Holiday Gift Ideas for Preschool Children


Need excellent ideas for Christmas to give your child?

Consider:

Toys to build imagination such as:

  • Blocks
  • Art materials
  • Toy dishes
  • Figurines and dolls with accessories. See attached article link.
  • Dress up clothes. Very popular items in the dress up area are pieces of fabric. Choose shiny, sequins, fleece, etc. Fabric that doesn't ravel won't need any sewing!
Things to build fine motor skills:

  • Playdough
  • Tongs and small toys to sort
  • Scissors
  • Puzzles
  • Magnet toys
  • Legos, manipulatives that snap together, Velcro together or click together and are a little tricky to separate.
Books:

  • Predictable stories
  • Non fiction
  • Wordless books where you and your child can tell the story.
  • Books with concepts about color, shapes, new vocabulary
Things to spend time together doing: 
  • Board Games
  • Certificates for a scavengar hunt, a game of hide and seek, a date to build blanket forts in the living room, a special trip to the library or lunch dates.
