Toys for Christmas
It's almost that time of year- can you believe how fast this year has gone? The kids are starting to get excited for Christmas and the parents are worrying about what to get them. So, this month is a good month to make some toy suggestions that are both fun for the kids, but also work on educational skills. Our first suggestion is a simple toy that has been around, and well-liked, for years; the Magna Doodle. Kids love being able to draw and then erase. Parents can have the child work on drawing shapes and letters. Do math problems on them. There are many differen varieties, and sizes, of Magna Doodles, so get one that would interest your particular child (ex. one with Princesses on it).
