7 Awesome gifts for children, but not just gifts https://www.qriyo.com/blog/awesome-gifts-for-children
Is your child’s birthday coming up and you don’t want to gift them something that is all fun but not useful? Then this article will give you great gift ideas for children. They are not just gifts for children, they are an opportunity for parents to point children towards the right direction. Your gift plays a great role in shaping the next 6 months or a year of your child. That could then result in a new skill or personal development. If not a birthday, Christmas and new year are right around the corner. These gifts are age appropriate ones, some of them are suitable for children and some of them can be more suitable for a teenager
DIY (Do it yourself) kits • This reminds of a famous YouTuber, Casey Neistat who believes in “Build over buy”. DIY kits are a great way to impart creative skills and an aptitude for science in children. Since a lot of kids these days run away from science projects because they don’t have a proper exposure and practical experience, DIY kits will encourage them to build something from scratch and get to know how things are made and how they work. There are lots of fun DIY kits available online that apart from being a gift, are also a way to learn something new. DIY kits are suitable for small children, a teenager won’t be happy to see a DIY kit on their birthday. However, you can still gift them on other occasions, if you think its useful for them to understand science better, as I have mentioned in my previous post.
An equipment upgrade for their hobbies • If your child has an interest in learning piano, or guitar, or any other hobby, then now is the time to gift them a new equipment and take their skill to a new level. As you must already know, if someone pursues a skill right from the childhood, there is a very good chance of that translating into a successful career. Academics are not the only way to succeed in life. Gifting these equipment doesn’t require a specific age, your child should have an interest in pursuing their hobby. If they like photography, gift them a new camera. If they like skating, gift them new skates. Gifts for children have to be something they love otherwise it’s not a gift, get them something related to any hobby that they are int
A computer upgrade • Every child uses a computer for different purposes. If your child likes to design new things, or he/she wants to learn video editing, then gifting them a mid-high-end computer upgrade is a great idea. You can either go for the partsupgrade or get a new PC altogether, depending on your current one. Children are always curious, today, even a small kid knows how to operate a computer. However, you should keep a degree of discipline in your home, so that the child never misuses the gadgets. That being said, children over 6th or 7th grade can start to show interest in a valuable computer skill (editing, drawing, etc)
Video games • Even if your child likes to play video games, you should not restrict them entirely. Video games in moderation play an imperative role in child’s brain development. You can gift them new strategy games or mission games. Video games can easily be played on a good computer, not necessarily on a game console. Gmaes are also age apropriate. Just make sure to check the label of the game, if it’s 18+, better wait for it a few more years. Video games are great gifts for children, and they don’t have to be addictive, that will totally depend on your house rules.
