I have already started planning my gift giving for the holiday season and I think the toughest to buy for the kiddos. Between the hubs and I - we have 6 to shop for and they are all under the age of 12. I want to be a semi cool auntie but still give them something of substance.
A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein. I think some of the best imagination is in this book. I often still of several of the poems that have inspired my art work. Hopefully I can pass on some magic that inspired me to someone else.
Sharks really freaked me out as a kid- I think it's mainly because of the Jaw movies ;) but they make this cool puzzle anatomy models now.
Of course I want to give
art supplies! but I found this really awesome pack that teaches kids about the modern art. I think it's so important to teach kids about art especially art history. Wouldn't you want this if you were a kid :)?
I love giving
science gifts- but i have to admit i love giving kid gifts that make a mess. I know it may drive my sisters crazy but the kids love it!
Have you started making your Christmas shopping list?

oh my gosh I love those owls!
You're pretty spot on with this gift guide! I love it! That tree is heaven!
Stop by and enter my Shabby Apple giveaway!
A Light In The Attic is hands down one of my favorite books. This Bridge makes me cry every time I read it or really even think about it!
I always have the hardest time shopping for kids. This was really helpful!
I think shopping for kids is especially difficult, excellent tips as well!
Wonderful ideas! A Light in the Attic is a classic. I always like shopping for kids, but the ones in my family are teenagers now.

Oh yes, what kid doesn't love Shel Silverstein? Great ideas!
Awesome kid gift ideas! I love to buy art supplies for others, too. I think that it's better to give gifts that will make a mess than gifts that make a lot of noise and/or require batteries.
I definitely have started making my shopping list for this year. The most shopping I can do early, the better.
*screaaammmmmsss!* I LOVE THE 1st Picture! hahah omg :<

This is the first year I started planning gifts early. I think I started a few weeks ago :)
I adored that book as a child and still love it, now my girls read it and love it too - great gift idea :))
I'm not really a kid anymore, but I WANT THAT CANDY TREE!!!!! :)
The tree looks delectable!
I want that tree. And I thought mine was crazy!!
Those owls are awesome. Such a great guide!
LOVE "A Light in the Attic" and I agree on the importance of art and being creative with children! Lovely blog!

That tree is amazing! I want one!
I love all of these gifts! My favourite things for children are things like this: books, art supplies, sciencey things. So much better than boring plastic toys!
Great gift ideas! I LOVE Shel Silverstein!
That tree is 'wonderous! Magic in itself.
If you have any 8-10 age to buy for, check out my book (a cyberspace adventure and a little whacky). You can look inside on amazon.com, so you will know if it is right. Violet Jelly by Ann Sharples.
Just telling you because it is fun, according to those who have read it.
What a great gift guide.
Such a cute list!
Every kid either needs an arty or science based 'mess' making gift at some stage or another. That's my opinion anyway, I think it goes with grass stain & grazed knees - it has to be done!
I want that tree in my life - stunning. Enjoy Christmas gift shopping. x
Those owl drawings are so cute! =)

I find it so challenging to buy christmas gifts for Niecephews these days! But I love these ideas, they're awesome.
Wow! Awesome gifts to the kids. :)
I've never read A Light in the Attic! But I loved his other book The Giving Tree, so I assume I'll love that one as well?
