality of this toy is good, we did countless Easter eggs with our kit (that a neighbor gave us) last spring and it was a huge hit. You do need to supervise small kids since there are moving parts. We didn't have issues with anything getting caught in the toy, but the toy instructions say supervision only. It was a fun family activity. This dinosaur version is smaller.

Real Cooking Chocolate Pen by Blume – This gift is a unique “real” kitchen utensil made for kids! With adult supervision, kids can add the included packets of chocolate into candy molds, decorate baked goods such as cupcakes and cookies, and much more. This is not a cooking utensil, so it would not substitute for any bakeware; however, it's ideal for kids wanting to learn how to decorate and work with confections like chocolate. The chocolate packets must be prepared (heated) by an adult, and then the included warmer keeps the chocolate heated enough to fill the pen and decorate! This kit is a lot of fun- it does have a learning curve, and you will need to read the instructions carefully. It's a great gift idea for kids interested in baking! $21.79 (varies). ~ Team review. SHOP HERE. More details below.

Gifts for Kids – Art, Games and Educational
Washable Paint Stampers by Crayola- We got this set as a creative activity to keep kids busy while social distancing at home. The paint stamps are soft, small plastic attachments that connect to handheld paint droppers. The paint is thicker, more like a gel, so your stampers hold their shape instead of running off the paper. This set is great for school-aged kids. For smaller children (preschool or younger) you might want to select a different set from Crayola, just due to the learning curve and ease of changing out the stamps.
It does take some practice, but the stamps are fun, and you can mix and match colors with stamps easily. Cleanup is easy, so this set would be perfect if you paint and prefer quick cleanups! 🙂 Just $14.99. SHOP HERE!

Gifts for Kids- Activities and Subscription Box Gifts:
Creat It! To Go Paint Kit – Cactus Ring Holder: If you're looking for a creative gift idea, something that your child or teen can make his or her own, consider the To Go Crafting Kits from Create It!
There's no need for a crafting class with these kits. All you need is included! Use the acrylic paints to create your own pottery creation, all at home. This is the perfect gift idea for 2020 since so many of us are looking for fun –and unique– ideas for kids at home.
We chose the cactus as our favorite since it serves a useful purpose as a ring holder, but it's also so trendy and cute! Choose from this style or many more, and keep in mind you're helping out a small business during these difficult times! $18. SHOP HERE.
We Craft Box – We loved the Fall Happy Hedgehog box from We Craft! if you're looking for an arts-based subscription kit for the kids or grandkids, definitely consider We Craft. The fall box had a lot to offer, including three full separate crafts, and plenty of supplies! We made the happy hedgehogs using the included Faber Castile Watercolors, which were packaged in a nice plastic reusable container which will last much longer than through just these three craft sessions!
These are (roughly) geared for ages 3-9. We did help younger kids with this art project, and of course supervision is needed any time there are paints. However, this was a fun project for after school, and is ideal for homeschoolers or anyone wanting an all in one art project! Instructions included. Prices Vary. SHOP HERE.
Owl Crate and Owl Crate Jr. – Book lovers, this one is for you! If you want to send a book themed gift for Christmas, Owl Crate offers options that include (1) young adult book, memorabilia and even fun additions like a sketch pad and pencils. You can also find fun surprises exclusive to Owl Crate from the author. Each box is themed around the book included. Our crate came with a sticker signed by the author, a notepad and pencils, stickers, and more! From $27.99. SHOP HERE
Seasonal Gifts for Kids:
TreeMendous Christmas Tree Ornament Decorating Kit– We had such fun decorating Easter Eggs with our Egg Spinner and markers. The same idea comes back for Christmas with this Ornament Decorating Kit! Super easy to make custom ornaments. The only thing, is that you might need quite a few additional ornaments! This thing is SUPER fun, even for mom and dad.
