Made with highly concentrated coconut oil, sea salt and sunflower oil to better care for and smooth the skin.

Kids will love to watch the magical capillary action which allows marker ink to wick into Wixel Panel while coloring.

If your kids love I spy or hidden pictures books, they will love this. There is an element of problem solving on each page too. Keep an eye out for the Badger that shows up on every page! Kids love that repetition.

My kids always had so much fun with things like this. Pro Tip: Set boundaries on what rooms they can use it in! It’ll be a hit!

A big hit with this age. Would be a great stocking stuffer.

This is a prime age for Perler Beads. I’m getting them for my boys too!

I love that this version does not get hot, and the sparkles and colors instantly start swirling around. Much improved from the old-school version and can easily double as a night light.

We checked this out from the library and my kids went ga-ga over it. The recipes and instructions are very approachable with lots of great pictures. After making a few recipes from it, my 6-year-old declared he wanted to be a professional baker when he grows up.

Little girls will have a blast decorating their walls with these butterflies.

These have been a huge hit with both my 7- and 9-year-old. They have to match the corresponding sticker number to its specific spot. But these pictures are detailed! There are up to 60 small stickers on one picture sometimes. It’s a great indoor activity though. I’m buying more of these this year.

These little guys are CUTE! And surprisingly not all that annoying. They are interactive, make all sorts of noises and movements and little ladies love them!

I’ll be honest. I wish this wasn’t a thing. But it is. And this is much better than some of the liquid/paint products I’ve seen. My daughter and friends would almost always bust out this hair chalk with they got together. Embrace it.

I’ll be honest. This toy is slightly annoying. It repeats what it hears but in a higher-pitched, faster pace voice. Kids love it. I just make them take it to another room and they have their belly laughs with it…away from me.

I got one of these for each of my kids and they loved them! They can change colors and have a timer to go off if you want that option. The buttons are super intuitive but kids figure them out pretty quick.

This fast-paced, short, and simple dice game can be played with all ages from 7-107. It’s also a great travel game to take on vacation.

It works! This is super easy to put together and kids will watch it daily to monitor plant growth and changes. I will say it’s not really “glow in the dark.” It has glow in the dark stickers but that’s it. Either way, it was a hit!

Not sure who loves these more: me or my daughter! This is such a sweet age of creativity, writing, and drawing. Having a stash of colorful, felt tip pens for my little lady has been a great decision.

I love the idea of this. According to the reviews on Amazon, the directions need to be followed very carefully so I imagine this age group will need some adult help. But I love the idea of home projects that spur an interest in science.

Colorful magnetic sticks let you create unique patterns and vivid designs to your creations.

This has been a huge hit with my daughter. Many award-winning performances have come out of this little pink mic. It’s charged through a USB port so thankfully it’s not a battery hog.

I had one of these as a kid and still remember how much fun it was to create all of these patterned designs. There are endless possibilities and your little lady will feel like an artist the moment she does her first picture.

My daughter started to really get into these when she was 8. Not only is it a great way to learn some grammar but it also makes for a great activity to do in the car!

LOVE this for any kid to display all the fun family & friend moments in their life or their artwork – my daughter would love this. It’s a great price & good reviews.

My daughter circled this really big in the Amazon catalog. It has GREAT reviews.

My daughter got this for her birthday this year and she LOVED it. It was a perfect activity to do with a friend. She didn’t even want to use the soap. They sit proudly on her shelf right now.

These are used to make all sorts of bracelets, necklaces, rings, you name it. Kids can channel their creative juices on what color combinations they want to use. My daughter even made a bunch of red, white, and blue ones and sold them around the neighborhood!

My kiddo was gifted this last year and LOVED it! I think it is such a great gift for this age. The instructions were clear and the recipes were delicious. I especially love how they teach basic cooking skills and about different cooking utensils. Highly recommend!

A fun book to help your child communicate how they feel! I especially love that the cover has a feelings chart on the back.

This is one of our most used outdoor toys with lots of colors to choose from. It folds up for easy storage and transport too.

Every time my (Rachel’s) children bring this toy out of the closet, I am amazed at what they are learning about electrical circuits and how long they play with it. This set is definitely for elementary-aged children and may require some parental oversight initially. Now that my kids have the hang of it, though, I feel comfortable letting them play by themselves with it. If you have an older elementary-aged child, you might consider this more advanced set.

Kids LOVE this. Watch your caterpillars transform, then release your butterflies into the world.
