Made for Kids #11

Welcome to the Made for Kids blog link party! Every week, kid bloggers link up their latest kid's crafts, activities, and kid-friendly recipes.  There are always lots of inspiring new ideas.

Here at Books and Giggles, I've been super busy. Last week I spend hours and hours "shopping" to make the perfect gift guide. Many of the toys I included are the latest versions of my own family's favorites. I've noticed that the toys that get played with the most around here are the open-ended ones.

I also found a few new toys that I'm putting on my own family's gift-giving list. I want to get my shopping done early this year so I can enjoy the holidays more. 

We'll be putting our tree up next weekend, and I can't wait!
