Hello! I know in “blogger world” this gift guide would be considered late. However, that’s just how I roll. This guide is perfect for girls ages say six to ten. I have several of these things already ordered for the girls and included some of our favorites from years past. Enjoy!
guitar // knit slippers kit // record player // BB gun // slippers // fun vintage record // friendship bracelet maker // illustory // polaroid
This guitar is so cool. It is made of real wood and your purchase includes access to their free app that has everything your kiddo needs to play songs: video lessons, a tuner, and a digital songbook.
The girls are both getting this knit slipper kit. It will be the perfect little handicraft to keep their hands occupied during read aloud time. Could we sound any more homeschooled? I love it!
A record player is an investment….BUT we use ours everyday and it has just been another very important transitional part of our new family routine. It requires intention and forces you to slow down for a second to select a record, put it on, and flip it over when the times comes. Nostalgia forever, man.
We get a lot of our vintage records at local antique stores, but here is a great place online. Try searching for their favorite artist or looking for read-aloud vinyls, all three of my children love those. The girls would love this Tchaikovsky vinyl.
A BB gun is a classic kids gift any kid would be pumped to get. It’s a great opportunity to teach them gun safety and how to act around firearms. Don’t forget the safety goggles!
This illustory is SO cool and a really unique gift! They create their own story, draw pictures to go along with it, and then you send it in and they turn it in to a REAL BOOK.
We got our girls these cameras a couple years back and the pictures that come from them are always amazing. It’s so fun to see their creative eye and also preserve memories from their perspective at the same time. Highly recommend.
Another fun idea is this game. The girls learned to play chess solely playing against each other and now Sophie can beat Josh on occasion.
Some book series Ellie loves are Brambly Hedge and Amelia Bedelia. She’s in first grade. Sophie loved the Boxcar Children series, we found a huge set of them at Costco a while back, so check there. We also absolutely adore the Little House Series, and in my opinion, its one every household needs!
For collection and pretty bookshelf purposes, these books are gorgeous and classic literature!
Here are some more ideas and I’ll add to it as I think of anything else!
