The Ultimate Kids Gift Guide (Age 0-6)
Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm a mother of two girls (ages 1 and 6) and the founder of The Skin Mission. I help moms simplify their skincare to get youthful, glowing skin in 2 minutes or less.
BUT I also like to help moms in whatever way I can. So I've put together this comprehensive kids gift guide to help you with your gift holiday shopping.
I was also once a Montessori preschool teacher, and we've implemented a lot of Montessori principles in our home over the years. So you'll notice a lot of the toys lean that direction. However, there are a lot of great toys that DON'T fall into that category and I wasn't going to leave those out. My hope is there's something here for everyone.
These are all things that have been used and loved by my girls for many years, so they're time tested and kid approved.
We LOVE great books and found it hard to narrow down our favorites, so I've included quite a few. I plan to share more posts soon dedicated to books alone! I'll be adding to and updating this over time, so check back in the future if you need new ideas!
So here it is- The Ultimate Kids Gift Guide for Ages 0-6. Enjoy!
