Encourage Reading With Ivy Kids Kits #HolidayGiftGuide

I was on the hunt this year for the perfect gift idea that would encourage reading for our eight year old son. He struggles so much in this subject area. The monthly kit I found has me super excited because your child will not only get a new book but a bunch of fun activities to go along with it! 

A Cloth Diaper For Christmas From Thirsties Modern Cloth Diapers #HolidayGiftGuide

When I was pregnant and first made the decision to cloth diaper our youngest a couple years ago, we were gifted six diapers for Christmas. I was thrilled!!! Using cloth diapers over the last year and half has helped our tight budget. Plus given the fact they are eco-friendly and just so cute doesn't hurt my opinion of them either. This year for the first time on my Holiday Gift Guide, I have teamed up with one of my favorite cloth diaper brands to showcase an all in one cloth diaper, and give you the chance to win both a diaper and a wet bag! Cloth diapers for Christmas.... the perfect gift! 

Clothing, Jewelry and More Featuring Multicultural Art ~ Create In Me #HolidayGiftGuide

When our son was born last year, I looked everywhere for cute big brother and big sister shirts for our older kids. I just couldn't find anything that worked for us. Not giving up on the idea, I have continued to search for a company that offers these products that would work not just us but for all families too. My search is over, and it was worth the wait. I found a wonderful artist who caters all families with multicultural artwork for clothing, jewelry and items for the home too.

STEM Approved Construction Toys That Light Up ~ Laser Pegs #HolidayGiftGuide

My kids will play with construction toys for hours adding to and perfecting their designs. Do your kids love to build with toys too? I have found an innovative construction toy that will have your kiddos building and learning with light that's STEM approved!

*I received product in order to facilitate this feature. All opinions are my own. see disclosure. 

Laser Pegs is the ultimate construction toy for kids. They offer a variety of sets and products for ages three and up that encourage multidimensional play by combining light with building sets. Laser Pegs are also STEM approved! These fun construction toys promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to be an award winning STEM toy for kids.

The Laser Pegs 24-1 National Geographic Dinosaurs set I received includes 191 construction bricks of all different colors, 27 Laser Pegs that will light up, the triangular power base, and a construction manual that gives step by step graphic instructions to create a T- Rex. (You may also download additional manuals to create the other dinosaurs too.) After building your dinosaur with both the Laser Pegs and construction bricks, the last step to see that creation light up is to attach it to the triangular power base. Your T-Rex or other dinosaur will be illuminated! How fun right?!

The Laser Peg bricks have a slide, stack and spin play pattern that are easy to attach together. We found that they will pop together with ease, and even littler hands should not have a problem building with these toys. This set was approved for ages 5 and up, but there are other options for the younger ones on your list too. This 24-1 National Geographic Dinosaurs set does requires three AA Batteries to power the base, but you may purchase the AC adapter sold separately. I personally would recommend doing so since the more Laser Pegs you use in your design the quicker the batteries will run down.

Our son loves this set, and I can't wait to add more Laser Pegs to his collection. There are other National Geographic sets of different sizes available that explore the sea, land, and space. Laser Pegs also has robots, helicopters, all different types of vehicles, architecture and many more sets to choose from. Keeping learning fun is exactly what I look for in a product or toy. STEM approved Laser Pegs definitely keeps learning fun with their super cool light up construction toys for kids!

Language Fun With Rock 'N Learn #HolidayGiftGuide

For the holidays why not gift some fun foreign language DVDs to give your kids a head start.
