Top 5 Gifts For Kids
1) Set of 2 Food Dividers
From the mind of a six-year-old inventor, these take-anywhere silicone food dividers suction to most flat plates—even paper plates—to keep food separated and condiments contained. Each semi-circle creates a “wall” that you can push against to get food onto a fork or spoon, making mealtime easier for kids and people with special needs.
2) Twister Tubes Flexible Neon Tracks
Add on more cars that work with the Twister Tubes Flexible Neon Tracks. Each rechargeable car is equipped with black lights that leave a glow trace on the track. Dim the lights for a glowingly fun effect.
3) HugglePod Lite Hanging Chair
HearthSong: HugglePod Lite Hanging Chair - Orange
4) Kid's Audio Storyteller & Headphones Set
The Kid's Audio Storyteller & Headphones Set encourages children to engage in the story-telling process and craft their own stories. The storyteller comes preloaded with 48 stories, and 12 additional stories are free to download from Lunii's exclusive digital library. The headphones are just the right size for little ears, and the volume limit of 85db makes them safe for young listeners.
5) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
