The 2017 Christmas Gift Guide for Creative Kids


Collaborative Post

Christmas is nearly here! My kids are already counting down the days, and we’re hoping to get our tree up at the weekend. With less than a month to go, I need to get cracking on my Christmas shopping!

I try to look for fun presents that will also encourage them to be creative kids. I want things that will fire their imaginations and keep them entertained for months to come.

So I’ve put together this Christmas gift guide for creative kids. I’ve tried to find things that can be used in lots of different ways or that inspire imaginative play.

    These all look pretty amazing. Im really against Ben having an ipad of sorts at a young age but the leapfrog thing is educational and fun so I dont see harm in one! Luckily the inlaws have got it for him and I cant wait to see his response to it!
    Thanks for sharing this with us at #TriumphantTales. I hope to see you back next week!
