USA Puzzle
Like a treasure map for their cross-country road trip. Instills nationalism while they’re still impressionable.
$15 at Chasing Fireflies | Buy
-
Pig Flashlight
Kids love playing with flashlights, but aren’t so great at turning them off. This one recharges with a press of a button.
-
Oodles Of Origami Set
Karate is also an ancient Japanese art, but this one will keep kids occupied at a restaurant without disturbing the other guests.
$10 at A Toy Garden | Buy
-
-
Sweet Treat Kaleidoscope Kit
It’s candy, but it’s educational candy. An agonizing dilemma for hippie parents.
$16 at Room Service Home | Buy
-
How To Make Pom Pom Animals
Tiny and fluffy, and almost as good as a puppy.
A pick from my own birthday closet.
-
-
Create-It Jigsaw Kit
Once your kid makes the puzzle, he might be the only one who can put it back together.
-
7-in-1 Pencil
They’ll never be looking for red one while they’re using the yellow. I wish all our stuff was interlocking, especially my husband’s wallet and keys.
-
Smiley Lion Overalls Kit by Clothkits
King of the jungle gym.
via I LIke
(Price converted from Australian Dollars.)
-
Color, Paint & Draw Activity Book
You might want to get one for yourself. Coloring is much more meditative than yoga. And cheaper.
$6 at Online Science Mall | Buy
-
Wooden Stilts
When you’re just 48 inches tall, an extra three are a big deal. Those, after all, are the inches that let you reach the cookie jar.
$11 at Calliope Boutique | Buy
-
Catapult
“No, Jake! I don’t care how ‘authentic’ it is. You may not light the Play Doh on fire.”
$20 at A Toy Garden | Buy
-
The Original Colorforms Set
This is a gift my mother stocked in her own circa 1980s birthday closet.
-
Make-It Bouncy Ball Kit
OK, technically you’re paying twelve bucks so kids can create ten-cent bouncy balls, but what you’re really paying for is science. You can’t put a price on this kind of technology.
$12 at The Little Experience | Buy
(Price converted from British pounds.)
-
Rainbow Candy Cup
Maybe if you fill these candy cups with meatloaf you can sneak some protein in. No? Sundaes it is.
$15 at Room Service Home | Buy
(For a set of four.)
-
Mohr Polster Baby Swing
COVET
Resist the urge to have a child in order to justify purchase.
$218 at Enfant Terrible | Buy
-
Days Of The Week Onesie Gift Set
A perfectly impressive shower gift that helps new moms remember what day it is.
$75 at Handmade Jig | Buy
-
Treepee
A tent you hang in a tree. It swings, and bounces making it a great spaceship, clubhouse, or reading nook.
$411 at Useful Stuff | Buy
(Price converted from Euros.)
-
Mother Stork’s Baby Book
Even if you never get around to filling it in, it is the most gorgeous baby book I have ever seen.
$135 at Kistner Supply | Buy
-
Good Bites De-Cruster
Cut their sandwiches into fun shapes and remove the crust at the same time. Maybe now you won’t mind as much when they ask for PBJs four times a day.
$18 at Inventive Parent | Buy
(For a set of four.)
-
Wrap-N-Mat
No more plastic bags. Bonus – the smug superiority you’ll feel as an environmentally responsible parent.
$7 at Reusable Bags | Buy
