Great Gift Ideas (and Reviews) #4
We have had a LOT of building toys around our house over the years! Here are some of our very favorites, which would make great gift ideas! Building Toy Gift Idea #1: We gave this set of Tomy Contructables to our little boy when he was 2 1/2. At that age, we did most of the constructing, but he loved to “help” and he was fully enamored with the idea of constructing something that actually moved. This set is durable, comes with easy instructions for building multiple types of vehicles, and the parts are large enough to be handled by a toddler/young preschooler. This has continued to be a toy…

Great Gift Ideas (and Reviews) #3
Here are reviews of 3 great games for children gift ideas! All of these are small and transported pretty easily. Games for Children#1: Uno to Go This is a brilliantly designed set of Uno cards! This is exactly the same as your standard Uno game, except that the cards are laminated. The lamination is such that the cards hold up EXTREMELY well under a LOT of circumstances: Playing beside the pool, at the beach, or on a boat. Playing with a child who tends to bend cards (these cards are NOT easily bent!) Playing and eating, especially with children. These cards wipe clean in a flash! Playing anywhere on the…

Great Gift Ideas (and Reviews) #2
For this gift ideas and review post, I thought I’d give you a little feed back on a type of toy we’ve had at least three different versions of around our house over the past few years: Marble Runs. A Good Gift Idea We began our experience with marble ones with one like this one (although it was NOT this brand). My son really enjoyed it, and I think it’s actually still here at the house somewhere. The problem with this particular set was that it was too complicated and wobbly for a child under 5 to put together on his own. The age recommendations on these are usually 3…

Crazy Kids Bible Devotional: Jesse Tree Day 5
Yay! We’ve made to Day 5 of our Kids Bible Devotional Jesse Tree series! If you (or you and your kids) are following along with us, we hope you’re enjoying it as much as we are. I really feel like the chance to hit the highlights of God’s story over this period of advent really helps cement into my children’s hearts and minds the idea that God always, always, always wants us to be with Him; to be a part of His story. I don’t understand why God made human beings in the first place (it’s the number one question on my list!), but I believe wholeheartedly that He did…
