If you are still looking for some gift ideas for younger kids, here are some items that have been a big hit at our house.
Melissa & Doug Toys
– We have owned several Melissa & Doug toys and I have been thrilled will all of them. Everything we have gotten was played with a ton. We definitely got our money’s worth out of these toys.

Smart Snacks Counting Cookies
My son got way more use out of this than I ever thought he would. I guess it’s the simple things that kids enjoy. This was played with lots. Each cookie has a number on the back and colorful chips on the front that match the number, so they can practice their counting. Educational and fun! Amazon has a great deal on this right now. We also have the Smart Snacks muffins and ice cream cones, but the cookies were played with most at our house.
Cranium Cariboo
– This is my all time favorite kids game! It’s just plain fun for kids (and the adults or older siblings that have to play too). Plus it grows with your child, because they have easy and more difficult versions. I highly recommend this game! I think when I bought this game it was around $16, so the Amazon price seems to be a little high.
ThinkFun Zingo
$9.99 (reg 19.99) SAVE 50%
This is a fun game for the younger crowd, and Amazon has is on sale for 1/2 off right now. There are tons of positive reviews on this game at Amazon. I really love ThinkFun Games, they are fun and educational. We have several of their games, one of our favorite is Rush Hour (8+).
