Nerf Gifts
Not sure what to get the big kids on your list and stay within your budget? The answer, of course, is Nerf blasters. Here are my favorite inexpensive gifts available this holiday season:
This high quality Nerf gun was designed as a compact blaster for a surprise attack. Hide it in your bag, pocket, or behind your back to surprise anyone and everyone this holiday season.
Any kid that loves a fun surprise will love this great gift!
This is the perfect toy for the kid who loves Nerf guns - the mini Nerf basketball hoop! The backboard fits over the door for hours of foam basketball play indoors. A great idea for the kid who can't get enough of sports - even on a rainy day!
Board Game Gifts
Board games and popular card games are the perfect gift for kids under $10 that the entire family can enjoy! Here are 2 that are always a win with my kids:
Simple games like this one are always a welcome gift among young children. Little ones will enjoy playing Candy Land as they race to the castle. It's the perfect way to introduce colors, counting, and taking turns. My little girl and boy love this game, and it's so much fun for the whole family!
Our family loves family game night, and our children love board games that the entire family can play. Hedbanz is a hilarious family game where players draw a card on their turn and ask “yes” or “no” questions to figure out what their card says. We always end up having a blast with this game, and we know you will too!
For 2-6 players, ages 8 and up. (FYI - our 6 year old can play with help)
The eeBoo Dinosaurs Little Memory and Matching Game is such a cool gift for little dino fans! It's not just fun – it's secretly educational too. The game helps kids improve their memory and matching skills while they're having a blast with the dinosaur theme. Plus, it's a sneaky way to teach them about different kinds of dinos and get them excited about natural history. It's like the best of both worlds – fun and learning all rolled into one awesome game!
This classic game is perfect for anyone 5 and older and can be played over and over.
Take it up a notch this year by updating the pictures to your own family members! That way everyone can feel included.
Art Supplies
Gifting kids new art supplies is a quick way to encourage creativity and hours of entertainment! Here are a few of my favorites for your budding artist:
If you haven't tried scratch paper art, you're missing out! Use the scratcher to scratch away the black matte surface of the paper, revealing the background of different colors to make a cool rainbow picture! It's so fun, and allows for amazing creative artwork, signs, and more!
Makes an excellent arts and crafts activity for kids. Includes 50 scratch paper sheets, 5 wooden stylus, 4 drawing stencils, and a cleaning brush.
My kids got this as a birthday gift one year and it was so much fun for all of us (myself included!). The kit includes 10 river rocks, plus paint and paint brushes to decorate the rocks. Let them dry and watch them glow in the dark when the lights are out! We had enough paint left over to paint more rocks too.
We have found some awesome options for cool gifts for kids under $10. This way, you can give presents to everyone on your list and save money this holiday season. What could be better?
