It is that time of year when many parents start to think about the toys their kids want versus what we would like to get our kids. I look around and see so many toys in our house and I cannot imagine bringing in anymore of the same types of toys. That is why I try and find toys and kid products that will encourage my children to use their imagination, stretch their thinking skills and observation skills and even get them excited about science, animals, or art.
Of course, there is a place for my kids' Holiday wish list, but I try and keep those items to a real minimum and let Santa surprise them with gifts they will enjoy but would have never seen a commercial for these toys.
I have selected some toys and kid products that I know would interest my kids and that are educational. Many of them help kids develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, or observation and exploration.
I encourage you to think about buying your kids, or a niece or nephew or grandchild, a great gift that will teach them to explore their world and, through play, help them build life long skills.
