“What do the kids want this year?” Whether it’s Christmas or a birthday, that’s the question most parents are faced with each year.
I love watching the kids get excited about their gifts, but sometimes the amount of toys and clutter in the house can feel overwhelming. This can be especially true after birthdays or holidays, when the kids receive presents from multiple people.
The answer? Educational gifts the kids can share and enjoy together.
This year I’ve asked fellow homeschooling families what they’d love to receive and used their wishlists to create a list of the best educational gift ideas for homeschooling families.
