Creative Kid Gifts Beyond Toys

Any parent would almost certainly concede that their kids have much too many toys if you were to ask them. We wanted to investigate imaginative, interactive possibilities to give the kids in your life for their special day this year, rather than contributing to the issue.

Memberships to Activities

Do you need a gift that goes beyond a toy box? Think about giving your birthday child a membership! Memberships are frequently available for purchase on a monthly or yearly basis at zoos, aquariums, play centers, museums, and other public locations. These memberships, which provide several trips and thrilling experiences all year long, are the presents that keep on giving. The majority of membership-only locations also offer educational programming, giving youngsters the ability to explore their hobbies and learn while having a good time. These memberships help to make lifelong memories that extend beyond the birthday.

Subscription Cases

Kids are joining in on the excitement surrounding the recent explosion in popularity of subscription boxes! These boxes serve a range of interests; for example, STEM boxes encourage inquiry and hands-on learning in math, science, technology, engineering, and science. Craft boxes can encourage creativity and fine motor skills by providing all the materials needed for a brand-new activity every month. Book boxes, on the other hand, provide a carefully chosen assortment of excellent books straight to your door, introducing young readers to a world of novel narratives and fostering a passion for reading that will last a lifetime.

Developing Interests

Want to support your child’s emerging interests? The resources they require to delve deeper into their passion could be the ideal birthday present, and it could be right under your nose. These presents offer the ideal chance to realize their pastime aspirations, whether it’s new cleats to improve their soccer game, a bat to hit home runs in baseball, or a beginner camera to enhance their photography talents. Other enjoyable suggestions are creative painting kits, yarn or crocheting supplies, gardening equipment to design your ideal garden, or even a telescope to study the night sky. Giving them the equipment for their interests is an investment in their future hobby discovery rather than a gift.

A Day of “Yes”

A birthday child’s fantasy day can help you make priceless memories! It’s all about celebrating them and fulfilling their dreams on this “yes day” (within reason, of course!). This special day is all about spending quality time and making memories that will last a lifetime, whether it’s an ice cream dinner, mall trip, library visit, or breakfast of champions followed by a movie marathon and shopping spree. Put away the toys; the main goals of this present are celebration, fun, and your incredible child!

Give the birthday children in your lives something special with gift certificates, punch cards, or annual passes from your neighborhood BounceU.* Alternately, schedule a BounceU stop for their “yes” day and bring them along to an Open Bounce session with a friend to play.
