Great Gifts for Kids 2018

I just LOVE these hand made mermaid blankets, and I love supporting local artisans, or mom and pop stores. There are several makers on ETSY, but this is a nice one made by BabiesandCuddles.  Right now, the kids size is 50% off - $19.99 They also make toddler, teen and adult sizes. It's wool, but you might be able to request another yarn type if needed.

How about these great HARRY POTTER Coloring Books? There are many to be found on Amazon, Target and Walmart for about $12, but you may want to check if your local bookstore can order them (we aim to keep brick and mortar stores in business!). Five in all. Get them at BARNES AND NOBLE for as low as $8.49.  Add a pack of colored pencils, markers or crayons and you'll have a lot of quiet time to relax by the fire!




THIS! Attach to their bike, add some big chalk and they can create designs by the way they ride - or just leave their mark for up to 15 miles!  Easy to put on and take off, it works with all bikes inc luring those with training wheels. Fat Brain Toys  for $19.99 in red or blue.



Add the Chalk, natch, for $6.95 for four colors.




THESE ARE THE COOLEST! What kid would not want to watch these crystals grow from nothing? Included is enough to create 7 unique crystals in various colors, each with their own display case - so besides the activity to make them and watch them grow, they are a keepsake forever after. ALL this in the 4M Crystal Growing Experimental Kit for only $13.99 on AMAZON.



Oh yes, I totally made those thin mint cookies (albeit a misshapen version) with a little girl in an earlier version of this oven. She really loved using it and I loved that we could have that fun together.
There is a window through which we watched the cookies bake, and we used the melting station to get the candy coatings to ooze over the top of each cookie.

The Girl Scout Oven by Wicked Cool Toys, on sale at AMAZON now for $39.99. Comes with all you see - which includes a thin mint starter kit. If you scroll down on the Amazon page you can see options to get more batter to go with it.




For kids or the Kid in You - Melissa and Doug's Award Winning Make Your Own Fuzzy Monster Puppet Kit! Encourages imagination, creative play, dexterity. 30 pc set of reusable, self-stick eyes, ears, antennae and accessories to mix and match. $24 from their website, and Googled to find the least expensive: ($19.99) on Amazon.
