I asked on my Instagram Stories what the most stressful part of the holidays was. Someone commented that it was trying to find stocking stuffers that weren’t candy. I’m not anti-candy by any means. However, it seems like my kids always amass so much during the holidays from other sources. So if I can avoid candy in their stockings it’s for the better. Her query about stocking stuffers really got me thinking though–what would be some great educational stocking stuffers for kids? Links contain affiliates, all opinions completely my own.
great educational stocking stuffers
As a homeschool mom I look for every learning opportunity I can. Truth be told–sometimes I hate the actual “school” part of homeschool. I try save my sanity by working in fun learning whenever and however I can. It’s a major win when my kids have no idea that they’re actually soaking up new knowledge. There are so many great educational products on the market today for every age and level of learning. However, it can be a little overwhelming to sift through all the merchandise and determine what’s quality and what’s just stuff. Today I’ve rounded up some of the best educational stocking stuffers for elementary aged kids.
