Gift for Kids on the Go: Musical Instrument and Dance Outfit
Some children are constantly moving, whether that means wiggling on the floor, fidgeting, or bouncing around. Kids who love to move around are often physical learners, so music or dance can be beneficial creative outlets. Try a birthday gift that nurtures these talents like a musical instrument and a dance outfit! For toddlers, gift a tambourine, maraca, drum or xylophone. For elementary age children, consider a violin, beginner piano, or guitar. Once they learn a song, or even a few notes, they can dress up in their birthday outfit and dance to their own music! This birthday gift encourages kids to express their creativity through movement.
Gift for the Problem Solver: Personalized Puzzles
Problem-solving children are hands-on learners who go through the steps to solve something—whether that’s finding a missing sock, cleaning up a spill, or putting all the puzzle pieces together! Personalized puzzles are educational and fun birthday gifts that encourage cognitive development and improve hand-eye coordination. Try a 24-piece personalized puzzle for toddlers, with large pieces that are safe for little hands. Surprise older children with a 500-piece personalized photo puzzle. Photo puzzles are special gifts the whole family can enjoy. Once it’s all together, glue the pieces and frame it in the child’s bedroom!

Nurture a child’s artistic flair with an art supplies mystery box!

When the child opens the box, they are tasked with making an object or toy based on the supplies! This unique birthday present will inspire budding little artists.
Gift for the Builder: Educational Wood Blocks
Does your toddler love to build things? Maybe they love stacking objects or creating new inventions during craft time. A gift of wooden blocks will nurture their love of building. To make this gift even more educational, give blocks that have letters, numbers, or even the periodic table on them so they can practice spelling as they stack!
