Useful Gifts for Kids – The Tools of Childhood

If you’re looking for useful gifts for kids, put together one of these gift baskets of useful items for children: gardening, cooking, exploring, creating.

Useful Gifts for Kids

I’ve praised Imagine Childhood to the moon and back for their quality toys, tools, and useful gifts for kids. Some of our very favorite things come from this special shop (you can read about them here and here and here).

So when they asked me to write a post for them, I said of course.

I decided to put together some themed gift kits for kids containing useful items—the tools of childhood—that I thought would be especially perfect for spring and summer.

You could give these as:

Easter baskets

Just ’cause gifts

Birthday gifts

Spring break activities

End-of-the school year gifts

Just-before-a-trip gifts

I had so much fun putting together this collection of useful gifts for kids! You’ll find a cooking gift basket, a gardening gift, art supplies (of course!), an explorer’s kit, and, since Easter is coming up, a creative Easter basket gift.

They are a small family run business, have been Artful Parent sponsors off and on in the past, and this is a sponsored post (as always, all opinions expressed are my own).
