Babies don’t keep! And very quickly they turn into preschoolers eager to learn and play. Christmas is a great time to encourage that curiosity and we’ve got adorable recommendations for both playtime and snuggle time with your cuties.
For reading time with your little one, check out the newest titles from MamaBear Books! They are a female owned publishing company specializing in children’s picture books aimed to enhance imagination and foster a lifelong love of reading. They have recently launched their first three titles: The Day I Had a Bulldozer, Detective Stan the Crayon Man and the Missing Birthday Cake, and Feelings on the Farm.
Get outdoors and get active with a Plasma Car! So fun and easy to maneuver once they get the hang of it. Your little one will play with this for years.

How sweet is this fuzzy little Teddy coat. Stay warm and be adorable!
We all love Bluey & Bingo! Put these plushies on my wishlist too.
Beautiful and fun wooden toys are the best. The newest ice creamery set from Melissa & Doug is super sweet. We also love this Personalized Wooden name puzzle!
Screen time meets educational with the fun and smart Osmo Little Genius starter kit.
How cute would this be in a nursery? This Flamingo Rocker is stylish and fun.
These little stepping stones look like so much fun for fun indoor or outdoor play!
Elementary aged kids are so fun to shop for. They’re still little enough for picture books and toys but getting old enough for diving into new interests and fun games the whole family can enjoy.
The Book With No Pictures is my absolute favorite for this age. They will laugh hysterically, and you will too while reading it to them!
These Camo Walkie Talkies look like fun for the adventurer in your household! Check out these Reuseable Water Balloons, too! Gifting the two of these together will certainly give you fun mom status with your kids this year.

If you don’t already have a set of magnetic tiles, now is the time. I promise you hours of fun for your little one and bonus because these are a great price!
I love games as gifts. It’s the fun that keeps on giving! Perfect for family or friend game nights, these are two of my favorite card games. First, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. It’s super easy and super fast and will have the whole family in stitches. For this next one, beware as there’s a lot of potty humor. But if your kids are anything like mine, it will be their favorite: Cards Against Humanity, Family Edition.
Teens can be notoriously hard to shop for. But trust me on these unique, fun, and trendy gift ideas. Teenager approved!
For the science minded teen: Mind-glowing moon lamp and a beginner’s telescope. My teenage son has both of these and loves them.
For the one who loves to be cozy: Tortilla blanket and Smiley Face Slippers. According to my teens, these are a must for cozy winter days!
For the tech teen: Mini portable projector and Polaroid Instant Mini Camera.
Easy stocking stuffers: Star Pimple Patches and this Fidget toy
For a quirky and fun game night everyone will love, you’ve got to get Exploding Kittens! We love this game at my house and play it often.
Have you noticed the teens are currently eyelash obsessed? I love this cute eyelash curler as a stocking stuffer!
Mom needs gifts too. Put these on your wish list this year, or better yet, just forward these links directly to the hubs.
