Great Gift Ideas for Young Kids All Year Round!

I’m always looking for gifts for Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s Day Baskets, Easter Baskets, for friend’s kids and my own. I hope this list will help you!

Whenever there is a lull in the day, play dough is my go-to. My Son loves the rolling pin, making glittery, sparkling donut and ice cream creations. He also likes to pretend cook next to me with his play dough if he can’t help me cook. You can buy this ultimate full set here: https://bit.ly/3cAcFGM

Keep scrolling for more ideas!

It also comes with everything pictured below! My favorite are the alphabet cards since my Son is learning them right now : )

As if the backpack wasn’t a cute enough gift already! It includes all these activity items and my favorite are the alphabet cards because my Son is learning them right now. They come in 3 different colors!

Women in Science Gift Book Set is something I purchased for my 1 year old Daughter. I read it to my Son as well because it’s important for me to show them female representation in fields dominated by men and they don’t need to follow gender roles.

Gorgeous swaddle for newborns, I had a dozen in all designs and colors for both my Son and Daughter.

Is anyone else’s Son obsessed with Fire Engines? I love toys made out of wood, instead of plastic. Now all I have to do is keep them away from my dog daughter.

😍 This Macrame Baby Swing 😍 But also would be a cute decoration in the room, could hold dollies, stuffed animals and your Little could push her “babies”.

Heirloom Gift! I swoon over this Doll House Villa and hope Cora will too and pass it down to someone special one day.

Service Station Play Set has so many things to do! I ask James to park my car, pay the toll, take it to get a car wash, get gas, etc., He’s been loving this for over a year and still going strong.

Yoga Cards Set paired with this adorable Kid’s Yoga Mat makes a thoughtful gift set. Studies from Harvard Medical School wrote an article stating Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12). Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behavior, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children. Great for kids with ADHD as well. I’ve already started with James (3 years old) and every day we pick just 5 cards and do them together with breath work. Start slow and work your way through the whole deck!

Sometimes it’s a battle to get my kids to simply put on a jacket, so we’ll check the weather together on my iPhone (I decide the temp on the toy) and if it’s “COOL” or Colder on the thermometer – they have to put a jacket on…and the battle has ended. You’re welcome.

Perfect for “Camping” in the Sunroom/Living Room/Backyard/Anywhere. Love the design of this cozy fleece lined, poly filled Sleeping Bag.

I LOVE watching Cora push this darling stroller around with her stuffed animal inside and her purse in the storage underneath the seat.

Kid’s Art Supply Set recommended for 3+ – this had a couple of tiny wood splintering pieces, so be sure to check and gently take them off before giving to a Little One.

Don’t underestimate the power of a stick. I mean, magic wand. Cora (1 year old) and James (3 Years old) love holding these, pointing with them, waving them around. Its magic and it has a matching crown! Would recommend the crown for under 2 years because of size.

I like to keep my areas aesthetically pleasing and this Bench Tool Set doesn’t have as loud of coloring as other sets I saw online. I’m a pretty handy person, I take care of minor household repairs and whenever I bring out my tool set, James always wants to help. Now he has his own station to measure, hammer, “cut”, and “drill”.

Adorable Magic Drawing Board – the only thing I added, was a string around the block of the pen and the sliding dog eraser.

The craftsmanship and color scheme for this rocket ship is awesome!

You don’t have to be a democrat to recognize a great female role model and leader. She wasn’t just The First Lady, Michelle Obama is her own Entity. Representation matters and I make sure my kids know they can be anything if they work for it. A wonderful book to share with Littles.

FOR THE ARTISTIC ALERT! If I were artistic, I would love to paint everything custom for Cora and make it one of a kind. I’m not, so I would hire my friend, Katarina to make it the prettiest Doll House in all the Land! So many possibilities. I could also turn it into a Fire House Station for my Son!

I donated the plastic set I got off Amazon with too many pieces to buy this quality Doctor’s Kit Toy Set.

I dont know about you, but my Little One used to have major meltdowns. He was 2 when he had them and it was because it was difficult for him to communicate. If you work with your Little One on this every day when they are already regulated, it helps prepare them. My Son is 3 and still has tantrums, but now he can identify the emotion and tell me. I will be using this with my daughter soon, but still continue to use it with my Son. Highly recommend this Calm Down Kit.

I’ve tried a lot of calendar styles out for my Son and I love this one. Every month, we’ll put the numbers on and say which day it will land on. I started with a weekly one and had pictures of who or the activity of the day, so he could know what and who to expect.

Can we all scream for this Ice Cream Truck cuteness?!?! I would pair the truck with this ice cream set here.

I’ll keep adding as I find more items I love for young kids!

If any of the links don’t work, please send me a message and I’ll fix it. Thank you!
