Non Toy Gifts For 1-2 Year Olds:
1. Leap Frog Book
How cool is this Leap Frog Book?! It contains more than 100 words, and when you touch a picture in the book it plays the word. This would make a great educational gift idea.
2. Puzzles
I am obsessed with anything by Melissa and Doug. These wooden puzzles with jumbo pegs are the perfect first puzzles to buy your toddler! My daughter loved these puzzles when she was younger, and the wooden pegs make it easy for little hands to grasp the puzzle pieces and put them back.
3. Drawing Board
Doodle boards are a classic toddler must-have! Both of my kids loved these as toddlers, and they would take them on car rides to keep themselves entertained.
4. Push Car
This push car is adorable, and it would be so fun to take your toddler on walks while they ride in their “minicar”. Seriously, any toddler would love this!
5. Pajamas or Clothes
Toddlers are constantly outgrowing their clothes, so clothing items make the perfect useful gift.
Non Toy Gifts For 3-4 Year Olds:
6. Writing / Drawing Tablet
I love this drawing tablet for toddlers that are a little older. They can write or draw on it and press the button to erase it and start over. This is on both of my kid’s Christmas lists this year.
7. Pedal and Push Tricycle
How cool is this tricycle? I remember wanting this when my son was a toddler. It is a tricycle that you can push your toddler on, and it also turns into a classic tricycle! This would be so fun to take your toddler on walks.
8. Indoor Trampoline
My kids have this, and they are obsessed with it. It’s not too big and can fit in the corner of a room. My kids burn a ton of energy on this thing!
9. Dress Up Clothes

Dress-up clothes are so fun, and they inspire kids to use their imagination. My kids are constantly playing dress-up and playing different characters.
10. Dress Up Closet
Ok, this is the cutest dress-up closet I’ve ever seen, and I love the mirror on the side!
11. Book Shelf
This is a great way to display and organize children’s books. Your toddler will be able to see all of their books which makes it easier for them to find their favorite books.
Non Toy Gifts For 5-6 Year Olds:
12. Stuffed Animal Storage / Bean Bag
This is genius! If your child has way too many stuffed animals, you and your child will love this. You can store stuffed animals in this storage bag and use it as a bean bag chair. My kids love this because they have a new bean bag to sit on, and I love it because it contains a large number of stuffed animals (and gets them out of the way).
13. Board Games
These board games are classics and super fun to play!
14. Drawing and Stencils Set
This adorable set comes with stencils, paper, colored pencils, a sharpener, and a case to carry it all. It is the perfect creative gift idea that your kid can take anywhere.

16. Rock Painting Set
This rock painting kit comes with everything you need to get creative and create cute and silly rocks. This was a hit with my kids, and they used the rocks as decor on their desks.
17. Pattern Blocks
Pattern blocks are #1 on my daughter’s Christmas list this year. She plays with them in her Kindergarten class and wants her own set for home. They are great because they inspire creativity and learning!
Non Toy Gifts For 7-8 Year Olds:
18. Scratch Art Books
Scratch-art is so cool, and it’s popular among kids right now. These books even come with stencils. This would make a great creative non toy gift for kids!

20. Create Your Own Comic
A blank comic book is the perfect non toy gift for boys! My son was obsessed with reading Captain Underpants and wanted to make his own comic book, so I bought this. It was a hit and he keeps asking me to buy more. This will inspire your child to create stories!
21. Scooter
Scooters are the perfect gift to get your child off their tablet and outside! They are also great to have if you like to go on walks with your child.
22. Bike/Scooter Helmet
If your child is getting a bike or scooter as a gift, don’t forget to get a helmet. This one is super sleek and has over 4.5 stars.
23. Brain Quest
Brain quest is a must-have for kids! This has 1,000 questions and answers that will help your child learn about grade-level curriculum in a fun way! Your child can read this on their own or with other people. Brain quest is perfect to take on car rides or to read before bed. I get these for my kids every year, and they are always a great gift!
