The Force Is Strong with Family Fun: May the Fourth Activities to Try

”Finding the Right Gift for the Little Ones in my Life”

Now that our kids are older, I struggle trying to figure out what to get my niece, age 5 and my great nephew, age 2. What my kids liked 15-20 years ago is different than today. Both of their birthdays are in December and then there’s Christmas. Being an educator, I always enjoy buying books and learning toys. These are some gifts I have gotten over the past few years. Interactive toys and books to help fuel the imagination and their love for reading. If you are in a similar situation in which your kids are older but you now have younger children in the family, I hope this is helpful. These will work for grandchildren too!
