Creative gifts from Amazon for kids ages 2-15

Written by Jamie Martin of Simple Homeschool and Steady Mom

Do you still have a bit of shopping to do for the little people in your life?

If so, I’ve created the list below of 20 creative gifts to help you out! Some of these we’ve chosen for our own kids this year. (Shh–don’t tell!) Other ideas came from those of you on Facebook, who mentioned what will be waiting under the tree for your children.

I’ve tried as much as possible to put these in order by price, but I haven’t actually listed the amount since costs fluctuate on Amazon. Just click over to find the current rate.

If you’ve completed your shopping already, you deserve a round of applause. Save these ideas somewhere for next year!

Kinetic Sand

Kinetic sand is the squeezable sand where you can feel the fun! It’s kinetic – meaning it sticks to itself and not to you. It stimulates children’s creative skills allowing them to create anything they can imagine.

Ticket to Ride

This allows the user to view both microscopic sized specimens on slides as well as macroscopic (solid) objects like bugs, stamps and coins.

Osmo

Age Range: 6-13 years

When kids interact only with a touchscreen, they spend less time engaging with the physical world. Osmo bridges the physical and digital worlds by taking gameplay beyond the screen.

Set your iPad on the stand, place the red reflector over your iPad’s camera, and you’re ready to play!

National Geographic Rock Tumbler

Age Range: 6-15 years
