Top 5 Gifts For Kids
1) Mölkky Outdoor Throwing Game
Mölkky is a simple, but slyly strategic, outdoor skittles game similar to lawn bowling. It’s easy to learn, and can be played virtually anywhere. The game pieces are made in Finland using wood responsibly sourced from local forests.
2) Giant Cookie
These giant fortune cookies are fresh baked from natural ingredients, then hand-formed and dipped in chocolate. Add your own personlized fortune or be surprised with a general good fortune message.
3) PinBox 3000 Pinball Machine Kit
Think outside the box—build a DIY pinball machine with it. This Made in the USA kit comes with everything you need to build a full-fledged machine with cardboard. Build, customize obstacles, then decorate. You won’t need batteries, tools, or screens—just some ready-to-fold hands.
4) Smartphone Enabled Kids' Camera
Budding photographers can get snap-happy with this smartphone case that turns the phone into a camera just for kids. The classic point-and-shoot design protects the phone while letting kids access its camera function. Plug the phone into the case and connect to the app, and let the little photogs take it from there—they can even edit shots and explore photography-themed play, too.
5) Kite & Kite Flying Handle
Get your kite airborne with the press of a button, and cleanly reel it back in just like you’re fishing. No more running into the wind. No more burns from the string unraveling against your palms. And no more knotted up string, either.
