SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Searching for the perfect holiday gifts for little ones? Think about their daily activities and consider how you can make those moments more special. From playtime to bedtime, here are five holiday gift ideas that infuse fun and wonder into kids’ routines:
Bath Time Comfort
If bath time could use a little revamp, consider a set of bath toys. While rubber ducks are a classic option, today’s bath toys don’t just float, they also spray water, spin, make music and light up, keeping babies and toddlers occupied and engaged while getting clean. Pair this gift with an animal bath wrap, so that getting out of the tub is just as fun. Ducks, bears and dinosaurs are some of the cutest and coziest options, and are great for the pool and beach, too.
Time to Build
Kids can get started on their very first DIY projects with the Drill & Learn Workbench from VTech. With nine included project ideas, young builders can learn to use its drill, drill press, sander, circular saw, screwdriver, vise and hammer. Three modes allow young builders to listen to music while they work, explore sounds and facts about each tool, and show off their discoveries in quiz mode. Storage and trays help kids keep a tidy workspace so they’ll be ready for their next project.
Glamour and Magic
Bring magic into playtime with the Style & Glam On Unicorn. Kids can choose from six glamorous accessories to decorate the unicorn’s horn and tail, then hear the unicorn describe each accessory, helping kids explore colors, counting, feelings and more. Kids can coordinate the color of the unicorn’s star by pressing the gem on her necklace, or place an accessory on her horn to see her star change color to match. Music adds to the dress-up party fun, and her horn and star will flash to the beat.
Creative Mealtimes
Make meals more creative with BPA-free, silicone placemats that can be doodled on again and again, and a set of colorful dry erase markers. Easy to clean and featuring designs meant to educate and entertain, they offer parents convenience and little ones endless fun.
Bedtime Stories
Storytime With Sunny is not just a bedside lamp, but also an animated and entertaining friend and storyteller that invites participation in more than 300 activities. Sunny shares fairy tales, classic songs, guessing games, silly jokes and tongue twisters, and also encourages good manners, leads little ones in mindfulness exercises, and teaches healthy habits, such as brushing teeth. When the day is done, set the gentle alarm, and let kids take a quiet moment with Sunny as she leads them in a bedtime routine. They will fall asleep to her softly glowing light.
From sunrise to sunset, great holiday gifts can help you bring magic, fun and creativity into every part of the day.
