Hey guys! I was recently working on my Christmas list for the girls and I was trying to think of some things that they would like that:

1. Wouldn’t end up as a room decoration – I’m looking at you, baby doll high chair…
2. Would get them moving! Especially during the winter, it can be hard to find things to do when the weather is frightful…
3. Wouldn’t break the bank.

During my search, it occurred to me that maybe I had some like-minded readers that I could help a little in this department! I hope so 🙂 And just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

Hot Tip!

Before we jump to the list, I just wanted to let you guys in on a not-so-secret secret. Ebates.com. If you’re shopping online and not going to Ebates.com first, you’re flat-out leaving money on the table. We’ve gotten so much money back (In fact, I just checked and we’ve gotten a total of $231.11!) from them just from Christmas shopping that we would have done anyway! They send you a check, so no messing around with points or anything like that, just cold. hard. cash.

Ok, to the list!

10. Sainsmart Jr. Kid’s Bug Catcher $16.99 – My girls have something like this (though honestly, this one looks a little nicer) and I love watching them scurrying through the yard looking for bugs or other things that they can magnify to get a better look at. Not only does it get them moving, but it gets them asking questions and learning about nature! Love it!

 

11. Kidoozie Foam Pogo Jumper $14.95 – This looks like a ton of jumping fun… no room for a trampoline – no problem! Your kiddo can bounce around on this jumper inside or outside and since it has a 250 lb capacity, it’s great for all ages.

14. Dazzler Ribbon $8.05 – One of my girls used to have one of these dancing ribbons (the kind they use in gymnastics) and she loved it SOOO much. In fact, she kind of loved it to death. I think it’s definitely time to get a new one this year!

19. 12 Ft Play Parachute For Kids $22.95 – Why it never occurred to me that I could get one of these myself is beyond me. Who didn’t like playing with the parachute in gym class? As a non-athletic child, it was basically the only thing in gym that I liked doing 😉
