The Best Stocking Stuffers for Kids

Ah, stocking stuffers. Or as I approach them, a good way to give the kids necessities and call them a gift. I did sneak in some small, cute and useful items that the kids will play with for longer than Christmas morning.


Babylit Memory and Matching Game: This memory game features the colorful artwork and characters from BabyLit’s versions of classic literature. You can play with less pairs for younger players, or increase all the way up to 36 pairs for older players. I like the pictures, and I like that this grows with your kid.


Rainbow Slime Kit: I don’t know if the slime craze has hit your households, but we’re in full force over here. Atleast it keeps the 3 year old entertained for quite some time. This rainbow version may just knock his little socks off.


Water Beads: Fun sensory activity, especially if you have a sensory table. Bathtubs work just well. Basically, these little beads expand with water. Good way to work on color recognition and counting too.


Firefly Flashlight: Here ye, here ye. Never under estimate the entertainment a flashlight can bring. We build forts and bring flashlights in with us, or turn off all of the lights and read books with one at night. Honestly, one of our most loved “toys” in this house is a flashlight.


Santa Chocolate: Because every kiddo needs a few treats on Christmas morning.


Color Bath Drops: These turn the bath water the color of your (their) choice. Entertaining for the kids, and doesn’t stain the bathtub (or children :))


Thermos: We’re in constant need of school-friendly cups for drinks. Choose one brand and roll with it. We’re on the Thermos band-wagon, and added one of this variety to the stockings this year.


Toothbrush: It’s not all fun and games over here. But really, a good time to swap out the old toothbrush for a new one with characters that they love. 


Christmas Activity Book: My vision: the kids coloring or doing stickers in front of the fire on Christmas night. We’ll see how that goes.


Annie’s Bunny Fruit Snacks: I pluck out the green and red bags and toss a few in their stockings.


The Things I’m Grateful For book: Because we like to emphasize gratitude, especially during a holiday that comes with gifts, food, family…a perfect reminder about how much we have.
