Activity Sets For Kids

 

Non-toy gifts for kids.

We read reviews, scrolled our favorite websites and peaked in our own craft closet to find you the best activity sets for toddlers & kids this holiday season. While toys are fun, activities that strengthen our kids’ mind and heart are even better. We compiled a list of the best 8 crafts, games and mind-enriching gifts for kids! Consider this your non-toy gift guide.

These non-toy gifts are just as fun as real toys, but but with the additional benefit that these gifts have a purpose. Activity sets are a great gift idea for kids and are a wonderful way for parents to support that their kids love, whether that be baking, writing, drawing or learning new skills. Keep reading to shop our picks. You can find all the products we recommend for kids here.
