From then on, after dinner, my family would sit around the table and play dominoes. The best thing about dominoes is that they're such a versatile game piece - there are more than 100 different games you can play to involve even younger kids.

Kristy Pepping said:  Although there have been new "putty" brands to come on the market, nothing compares to the original Silly Putty, especially when you need cheap stocking stuffer ideas for kids. Not only are kids able to stretch and pull it, but they can make imprints of newspapers or magazines from around the house. Plus, we have found in our house it doesn't stick to carpeting nearly as much as the newer putty on the market.

Kristy Pepping said:  Sometimes kids think holiday time is all about getting presents and a stocking full of fun. While that may be a component, it's nice to teach kids to give back as well. Purchase a charity gift card for their stocking this year. This site offers several charity options.

Dawn Denning said:  Stacking cups is fun for kids of all ages. My kiddos love to race against one another to see who can stack the most cups the fastest, but it can also be played solo to race the timer as a Minute to Win It game.

Kelly R. said:  Kids can build some pretty amazing things with these mini building pieces, even though they're all shaped the same. My kids have turned out armies of adorable mini reindeer. They make a great road trip toy!

Kristy Pepping said:  This cute bunny is a family wellness favorite and comes with an ice cube that you place in the freezer. Next time your child has a little boo boo and needs ice, pull the re-freezable ice cube from the freezer and place in the little bunny. It's comforting and also nice to hold onto so as not to freeze their little fingers.
