Top 5 Gifts For Kids
1) Shashibo Magnetic Puzzle Box
Fun in Motion Toys: Shashibo Magnetic Puzzle Box - Chaos
2) Djubi Classic Slingshot Catch Game
Djubi (joo-bee) is the slingshot toss game that makes classic catch seem underwhelming. Each racket has a deep net for catching and a hook on top to launch the included foam balls. Slip a ball’s latex loop over the hook then pull, point, and release to launch it up to 100 feet. Get your sling on at the park, pool, or beach.
3) Kid's Animal Weighted Lap Pad
Huggaroo: Kid's Animal Weighted Lap Pad - Lamb
4) Roll Up Portable 22 Bar Xylophone
Rock out anywhere you go with this unique 22 bar xylophone. It's equipped with record and playback functions, 7 different tones, a built-in speaker, and a tutorial mode so you can play along with the demo songs. It's also made of flexible silicone rubber, so when the performance is over, you can simply roll it up pack it away in your bag.
5) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
