With Thanksgiving drawing near, I thought it would be a perfect time to start sharing some of my favorite gift ideas. I’m starting off with some fun non-tech gift ideas and will be sharing a few more gift lists throughout the weeks to help you get ready for Black Friday shopping and beyond. Read on for some fun gift ideas in the Books and Non-Tech Games for Kids category.
Gift Ideas for Kids!
My thanks to the companies who sent me the products mentioned in today's post to share with you. No further compensation was given. All opinions are my own.
Games:
Countalope: (for 7+)Use your melon to ripen your
chances in Countaloupe: a slice and dice game of risk and reward! Roll the
dice, count your seeds, and be the first player to get rid of all the slices in
your deck. Stop there or keep rolling but be careful—one rotten roll of the
dice can ripen or squash your chance for sweet victory in Countaloupe! Perfect
for STEM learners! This
is a fun game that’s sure to be well received on family game night. Shop here.
SMART 10 ( for 10+) is the portable quiz game where
every card has a question with ten possible answers, so every player gets a
chance to show off their smarts! Players take turns guessing answers and
passing to the next player. Right answers gain a point, but players beware,
incorrect answers lose everything earned that round. Play smartly, as pass or
play decisions can make or break the game! The first player or team to reach 30
points wins! I can’t wait to play this game over the long holiday break with my
family. Shop here for Smart 10.
My First
BANANAGRAMS : (for 4+):
Perfect for the pre-reader
and early learner, My First BANANAGRAMS utilizes lowercase letters that help
children grow a love for word games and wordplay and aligns perfectly with
reading curriculums. Also included are combo-letter word building tiles, which
are the first step in word creation. With multiple mini games, My First
BANANAGRAMS creates a step-by-step play-progression towards ultimately learning
how to play a full game of BANANAGRAMS. I’m gifting this to my littlest family
members this year. Shop here.
Books:
Inspired
by the wit and wisdom of North America’s favorite “Old” friend, the Almanac for
Kids features a treasure trove of fun facts, creative activities, and great
ideas that will keep kids of all ages loving learning the whole year through!
Filled with fascinating facts and fun activities on subjects such as weather,
sports, astronomy, history, nature, pets, and much more! Kids love
it! Adults can’t put it down! I completely agree with this statement! I love
this book and have found it very entertaining and insightful. You can shop this
and all the great almanacs available here
Norman The
Interested Cat Book Series: (ages 4+) Norman the Interested Cat Book Series by Cheryl Cage, is the first
in a series of Norman the Cat books available. This set of 4 hardbound books
that teach kids important lessons on friendship, feelings and more. The
happy characters and storylines are wholesome while being very topical. I loved

photographers perfect for any young Harry Potter fan. It will have aspiring
witches and wizards brewing potions, baking stellar treats, and cooking creative
