The Gifted Child: Seven-Year-Olds
Your lil boy is quickly outgrowing the "lil" moniker. He is likely looking to spend some more time on his own, playing and learning independently. Take a cue from him and consider some gifts that will encourage him to explore on his own.
The Gifted Child: Six-Year-Olds
Don't be surprised if the six-year-old in your life is a lil chatterbox. Kids this age like to express themselves and tend to be social butterflies. With that in mind, we sought out several gift ideas that will encourage group play, while helping the child learn new skills and create items.
The Gifted Child: Five-Year-Olds
The kindergartner on your list may be a bit precocious at times, but he is still a baby in your eyes. Help him continue to explore the world around him with some gifts that are sure to get him asking questions.
Among our favorites for the five-year-old this year are:
- A Make My Own Monster Kit from FAO Schwarz.
The Gifted Child: 4-Year-Olds
Preschoolers are quite an ambitious group. They spend their days at school being the line leader or napkin passer, and then come home to demonstrate their ability to complete tasks with less oversight. At this age, they are often rewarded in knowing that they finished a project on their own, rather than with applause or treats.
The Gifted Child: Three-Year-Olds
Three-year-olds tend to be a bit fickle as they express their independence. One moment they are telling you they can do it all by themselves, then the next they insist on holding your hand. When shopping for a gift for a preschooler, look for items that showcase their new found abilities.
The Gifted Family: Kiddie Couch Potatoes
The theater isn't the only place to watch movies on Christmas. While lots of moms and dads take their broods to the box office to see the holiday releases, the task can be overwhelming and the furthest thing from relaxing for those with small tots. Not to mention the price of all those tickets, beverages and munchies for the munchkins add up!
The Gifted Mother: What Mommy Wants, But Won't Ask For
Moms are so busy this time of year, the last thing they have time to do is make a wish list. Preoccupied with playing Santa and planning for holiday festivities, mothers often forgo getting gifts for the sake of time and money. But if you're wondering what the woman in your life really wants, check out these options!
The Gifted Baby: Two-Year-Old
Two isn't terrible! The key to entertaining a rambunctious two-year-old is patience and a steady stream of back-up ideas to prevent meltdowns. Look for toys that keep children active as well as items that let them explore their creative sides.
The Gifted Baby: 18-Month-Old
