    Nancy L. said:  The Chelsea line of dolls are sweet, simple, and much smaller than the standard Barbie. These dolls are 6 inches tall and thicker than a traditional Barbie, making them easier for little ones to play with, and sized just right to use as stocking stuffers for toddlers and younger kids.

    Erynn said:  Candy is always a great stocking stuffer for kids, right? But not so much for grownups who are concerned about dental health! That's why Zollipops are so great--my kids think they're having a sweet treat, but what they're really getting is tooth-healthy xylitol and erythritol, ingredients which are dentist-approved to help clean teeth and avoid cavities. Plus, they were created by a "kidpreneur"--how cool is that?

    Kristy Pepping said:  No matter how many times we wash our tub toys, they seem to get old and wear out over time. New bath toys are great stocking stuffer ideas for kids. This one is a cloud that rains when soaked in water. Kids can place their finger on the hole to make it stop raining.
