Top 5 Gifts For Kids
1) Marble Race Starter Set
The GraviTrax starter set is the perfect rolling, spinning, racing, and jumping-off point for kid engineers. The marble run building set has over 100 pieces and nine construction plans to put into action, or kids can create their own signature twisting and turning race track while honing early STEM skills with concepts like gravity, trajectory, and force.
2) Bubble Surface Backpack
MadPax: Bubble Surface Backpack - Double Bubble - Halfpack
3) Quarto Wooden Puzzle Board Game
Quarto is a stately-looking game that relies on your powers of observation. Easy to understand and quick to play, the goal is to identify commonalities in game pieces to place four in a row. The twist? Your opponent selects your pieces. Crafted with wood, it’s a treat to both play and display.
4) Magnetic Target Game - Lite
A portable magnetic target game that performs like a sport and plays like a board game; great for indoors and outdoor gatherings including dinner parties, tailgates, and barbecues.
5) Castle Toy Construction Set
These castle building sets bring fairy tales to life. Bricks and tiles made with ceramic and plaster look and feel real, and are held together with non-toxic glue. Pick from a smaller-scale palace or go big with a stately castle.
