Our Christmas Gift Giving Guide

We are already receiving emails from family members asking for a list of items our children would like for Christmas.  Our children are overly blessed with things but well-meaning family want them to have presents under the tree to unwrap at Christmas.  If you are in the same boat, I have created a list of gifts that we have enjoyed for many hours.  These are all gifts that improve gross or fine motor skills, imagination, experimentation, and learning.  Win, win!  I encourage you to take a look.

– Fisher Price Little People Christmas Story – This is my favorite kids nativity set.  There are many other Little People Sets which are all wonderful for little hands.
– Foldable Trampoline with Bar – A must-have for active, sensory-seeking children or any child who likes to bounce.

– Lincoln Logs – This classic toy is a must for all families.

– MARBLEWORKS® Starter Set – Our kids have enjoyed building marbles runs.

– Qwirkle Board Game – This is my favorite game to play with our kids or with adults.

– USA Map – I believe all children (in the US) should learn where the states are. The US map puzzle has helped our kiddos learn them.

– Full Armor Of God – Our boys love to dress up as knights. Love tying it to the Armor of God.

– Spirit Warrior Action Figures – A nice exchange from the typical action figures. These are on my boys’ Christmas list this year.

– Snap Circuits Jr. Kit – Bubs has thoroughly enjoyed playing with this set and has even earned money to purchase the upgrade kit.

– LEGO Duplo – My children would spend every waking moments playing with Legos, if we would let them.

– Rush Hour Jr. – We purchased this for Christmas a few years back and our kids have enjoyed helping the milk truck get out of the traffic jam.

– Buck Denver Asks: What’s in the Bible? – These videos are amazing and I believe should be in every home.

– Easel – So many uses from drawing and painting, to magnets and chalk.

– Aquadoodle – Allow your children to draw without fear of marks on the walls!


– Melissa & Doug 24 Pc Basic Cardboard Blocks  – We had blocks similar to these in the church rooms when I was a kid.  They were always the first toy to be picked.  Melissa shared on the ABC Jesus Loves Me Facebook Group that these are her son’s favorite toy too.
