Super fun to take...
Instant Print Camera for Kids 3-12, Purple
All our kids use these drawing boards and love them! The cheap ones are just as good as the expensive ones in my opinion. These are nice, too, because when the pen inevitably gets lost, any random object will work on the board (unlike the old magneti...
4 Pack 8.5" LCD Writing Tablet for Kids
These are super fun for creative little minds! Our big kids loved these for many years growing up! Just make sure to have a different container than the one they come in to store them after opening…they’re impossible to fit back into the box once the...

We have the older version of the ABC bus and love it for the little kids! This newer one looks like it has some cool features the old one doesn’t though! We especially like that it says the letter sounds and not just which letter is which!

This little metal detector has been so well loved by many of our kids and actually come in clutch more times that I’d like to admit for finding lost items of the adults too! 😆 Totally worth the buy!
