Aside from clothing, toys are the top gifts that we prepare for kids. As a mom, I love to give educational toys to my little boy and godchildren. It is important to give them something useful and worthy compared to useless toys that could only last for a short period of time.
Some of my educational gift suggestions for kids
- Educational books. Children love to see different illustrations on the book and I have noticed that they also love to hear stories. Through educational books, they can learn and grasp new words and good attitude by telling them good values story books.
- Educational Wooden toys. Because of my interest in collecting wooden toys, I decided to have a small business online to sell educational wooden toys. The wooden toys could last longer that plastic toys. They are also easy to keep and play with the kids. The picture below is one of the wooden toys that we have at home. It is very helpful for Montessoritoddlers in basic shapes and color recognition.
- Musical Instruments. I love music and I would also like my son to learn how to play any musical instruments like piano. This is my plan for my Christmas gift for my little boy. I am still canvassing for the most affordable kids piano with good quality. I found this kid’s piano at toysRus.com.ph that cost Php1, 199.75. Before I buy, I will check out first music store so I can compare and check out the quality and price.

Kids these days get easily and they wanted computers. Somehow it could help a child but I would still prefer the traditional ways of toys like wooden toys and books. I only schedule my toddler son to use the computer with his ABC’s learning.
