Here are some fun ideas for stocking stuffers for kids that make the stockings special for the individual child’s personality:
Bryan (at age 10): a hard-cover book about robotics, a solar panel for his electronics kit (along with LED’s and transistors), a computer game, a new watch, a science kit, an ornament of a sled (since he enjoyed sledding down the hills with his friend), and candy.
Stephen (at age 9): a Transformer robot, a working stethoscope, a recorder and music book, a metronome (for keeping time when playing his guitar), pirate stickers, a three-dimensional bookmark with cool sea creatures, a magic picture book of invisible bugs (they show up when you slide pencil across the page), an ornament of fishing (his favorite activity), and candy.
Nathaniel (at age 7): a Transformer robot, spy sunglasses, a tape measure that snaps back, puffy outer space stickers, a toy submarine that goes under the water (he loved visiting a real submarine last year), cowboy stickers, bug bookmarks, an ornament of ice skates, and candy.
Rachel (at age 5): new hairbrush, doll clothes, pink glow stick, pretend cell phone, ornament of Jack-in-the-Box (highly appropriate for her character), a pink sweater ornament that might just fit one of her dollhouse dolls, craft kit, book about Jesus, and candy.
Hopefully this has given you a few ideas for exciting stocking stuffers for each of your children!
