Holiday Gift Guide: For Kids (Preschoolers, Mostly)

November 24, 2014

Holiday Gift Guide for Kids | A Girl Named PJ

The week of Thanksgiving feels like the perfect time to officially kick off holiday season on the blog. First up, a gift guide for the little kids on your shopping list.

When buying presents for preschoolers ages three and up, look for toys that encourage problem solving, pretending, building, and creating. Activity toys to practice physical skills (kicking, throwing, climbing, and riding) make great holiday gifts, too

.

1. Doorway bean bag toss for indoor play on a cold winter day.

2. Because little kids still need a nap. (At least, we parents still want them to nap!)

3. Cozy critter slippers to keep their tiny toes warm.

4. Looking for a quirky alternative to teddy bears and stuffed animals? Try a hot dog pillow (sauerkraut optional).

5. With its non-marking wheels, you won’t mind letting kids ride inside on a Micro Mini Kick Scooter.

6. How do you make coloring even more fun? With easy-to-use animal crayons that won’t make a mess.

7. Because a three-story elephant dollhouse is so much cooler than the average two-story house.

8. A companion to one of our favorite books, Press Here, this new interactive book by Herve Tullet is all about mixing colors.

9. You little girl will do a rain dance just for the chance to wear this fancypants jacket with zip-out fur vest. (Get 20% off through November 29th with code GIVETHANKS14.)

10. A white swan scarf adds some personality to an everyday outfit.

11. The prettiest playhouse you ever did see. (Psst…No parents allowed!)

12. He may not eat his veggies (mine doesn’t!), but with this stacking skill game it’s OK for him to play with them.

13. A 24-piece jigsaw puzzle featuring the artwork of Romeo Britto makes for a colorful challenge.

14. Every day is an adventure for a preschooler, especially with a pair of plastic binoculars.

15. Don’t tell Levi, but I’m buying him this take-a-part crane for Chanukah — it comes with nuts, bolts, and a power screw driver!

16. Racoon Rumpus is a favorite matching game in our house.

17. A kid-size table and chair set with a chalkboard desktop for added fun.

PS – Gift ideas for coffee lovers (because if you have a three year old, you probably drink a lot of coffee!)

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
