When the creations are complete, they can be displayed using the included chopsticks, a small bowl, and a cardboard bento box. (For those who aren’t familiar with Japanese fare, there’s also information provided on the various dishes.) The straightforward instructions—written for around a third-grade reading level—have step-by-step illustrations, with helpful visuals demonstrating the exact amount of clay to pinch off for each project. My daughters, ages 8 and 6 at the time, needed a hand with a few of the tasks that required more dexterity. Once the projects had air-dried overnight, the kids treated their American Girl dolls to lunch.</p><div align="right"><em>—Courtney Schley</em></div><div><div class="ff31b4af"

I like the added creative umph of offering them loving words in rainbow letters with a black matte background. And since my littles have foundational writing skills, they can leave me notes, too. This pack of blank note cards offers so many possibilities: Kids can have fun writing notes to their friends, loved ones, or even to themselves on this paper. They also have potentially practical uses, like reminders, contact info, and brief memos.

Add boiling water—adult help will be needed—and the included packet of powder to a container. Then place the hedgehog figurine inside, and the next day you should have an animal covered in colorful crystals. Part of the fun is the anticipation—we checked on our little guy at regular intervals to see if the crystals had grown. Although our hedgehog’s spine was not quite as dramatic and spiky as it was in the image on the package, its quills did indeed grow and cover its back.</p><div align="right"><em>—Ellen

href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-kids-craft-subscription-boxes/">kids craft subscription boxes</a>. The monthly activity kits, each themed to one of 24 countries, include a craft, an activity book, stickers, a coin, and a chapter book. The first delivery comes in a little blue suitcase, which is packed with a passport, a wall-size world map, and a card where you can insert the various country coins. The boxes are geared for kids ages 6 to 10, and our testers enjoyed making crafts including a macaw mobile, from the Brazil box, and a Weddell seal, from Antarctica. The materials introduce kids to the languages, meals, and landmarks of each country, so they have information to continue exploring independently.</p><div align="right"><em>—Ambreia

But who am I to take away that rite of passage? <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/41958/167128/4/123556/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="7" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/41958/167128/4/123556/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_a-durable-fort-building-kit" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="41958" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/41958/167128/4/123556/?merchant=Amazon">Tote-A-Fort</a> is my solution.

Anchor weights keep them from sinking down, and a cinch sack stores it all. A 5-year-old kid, a 15-pound dog, and I all fit comfortably under the finished product, and the colorful material reminds me of the parachute game from physical education class in elementary school.</p><div align="right"><em>—Kelly Glass</em></div><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-10" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-10-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-10"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-10"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="diy-candy"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="diy-candy-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="DIY candy" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="17">DIY candy</h2><div id="diy-candy-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="diy-candy" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_392737" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Small bags of gummy bears and bowls of water and pink sugar on a table.

The 18-by-15-inch felt board is attached to a string loop, and it’s portable and light enough that you can hang it from a small nail, tack, hook, or doorknob without making a permanent decor commitment. (Keep in mind that the darts are magnetic and therefore have some heft to them, so you might not want to pick a spot close to any windows.) When it’s not in use, the board rolls up and stores easily. And it’s reversible, with a different target on each side—one with numbered rings and segments, like a traditional dart board, and the other with concentric circles. The 16 magnetic darts are short and snub-nosed; they attract to the board surprisingly well, without being too heavy to hold or throw, and they have yet to make any dents in our walls.</p><div

But I did my research (a Wirecutter editor’s specialty) and realized the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/35513/157684/4/154625/?merchant=SWATCH" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="SWATCH" data-pick-type-id="7" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/35513/157684/4/154625/?merchant=SWATCH" data-vars-store="SWATCH" data-gtm-context="chapter_a-classic-swatch" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="SWATCH" data-pid="35513" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/35513/157684/4/154625/?merchant=SWATCH">Swatch Flik Flak</a> we’ve been recommending for years is still the best first watch for kids. Yes, they’re analog, and, yes, my 5-year-old’s concept of time was more surrealist than realist, but the watch feels solid and of the high quality you’d expect from a Swiss-made wristwatch. The watchmaker also came up with an ingenious idea nearly 40 years ago to help kids learn to tell time: on some models, the characters of brother and sister “Flik” and “Flak” are the minute and hour hands. For example, Flik, who is taller, moves faster around the clock face, while Flak points to each clearly written hour number. And the best part: Within a couple of days, my husband and I could ask our daughter what time it was, and she was right 90% of the time.</p><div align="right"><em>—Rachel Hurn</em></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-grab-bag-of-geodes"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-grab-bag-of-geodes-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A grab bag of geodes" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="20">A grab bag of geodes</h2><div id="a-grab-bag-of-geodes-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-grab-bag-of-geodes" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_392740" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="A magnifying glass and several rocks from the National Geographic Break Open 15 Geodes set, some split open to show crystals inside.

But after you smash them with a hammer (or, for better results, cut them with a tile saw, if you have one), their sparkly, gem-hued, crystal insides are revealed. The open geodes look impressively like pirate-chest treasure, as my son referred to his collection. After taking stock of the treasure, your child can read about geodes in an included booklet, learning how they form and how to identify the different colors and types of crystals inside. And let’s be honest: For many kids (mine included), getting to smash and bash things with a hammer is a gift in and of itself. Safety goggles are included.</p><div align="right"><em>—Nancy Redd</em></div><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p

cows. A clear piece of plastic separates the spaceship from the pasture, where five cows (represented by red, blue, orange, pink, and yellow coins) are grazing—until they’re zapped up with a satisfying magnetic <em>clink</em>, that is. The game comes with 60 cards that show you how to set up the pasture and where to place the cows, and the puzzles become increasingly difficult as you advance.

“That’s the beauty of the box,” said Debbie Imperatore, manager of and buyer at <a href="https://www.funkymonkey.toys/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Funky Monkey Toys</a>. “Put it in front of any kid and they can use their imagination to turn a piece of construction paper into a three-dimensional item.” The box is reusable, and the more than 300 pieces inside are organized by item type and color group. (If you need a larger craft stash, we recommend a 1,000-piece kit, also by Kid Made Modern, in our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/gifts/best-toys-gifts-for-8-year-olds/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">guide to gifts for 8-year-olds</a>.) “It’s so happy-looking that when you put it on the table and kids open it up, they’re wowed,” said Imperatore. (When she gave it to a neighbor, the girl’s mom reported that her daughter was speechless.)</p><div align="right"><em>—Kelly Glass</em></div><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-13" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-13-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-13"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-13"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-monthly-highlight"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-monthly-highlight-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A monthly highlight" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="23">A monthly highlight</h2><div id="a-monthly-highlight-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-monthly-highlight" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_392743" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="A child reading Highlights magazine.

But the 78-year-old magazine has also been updated with a modern and diverse cast of characters. Every month, its 40 pages are packed with puzzles, games, short stories, recipes, art projects, and an advice column.

My 7-year-old understands how to position the blockers to maximize his chances, but I also appreciate that we can remove them from play when his younger sister wants a turn.</p><div align="right"><em>—Amy Miller Kravetz</em></div><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-14" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-14-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-14"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-14"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-hardy-hoop"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-hardy-hoop-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A hardy hoop" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="25">A hardy hoop</h2><div id="a-hardy-hoop-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-hardy-hoop" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_392744" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="A child playing with the Canyon Hoops Kids Hoop.

demonstration of his recently acquired hooping skills as a part of his third-grade parent-teacher conference. After seeing our kid’s enthusiasm, we set out to find a quality Hula-Hoop for him to practice with at home. We called on the expertise of an old friend, Amy Goldstein, who directed the 2014 documentary <em><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3165082/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Hooping Life</a></em>, which explores the subculture of serious hoopers. The durable polyethylene <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36194/179391/4/106193/?merchant=Canyon%20Hoops" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Canyon Hoops" data-pick-type-id="7" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36194/179391/4/106193/?merchant=Canyon%20Hoops" data-vars-store="Canyon Hoops" data-gtm-context="chapter_a-hardy-hoop" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Canyon Hoops" data-pid="36194" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36194/179391/4/106193/?merchant=Canyon%20Hoops">hoop</a> Goldstein recommended (from Oregon-based <a href="https://canyonhoops.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Canyon Hoops</a>) is a splurge. But I know that thinner, flimsier hoops tend to kink out of service within months. And I liked the idea of getting a quality tool to help our not-into-sports kid perhaps excel at an unexpected new pastime. The <a href="https://canyonhoops.com/collections/exercise-and-fitness-hoops" rel="noopener" target="_blank">versions made by Canyon Hoops</a> come in lots of fun, striped designs, as well as in different weights, for beginners or more-advanced hoopers interested in performing all-body tricks.

square—on a piece of paper. The robot pairs with an app or website that kids use to program Artie to create their works of art, advancing from simple, visual drag-and-drop instructions to coding in Python, a popular programming language. Once kids get the hang of it, they can let their imaginations run wild, said STEM education expert Elizabeth Gajdzik, who recommends Artie for kids ages 7 and older. Artie 3000 comes with four washable markers, but it can accommodate any skinny pen. (A downside is that Artie runs on AA batteries, instead of being rechargeable.)</p><div align="right"><em>—Ellen Lee</em></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-lap-harp-that-will-get-play"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-lap-harp-that-will-get-play-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A lap harp that will get play" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="28">A lap harp that will get play</h2><div id="a-lap-harp-that-will-get-play-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-lap-harp-that-will-get-play" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_392741" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="A child playing a Music Maker Lap Harp, following a visual song sheet.

The harp comes fully assembled with 12 different song sheets that slip under the strings and show kids where to pluck; each string corresponds with a printed note. Although this may sound complicated, the setup is surprisingly intuitive, and kids don’t need to know how to read music to play the harp (which I wish had been made clearer in the product description). The harp also arrives pre-tuned—not all do—and it comes with a pick and a replacement wire. In short order, my then-7-year-old was strumming the melody of a few familiar “baby songs” (“Baa Baa Black Sheep,” “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”), and he soon built up enough confidence to work his way through a Bach minuet.

The harp comes fully assembled with 12 different song sheets that slip under the strings and show kids where to pluck; each string corresponds with a printed note. Although this may sound complicated, the setup is surprisingly intuitive, and kids don’t need to know how to read music to play the harp (which I wish had been made clearer in the product description). The harp also arrives pre-tuned—not all do—and it comes with a pick and a replacement wire.

The harp also arrives pre-tuned—not all do—and it comes with a pick and a replacement wire.

I also picked up a simple, carabiner-equipped towline at the local hardware store, so I could give a tired kid a lift when needed. —Kalee Thompson This article was edited by Amy Miller Kravetz and Kalee Thompson.","title":"Their first watercraft","slug":"their-first-watercraft","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null}],"note":{"body":"[{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"p\",\"attribs\":{},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"We’ve most recently added the games \",\"type\":\"text\"},{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"a\",\"attribs\":{\"class\":\"product-link\",\"href\":\"https://wclink.co/link/65418/207646/4/198200/?merchant=Amazon\",\"rel\":\"noopener sponsored\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"data-gtm-trigger\":\"product_link\",\"data-store\":\"Amazon\",\"data-pick-type-id\":7},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"Tenzi\",\"type\":\"text\"}]},{\"data\":\" and \",\"type\":\"text\"},{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"a\",\"attribs\":{\"class\":\"product-link\",\"href\":\"https://wclink.co/link/65421/208040/4/198201/?merchant=Amazon\",\"rel\":\"noopener sponsored\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"data-gtm-trigger\":\"product_link\",\"data-store\":\"Amazon\",\"data-pick-type-id\":7},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"Battle Box\",\"type\":\"text\"}]},{\"data\":\", the activity book \",\"type\":\"text\"},{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"a\",\"attribs\":{\"class\":\"product-link\",\"href\":\"https://wclink.co/link/65422/207650/4/198202/?merchant=Amazon\",\"rel\":\"noopener sponsored\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"data-gtm-trigger\":\"product_link\",\"data-store\":\"Amazon\",\"data-pick-type-id\":7},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"Bracketivity\",\"type\":\"text\"}]},{\"data\":\", and the \",\"type\":\"text\"},{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"a\",\"attribs\":{\"class\":\"product-link\",\"href\":\"https://wclink.co/link/64600/206023/4/198203/?merchant=Little%20Passports\",\"rel\":\"noopener sponsored\",\"target\":\"_blank\",\"data-gtm-trigger\":\"product_link\",\"data-store\":\"Little Passports\",\"data-pick-type-id\":7},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"Little Passports World Adventures\",\"type\":\"text\"}]},{\"data\":\" craft subscription box.\",\"type\":\"text\"}]},{\"data\":\"\\n\",\"type\":\"text\"}]","date":"2024-10-24","hide":0,"label":"","summary":null,"type":"regular"},"toc":{"enabled":false,"title":null,"mobileExpanded":true},"reviewFAQ":{"expand":null,"faq":[]},"highlights":null,"primarySection":{"name":"Gifts","link":"/gifts/"},"auxiliarySection":{"name":"Gifts for babies and kids","link":"/gifts/kids/"},"primaryTerms":["gifts"],"auxiliaryTerms":["kids"],"liveBlogPost":{"isLiveBlogPost":false,"about":null,"coverageStartDate":null,"coverageEndDate":null},"promoNote":{"title":"Early Black Friday Deals","body":"[{\"type\":\"tag\",\"name\":\"p\",\"attribs\":{},\"children\":[{\"data\":\"It's almost Black Friday!
