Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Girls
1) Kids Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Too much screen time for little eyes? Try a pair of blue light blocking glasses for kids. The flexible, playtime-friendly specs have polycarbonate lenses that block up to 35% of HEV—aka blue—light from a phone, tablet, or computer screen that can cause eye fatigue, headaches, and disrupt sleep. These glasses also block 100% UVA and UVB rays for even more eye protection.
2) Quixo Wooden Strategy Board Game
Quixo is easy to get the hang of and an enjoyable challenge to play (and play again). The strategy game entails sliding and arranging cubes to line up in rows of X’s or O’s, even as the game board changes with each turn. Crafted of sturdy wood, it’s made to last for many rounds of play.
3) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
4) Kid's Audio Storyteller & Headphones Set
The Kid's Audio Storyteller & Headphones Set encourages children to engage in the story-telling process and craft their own stories. The storyteller comes preloaded with 48 stories, and 12 additional stories are free to download from Lunii's exclusive digital library. The headphones are just the right size for little ears, and the volume limit of 85db makes them safe for young listeners.
5) Intention Bracelet
