Kids Stockings // Gift Guide

Stocking stuffers are always ones that I have a hard time with. I’m not a huge fan of cheap/breakable little toys so it takes me some time to collect items for the kid’s stockings. While they may not be the flashy light up plastic stocking stuffers we are all used to, these are all fantastic items that will last longer and encourage engagement.

01 make your own motor boat // Build your own boat out of a small plank of wood or thick paper. Such a fun activity for rainy days.
02 Children's Chopsticks // Handcrafted utensils from sustainably grown cherry wood, these are a great way for little ones to start learning how to use chopsticks.
03 Koma Spinning Top // These traditional Japanese wooden spinning tops are made by hand. Each top has a unique, delicate beauty and makes a great host gift. (Best for older kids)
