Top 10 Holiday Gifts for Pre-K & Kindergarten

I remember how I used to play Candy Land for hours as a child, and I look forward to playing this game with my children as well. I love that the game has pictures on the card so reading is not required. I think at this age it is important to learn about how to be a good winner and good loser, and shake hands at the end of each game. So this will be a fun way to introduce that concept.

Dramatic play is a wonderful way to grow, so I encourage it whenever possible. I know my kids would love playing in this galaxy tent! I could also see them bringing in a blanket and sleeping in there one night! (Inside the house of course!)

This Pumper Car looks like a fun and active way to play outside. There is also a Pumper Car Junior depending on the size of your child. I also like that it comes assembled!

I think it is important for my children to learn that Christmas is also about giving and I encourage them to make a present for family and friends each year. I think these Velvet Art Frames would make a great gift for relatives once I pop in a school picture. Tie on the ribbon and they can be an ornament keepsake!

Even as an adult I found this to be a bit of a challenge the first time I tried it. This is a fun STEM toy that challenges children’s critical thinking, sequencing and reasoning. I think it will be a fun learning tool!

My son had these at school and loved playing with them! Once you get the nuudles damp they stick together and you can build fabulous towers or use with a coloring page to make it 3-D!

Slime is huge right now! What child wouldn’t enjoy a 10 pack of Neon slime! A fun sensory experience.

Since I was thinking about slime, I remembered how much my kids loved when I got them the Slime Baff last year, so I think I am adding that to the wish list again this year. We spent a snow day playing in the bath tub with this slime, and honestly I wished I could hop in when the kids were done! Also, it was easy to clean up when we were done.

I love educational toys, so this stomp rocket looks like a blast! Not only will my son learn about ballistics, projection, force and motion but he will also be sending a rocket up to 200 feet in the air. What could be better?

I remember hopping on these bouncy balls as a child, and even though it was tiring after a while I would keep on hopping! I think my son would love this just as much as I did, and how can I say no to all the exercise he will get while bouncing!
