Whether it is Christmas time, birthdays or another upcoming event, there are so many toys on the market that children are constantly asking for. While it is nice to surprise them with the latest "must have" toy, how about introducing them to a nice educational gift such as as an educational toy, board games or book. If your child has shown interest in one particular area, such as science or reading, an educational gift will be a lot of fun to the child as well as a great way to make learning fun.
One of the most popular science based gifts has been the microscope. Since these educational toys will be used for many years after Christmas, there is good reason to splurge on a high quality microscope that will last and last. You can often find a good microscope online for less than you might pay in your local area, as well.
Chemistry sets are a classic educational gift that kids love to learn with. Most chemistry sets are relatively inexpensive, and can be found both online and in local toy shops.
Books are a great way to combine fun and learning during the holidays. You can find many books inexpensively online and locally. Plan on giving a holiday book such as a Christmas story to read Christmas Eve. What a great way to start a new holiday tradition that will last for many years to come.
If you are choosing children's books for a family member, but you aren't really sure of their reading ability, then you can simply choose a book based on the age range that it is intended for. Even if the book is a little too difficult, the child will be able to read it eventually.
Educational games such as board games would definitely make a nice educational gift for children, especially those who are just learning the concept of winning and losing. Kids can learn by playing just about any board game, but those that are meant for their age level are the best choices for elementary aged kids. Preschool children should be given board games that teach basic skills, such as taking turns, colors and counting. Board games are also a nice way to share quality family time. You can make one or two nights a week game night, adding a few new board games to your collection every holiday season.
