Great Gifts for Elementary School Age Kids

This is part of a series on kids toys from someone who knows: Writer and Mother Lynne M Favreau. Since she also cares for infants and toddlers in her home, because she is so good at it and has a wealth of experience, when she offered to blog during this busy month, I not only knew I would be providing you with top notch gift ideas with both practical and relevant.  There are 5 in this series, up through high school age, so subscribe, bookmark, follow so you won't miss one!

Elementary School (6-10 yrs-old)

Bigger, faster, and able to make great leaps of logic, school age children need to be kept busy physically and mentally... Lynne
