Unique Gift Ideas for Kids

By: Annie Hasselgren
Are you tired of the same old Lego sets, stuffed animals, and fad toys that kids lose interest in? Check out these unique gift ideas for the little ones in your life.

CREATIVE TOYS & GAMES
 
Paper marbling may look complex, but don’t let the kaleidoscopic beauty scare you. This is a fun and easy way to transfer any design a child can think of into a beautiful piece.
 
Kids can get creative with these high-tech pens that can have them creating anything an everything with the push of a button.
 
Think a Rubik’s cube, but much easier! Shake the scrambler and compete to re-create the color block pattern before your opponent.
 
If this feels like a blast from the past, that’s because it’s a great staple of childhood. Take a break from the phones and tablets and encourage kids to communicate in a different way.
 
This is the gift that will give beyond your child’s generation. Buy a time capsule kit and fill it as a family, or create your own! Time capsule ideas abound on Pinterest and other resources.
