Amazon Fire Tablet
The Amazon Fire HD for kids is an excellent investment for your young child and the perfect gift for Christmas. While some parents like to go as tech-free as possible, I think there is a time and a place for everything. Why not have complete control over their screen-time and feel good offering them educational games to play like including programs like ABC Mouse, Khan Academy Kids, and Education.com.
When you buy a new Fire HD tablet, you get Amazon Freetime for a year and a generous two-year replacement warranty! You can literally drive over the tablet with your SUV and get it replaced within a few days with just a phone call. For me, this was the most important thing and the reason why I bought TWO Fire HD 10 Tablets for my 2 and 5-year-old for Christmas instead of iPads.
My special needs 5 year old has trouble articulating a pencil which has discouraged him from drawing and writing since he quickly gets frustrated. Thankfully, there is a drawing app on his new Fire HD Tablet that he absolutely loves and his drawings have greatly improved in just a couple weeks using it.
The parental controls are easy to use and you can quickly limit screen time, set your child’s age for age-appropriate recommendations, lockout certain content and more. Plus, it’s way faster than all previous Amazon Fire tablets. A great learning resource for children and an excellent distraction in the car for long rides, we highly recommend the Fire HD Tablet!
Hot Wheels Toy Story 4 Car Bundle
My 5 year old’s two favorite things rolled into one gift – Hot Wheels and anything related to Toy Story! This Amazon Exclusive 6 car set features character cars like Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Forky and others. Your child will treasure these cars if they are a fan of the Toy Story movies.
Tiger Tribes Craft Kits
Want some unique arts and crafts kits for the car, your church bag, or just for some fun non-screen-time with your kids? Tiger Tribes Craft Kits are just the thing! Choose from fun activities like Magic Painting World Things That Go Water Set (linked to the right), How To Draw Fantasy, or fun coloring sets with your child’s favorite thing like Dinosaurs, Ballet, or Excavators & Trucks! Check out these amazing craft kits and more on Amazon and on their website.

We bought these for my 5 year old, 9 year old and 12 year old for Christmas and I know they are going to be super excited!
Kano Star Wars The Force Coding Kit
My 9 year old son loves coding, Raspberry Pi computers, robotics, and anything related to Star Wars, so needless to say, this was at the top of his wish list! I watched the YouTube ad for the Kano coding kits and was immediately impressed. It can detect 3D hand motions, has four powerful light beams and your child learns how it works as they build it!
Let your little Jedi play with force powers, swing lightsabers, force push Stormtroopers, and even pilot X-wings. Best of all, their creativity can flourish as they make their own stories!

Hot Wheels Criss Cross Track
My 9 year old son LOVES playing Hot Wheels with his younger brothers who are 5 and almost 3. He sets up the tracks and then lets them play and push the cars.
