What to put under the tree: Gifts for children, who are dreaming of adults

CHOOSING GIFTS FOR CHILDREN OR YOUNGER BROTHERS AND SISTERS, we often dwell on what we ourselves would like in childhood - be it a classic dollhouse or a radio control machine. To spend the winter holidays with family it was more fun, we offer to choose toys that will appeal not only to children, but also to other family members - they can be played all together.

Railroad Kids4kids

It seems that everybody, without exception, dreamed about the railroad as a child - if you didn’t have it, you can easily buy it for your child (or yourself) and play enough. It is not for nothing that manufacturers called this road gigantic - it weighs 3.5 kilograms, and when assembled it will stretch more than a meter. In addition to the wooden constructor, locomotive and wagons, a helicopter, several machines, road signs and human figures are included in the set - you get a whole mini-city.

LEGO kit for free design

LEGO designers are equally loved by both children and adults - the company tries to please both those, releasing sets designed for fans from one and a half years to infinity. Among them, there is also a win-win option for the whole family - classic sets of multi-colored parts, from which you can put everything you want. They can buy additional cubes and building plates - so that the long winter holidays will fly by.

Magnetic Designer

Designer is one of the win-win gift options: it’s nice to create something with your own hands at any age. The details of this magnetic designer are made of durable plastic, so that it is suitable for children of different ages: the smallest can simply study the components (and along with them - different colors and shapes), and older children - connect them into figures.

Adventure Time Board Game

There are almost more adults among the Adventure Time fans than children, the same can be said about this board game. "Card Wars" are designed for two players and are based on a nastolka, which in the cartoon play themselves Finn and Jake. There are no special effects here, but the rules are just as tangled - but the winter break is enough to understand them.

Dollhouse

Another childhood dream that everyone can understand is a spacious dollhouse. There are several floors in the Melissa & Doug toy, there is a variety of furniture, a working elevator (it must be raised and lowered manually), as well as a car and a garage for it - the puppet dwellers have settled well. The creators of the house emphasize that they were striving to do the thing that both boys and girls would use - this explains both the neutral colors and how simple the dolls look.

Creativity set of cardboard boxes

One of the most unobvious points of this list is a set that allows you to turn unnecessary cardboard boxes into toys: you can assemble at least a robot, even a fort, even a car — there would be enough cardboard. The set includes a safe saw, plastic screws, with which you need to connect parts of the boxes, and a special screwdriver. All this splendor is intended for children from the age of six, but four-year-olds can use it - under the supervision of adults.

Set to create cartoons

Another game that was not in our childhood is a pity. With this set you can create your own cartoons - you only need a smartphone with any application to create a stop-motion animation. At the disposal of the person who bought the clay to create cartoon characters, a small stage, several backgrounds and scenery, a tripod for the phone and an instruction book. In the same online store you can find a set that is much more complicated and expensive, created with the participation of the British animation studio Aardman.

FM Radio Assembly Kit

On the MoMA website you can find many unusual toys for children - from designers to table football. We liked the set, with which you can build a FM-radio, running on batteries. The detailed instruction is attached to it, and all details differ from each other in color. So, to understand the principle of operation of the device for a child of eight years and older will be quite easy - but you probably want to put it together.

Radio controlled aircraft

Not the cheapest, but the impressive model of the aircraft on the radio, worked out to the smallest detail - in the cockpit there is even a figure of the pilot. It’s not a good idea to give such a plane to a small child (it’s not so easy to operate it), but it should please the teenager. If you do not have any experience in handling models on remote control, it is better to start with a simpler one, but experienced pilots will surely like it.

Hut

We all remember how cool it was in childhood to build a fortress or a hut of chairs, sheets and pillows. In online stores there is an option not worse - a real hut that can be put right in the middle of the nursery. It can be of several sizes, for example, two meters and a half, so that there will be enough space in it for everyone. If you want something more unusual (and democratic), try a set for the construction of pipes - there is where to turn fantasy.
