Pokemon Card Binders

An 8 piece stainless steel portable camping cutlery set. It comes with a mesh bag that holds a plate, bowl, cup, fork, knife, spoon, & cleaning rag. A perfect set for any one who enjoys camping.

The Kiwi Crate Subscription Box

One of my favorite gifts to give to kids. A subscription box that arrives each month with a new STEM creation for them to build. This is a gift that brings joy month after month.

"Rubiks Cube" Speed Cube

Kids who are fans of Rubik’s Cube but are ready to upgrade to the speed cube will want the GAN cube. This is the cube that has been used to break speed World Records.

Kids Water Bottle

A stainless steel water bottle that is the  perfect size for kids to take on a hike or camping trip. The paracord, compass, and carabiner clip are a fun bonus that kids will love.

Dinosaur Take Apart

My kids had a vehicle version of this that they played with for years off and on. Take apart dino’s, mix and match, and then rebuild your own dinosaur. The electric drill makes this even cooler 🙂

Beanie With Light For Kids

I love a 2-in-1 product! Instead of having to put a headlamp over your beanie, you can have both in one. The warm beanie comes with a rechargeable LED light to light your way.

Dino Headlamp For Kids

You have to check this out. How cool would it be to have this on a camping trip or playing outside in the evening. I love how you change the lights on it … you can even make the horns light up!

Walkie Talkie

My kids loved to be able to communicate via Walkie Talkie. I tried the toy versions & soon realized they were a waist of $ and found the regular versions last longer & work better.

Baseball Cap Light

Who knew there were so many options of lights that can attach to your head. I love that this one can attach right to your Cub Scout hat.

Guess In 10 - Junior

A fun card game that helps develop communication skills. Give up to 10 clues to figure out what is on the game card.  No reading necessary in the junior version.

Levi Lusko's Devotional For Kids

The artwork inside this book is amazing and I think would inspire kids to want to read and learn from it. It is written by Levi Lusko who offers great sermons you can see on TBN.

The Lord is my shepard cross 3D night light. What other light would you want shining on your child as they drift off to sleep? 🙂

This was one of the all time best gifts my kids ever received. Set it in your sandbox or dirt pile and kids will have the best time of their life getting to be construction workers.

Who Would Win Books

At our school book fair these books and the “VS.” books are the most popular books for boys. They are also great for kids who don’t really enjoy reading.

National Geographic has this mega science kit with 45 different experiments you can do! Make volcano’s erupt, launch rockets, create cool fizzing and bubbling reactions.

The basketball that every kids seems to want. Play during the day and night! They also offer footballs, soccer balls, and volleyballs.

Metal Detector For Kids

If this doesn’t keep kids entertained I don’t know what does. Super light weight for kids to carry as they hunt for hidden treasures.

Beyblade Pack

A favorite for kids and adults. I have been sucked into playing Beyblade battles for way longer than I care to admit.

Loot N Loaded

This was one of the finalists for the ASTRA Best Toys For Kids Awards. A game where you collect items and get to use a nerf like gun to shoot over a bottle to win loot.

Opinel Junior Folding Knive

This makes a great first knife for scouts who have earned their whittling chip.

Bible Bath Bombs + Toys

I just learned about these and think they would be a beautiful gift for younger kids. There is a bible story to read during bath time as the bath bomb fizzes away to reveal a toy. Each story has a life lesson connected to the toy.

Glow Bow & Arrow

Bow & arrows have got an upgrade! 2 LED light up bows, 2 sets of arrows, and 2 targets… let the archery battle begin!

The complete Tuttle Twins 11 book series for kids ages 5-7.  These books teach about the “Golden Rule”, teamwork, business ideas, and more.

The Original Air Fort

Kids will no longer need to rearange furniture and use every clean blanket and sheet in your house. Just attach to a box fan & you have an instant fort.

Combat Battlefield Inflatables

I would bet your child has at least 1 or 2 NERF guns but do they have this inflatable battlefield set? This would be so much fun set up in the yard.  Would work with laser guns as well.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

My son just received one of these and he is so excited. Portable, waterproof, and small enough to put into a backpack.
