I can never figure out what to get my nieces for their birthdays or Christmas. Buying for kids who aren’t in the same age range as yours can be HARD! When choosing a gift for kids in my life, I have two criteria. I want it to be educational and fun. For birthdays we solved this problem by deciding to give our nieces cash. This checks both the boxes because money is always fun, and having cash to spend helps kids learn and build money skills. But that still leaves Christmas...the biggest kid gift-giving holiday of the year.
This holiday season I went on a mission to find the best education-based gifts for kids so that I could find the perfect gift to give my nieces. And I found WAY more than I could ever buy them. So...I decided to share with the class. Read on for the best educational gifts for kids this Christmas.
