Educational Toys
From interactive books to miniature laptops, kids these days are itching to get their hands on the latest educational toys. Young girls will enjoy a pink, sparkly laptop that focuses on math and spelling while your grandson will get hours of fun out of a talking train that teaches him the alphabet while he plays.
Ride on Cars
If you're looking for something that will really make your grandchild's eyes light up, consider getting them a ride-on car. These realistic-looking vehicles are battery powered and allow the driver to zoom around at speeds of up to 5 mph. You can even get a custom paint job in your kiddo's favorite color! They can drive it around the backyard for hours upon end.
Quality Time with Grandma and Grandpa
Money isn't everything, and when it comes to making your grandchild's day brighter, sometimes what they want most is to have fun with those they love. Plan out a day at the local zoo or amusement park and let your grandchild go wild. If you're looking for a simpler activity, younger children will have the time of their lives at a playground while older kids might prefer to see that blockbuster movie that just came out. Either way, bonding time is a present for both you and the little ones.
Personalized Puzzles
Toddlers love putting things together, and a personalized puzzle that spells out their own name is sure to be a hit. With these gifts, there's no need for hectic shopping trips at crowded city malls; you can have a personalized puzzle made online and shipped right to your door. Adults like things personalized, too, and you can quickly and conveniently order almost anything you can imagine with any words or image you can think of. For example, you can order personal checks featuring your favorite sports team at www.checks-superstore.com.
Dolls and Trains
Some toys never go out of style. Though they certainly have a different look than they did 50 years ago, dolls are still a huge favorite with little girls and trains are still the preferred toy of thousands of little boys. Check with mom and dad to see if the kiddos are hoping to get a specific one, and if not, just search the toy aisle for the cutest doll or silliest train you can find!
From miniature laptops to talking dolls, there's no shortage of possible gifts for your grandchildren. With a little planning and a lot of love, you're sure to find a toy that will have your favorite little one jumping for joy.
