I like to include small little gifts in the stockings along with candy. It keeps the magic of Christmas morning going a little farther. Here is a list of some tried and true favorites for both boys and girls.
These paint sticks are the best alternative to painting that I have seen. They are so easy for all ages to use and they actually have a lot of color to them. Also, for the art lover, these pencils. Gives the same effect as watercolors, not near as messy and they love to “turn them into paint”. Spot It was our go-to during quarantine! I am so excited to get the animal set for my animal lover, Lottie. There are a lot of different varieties of this game so easy to customize for the child. She and Leighton can spend hours playing this game and it’s very versatile for all ages. The charades set is perfect for non-readers. The older three love playing although they need a little help in the department of choosing what to act out. It covers a large age gap spread too.
This paper doll set can pack up easily as a travel set and that they can make up their own designs. The eyeshadow is a must. The girls love to play makeup, however, from my makeup bag. So there will be two of these for sure on Christmas morning. These rockets launch from your fingers without any other pieces so they are definitely a winner. We had a harmonica growing up and I loved it! If there will be one under our tree is debatable but would make for a great outside toy! And these small little animals, perfect for bath, outside and everything in between!
