It's not hard to pick a gift for children since they enjoy any type of toy they can get their hands on. Still, there are certain toys they will appreciate more than others. The bigger the smile they give for your gift, the better. Here are a couple of suggestions that might help you with that.
1. Walkie-Talkies
Even if you can use various apps to talk to each other when you're in different rooms, walkie-talkies are still a lot more fun to use. It's also a good device for when a kid is too young to have his/her own smartphone.
The Wishouse Rechargeable Walkie-Talkie has up to 20 miles of range, and you'll have six color sets to choose from. You'll only need three A batteries for each device, and they are completely waterproof as well.
2. Instant Print Camera
It's pretty important to give a child a hobby from a young age. Sometimes, they'll continue loving that activity until they grow up. To find out if they'll take an interest in photography, why not give them an instant print camera?
The Kodak Printomatic is the perfect tool for that. They capture moments and print them out in 2-inch by 3-inch photos that can also be stickers, as suggested by ZDNet. The camera has a 5 MP sensor and a wide-angle f/2 lens. You can even pick from six color options.
3. Remote Control Helicopter
If you're having a hard time pulling a kid away from a screen, maybe you can give them something that will encourage them to go outside. One of the things that will do just that is an RC helicopter. There's just something about RC toys that kids just can't say no to.
4. Nintendo Switch Lite
Many adults have fond memories of their childhood and the video games they played. Personally, I appreciate the times I spend with my PSP and GameBoy. I basically had them with me all the time, so why not give the kids a similar experience?
The Nintendo Switch Lite is perfect for little kids, according to Wired. It is smaller so they won't have trouble holding it as they play, and it's cheaper so it won't feel as heavy when they get bored easily. Besides, you can pick it up yourself when they aren't using it. *wink wink*
5. Screen-Free Audio Box
Why not give a present that will stimulate a child's mind? The Toniebox can play audios that tell stories, music, and educational content in the voice of Disney characters. That includes Elsa, Woody, Moana, and more. There's a headphone jack so they can listen to it themselves and without you hearing it.
6. Hoverboard
This one is for the older ones in the age bracket. Hoverboards are too much of a hazard for younger ages, but kids above eight years old will love them for sure. The Hover-1 Electric hoverboard has a built-in Bluetooth speaker, and also comes with rider modes like beginner and expert. Throw in a helmet while you're at it.
7. Virtual Pet
This is a good starter for when they start asking for a pet. You can give them a virtual pet in the form of Giga Pets Virtual Pet Toy. You can choose from four available colors. Kids can teach the virtual pet tricks, feed them, take them to the vet, play games, and more. It will give them an idea of the responsibilities of being a pet owner.
