I am sharing my picks for the best kid stocking stuffers that include gifts to inspire creativity and exploration in children.
You may be surprised that I have even added a headlamp to my list of stocking stuffer ideas for kids.
Each of my kids has a headlamp, and the excitement they get from running outside after dark or just playing around the house with their headlamps is unmatched.
The fun outdoor games your kids enjoy (think tag, hide-n-seek, two-hand touch football) are even better with a headlamp.
From art supplies to board games to nature-themed toys, there’s something out there for every kid this holiday season!
