Kids are what make the holidays the extra-special, warm and fuzzy occasion that they are. While we adults see all the merrymaking through jaded eyes, they're just thrilled to be unwrapping boxes with their new favorite things inside! Which is why our favorite part of the holiday season is choosing gifts for the little ones.
Start here for our roundup of presents for babies, toddlers, tweens and teens,
all with budding interests and personality traits of their own. Happy shopping!
Vintage toys are all the rage, they make perfect presents since most of the materials used are natural and the original designs are based on developmental milestones. This Melissa and Doug Deluxe Band 17-piece Set will keep your baby jamming all the way until bedtime ($49.99,
toysrus.com)! What child doesn't love to spell their name? With this puzzle, your baby can practice spelling and using letters ($21.99,
backtobasicstoys.com). Pretty enough to look like artwork if they happen to be left out in the living room, these nesting toys representing Fire, Water, Earth and Air by Grimm's Spiel and Holz (104.95,
childtrek.com) should help unlock babie's imagination as well as teach them about the four elements.
