Happy Thanksgiving people! In this day and age, that means it’s time to talk about Christmas. I know, I don’t like it either. I am usually the mom that waits until the very last minute to buy all Christmas presents, but I am making an effort to do a better job this year. I have a three year old so he is actually really excited and that gets me excited!

My normal Christmas mantra is minimal. My kids do not need any more toys.

So in this guide I’ve highlighted some of the hands-down classic winners, a really expensive but cool learning toy and something I use because I guess I’m just selfish. I am rating them on a “high five” scale. “No high fives” is obviously low to “five high fives” because it’s a must have.

KIBO Stem Robot: So the last toy I have is on the more expensive side but it’s super cool. The nice people at KIBO sent me one of these robots to test out on my kiddo. It is supposed to be for kids age 4-7 so I let my Mom use it in her classroom. Your kid programs the robot by scanning block sequences then pressing start. The robot will go forward, backward, shake, record sounds and other really cool stuff.

Rating: THREE HIGH FIVES! It is a bit expensive but super cool. I think it would work better for an older kid and there is some direction that needs to be given but overall really neat. See it here!
