Great Holiday Gifts for Kids That Help Them Learn and Grow
Special to The Truth
It’s time to think about
stuffing stockings and fulfilling wish lists. But if you
want your holiday gifts for kids to deliver fun long after
the holidays, you may want to consider gifts that will help
them learn and grow.
Here are some great gift
ideas to enrich kids’ lives in a number of ways.
Boost Creativity
Art can inspire
creativity, improve fine motor skills and even boost IQ. For
beginners, art or crafting kits containing all the supplies
they will need to create their own projects may be a great
place to start.
Thinking bigger? Consider
helping your gift recipient create an artist’s studio. A
craft or art table, an easel and a project caddy make a
great combination gift for kids.
Spark Imagination
For toddlers, play time
can be an extremely valuable opportunity to build skills and
reach milestones -- with the right toys at hand. Maximize
toddler fun with toys such as VTech’s Go! Go! Smart Wheels
playsets, which spark imagination and deliver multi-sensory
learning, teaching first words, letters and more.
The line-up includes the
new Launch & Chase Police Tower, which lets kids serve and
protect with Po the Police Car. They can launch Po from the
dual launchers and chase the Getaway Car through the switch
tracks, trap doors, and road obstacles, promoting important
motor skills. Po responds to SmartPoint locations throughout
the playset with lights, sounds and music, encouraging first
words and imaginative play.
Another option from the
line-up is the Tow & Go Garage, letting kids explore along
with Trent the Tow Truck as they exercise important motor
skills with this multi-level interactive playset. They can
give a friend a lift, go up the elevator to the repair
platform, or race down the ramp and get a car wash while
exploring SmartPoint locations.
Lastly, the interactive
Go! Go! Smart Wheels Take Flight Airport playset strengthens
fine motor skills as kids fuel up at the gas station, spin
the weather vane and check bags at the luggage belt. They
can also launch Aaron the Airplane to take off for flight,
spin around the clouds and use the ramp to make a safe
landing.
Encourage Movement
Habits formed in childhood
can set the precedent for a lifetime. View gift-giving as an
opportunity to encourage kids to engage in healthy hobbies.
Whether it’s a baseball glove and bat or a set of skates and
protective gear, you can encourage kids to get active in a
way that’s fun, by outfitting them with all the equipment
they need to play their favorite sports.
This holiday season, make
sure your gifts for kids go further to enrich, engage and
educate.
