Our daughter and nieces and nephews are older now, 21 of course :) so it was fun to try and celebrate with them but we also know they'll be out testing the water with friends and later after the birthday, they'll slowly go out if they aren't already. With these gifts, it wasn't only ‘fun props’ that I wanted to give but other items for them to be safe during these times, some for comfort and some for play. All these are good for any age and for anyone with older goods, good luck! Happy 21st 😍

I personally like to buy my grandbabies “educational” toys. Growing up I had to use my imagination and pretend a lot. Outside play, riding bikes, playing in the sandbox, playing on the swing set, jump rope, board games and hop scotch. Electronics have taken over and I am seeing more gamers and couch potatoes. Here I'm recommending and reminiscing popular toys today and popular toys from back in the day.
