The holidays are quickly sneaking up on us and soon we will all be busy buying Christmas presents for the little ones in our life. I’m so excited to bring to you this gift guide which is packed full of the best holiday gifts for preschoolers. This guide contains some fun and educational toy ideas. Yes, I love buying toys for my own son and nieces and nephews, but I always want them to have some educational purpose to them. Of course, the kids don’t need to know that 😉 I like to call this “learning through play”.
I hope you’ll find some good toy ideas in this gift guide and maybe it’ll help make your Christmas shopping go a little easier. At the end of the post, you’ll find a downloadable pdf copy of the gift guide which is linked directly to the products on Amazon {so you can grab the toys with free shipping through Amazon Prime}

Love the art supplies! I’ve always been the artsy one. Can’t get enough markers, color pens and such. I might need to put the Crayola Ultimate Crayon Case on my own wishlist!
Thanks for this list! My eye caught the Lego..maybe because I grew up with Lego blocks 😀
