10 MAGICAL GIFTS FOR PRESCHOOLERS WHO HAVE TOO MANY TOYS.

They play well when there are other kids around, or when one of us plays WITH them… but they don’t play with their (many many) toys on their own. I’ve always thought it was a little weird, because they have SO MANY toys! So many OPTIONS!

This past week we drove out to a camp site to meet up with friends, and as we were getting out of the car we murmured about how (not well) our children were going to handle the day… with no one else to play with and no toys along for the ride (oops).

I found two pails in the trunk, and we gave them two plastic cups… and sent them off to a rock pile to play. I have to tell you… our jaws hit the ground in amazement when we realized that they had been playing in the rocks with their pails and cups for over TWO HOURS.

This is a gift that will give ALL YEAR. (My kids LOVE receiving their Literati book box!) Reading with your child is not only fun for them, but also SO beneficial in helping them to learn reading (and to love reading). It’s literally just good for your child’s brain!

1) A MEMBERSHIP TO THE LITERATI BOOK CLUB

A day out on the rides or chatting with the animals will last in their memories MUCH longer than any plastic thing will. We took our kids to an amusement park this year for the first time ever… 2 months ago… and they are STILL talking about it and asking when we can go back.

2) A TICKET TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK / WATER PARK / ZOO

This isn’t something that we’ve personally been able to do yet (my kids have never been to a movie… thanks pandemic), but we are planning a family date night now and we are all SO excited about it!

3) A FAMILY “DATE” NIGHT (LIKE A MOVIE AND DINNER OUT AT THEIR FAVORITE RESTAURANT… INCLUDING DESERT):

Craft supplies(or things like playdough etc) are NOT the same as toys in my opinion- they allow for imagination and creativity… and they don’t truly contribute to long term clutter, because when they are used up you THROW THEM OUT haha.

4) CRAFT SUPPLIES:

A pillow case or blanket featuring their favorite Disney characters or super hero will be a total hit – and it’s absolutely not a toy.

5) FUN BEDDING:
