Classic Toys That Always Make Good Presents

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you haven’t started shopping for presents for the little ones in your life, we totally get it. With so many toys and gadgets on the market, it can be hard to decide on just the right gifts to get your children.

You don’t have to spend hours scouring the mall trying to gather the latest high-tech toys — especially if you’re trying to hold off on letting your kids play with electronics. There are plenty of classic toys that always make good presents!

Wooden Blocks

There’s a reason these have been around for hundreds of years. Blocks not only give your children the opportunity to use their imaginations to create architectural masterpieces, but they also help instill good STEM skills at an early age.

What size block is needed to hold up two others? Where does a block have to be placed in order for it to balance on the rest of the structure? They may not realize it, but by playing around with the blocks, your children are figuring out those matters completely on their own and learning valuable skills.

A Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle

We guarantee you remember riding around your neighborhood on one of these as a kid. The metal used to make these tricycles is very durable, meaning it’ll be able to stand up to all the bumps and bangs your kids may have while riding it. Plus, the classic look offers a very picturesque feel that both you and your child will love.

Twister

A game that gets the kids moving and helps them learn colors? Count us in! Twister is the perfect game to play when bad weather forces you and the kids to stay inside for playtime and is a fun way to tire them out for bedtime.
