Christmas Gift Ideas for Preschoolers that Don’t Cost Money

Christmas Gift Ideas for Preschoolers that Don’t Cost Money

Don’t break the bank buying gifts for your preschooler that will go by the wayside in just a few weeks!  This season, save a few dollars by making a few gifts for your child to tuck under the tree. Here are some gift ideas for your preschooler that won’t cost money.

Invention box

Encourage creativity in your child by gifting them an invention box—that you can add to all year long!  An invention box can include paper towel rolls, empty Kleenex boxes or oatmeal containers, unused craft supplies like pipe cleaners or scraps of fabric.  When your child is building or having craft time, remind them about their invention box! If you are working on a project as a family, ask your preschooler what items from their invention box would help your project.

Old cell phone

Young children like copying mom and dad.  Even just an old cell phone with a dead battery will offer hours of pretend play talking to grandparents and friends.  Or, clear out a still operational phone that can only be used on WiFi. Add kid-friendly, educational apps and parental controls so that your preschooler isn’t able to accidentally add additional apps.  Also show your child how to use the camera to take their own photos. As a special treat, print their photos into their own photo book.

Yes day

Make a coupon book for your child that includes their favorite things to do with you and say, “YES,” to going with them!  Include activities like going for a walk, playing outside, playing with their favorite toys, cooking together, and playing dress up.

Empty pantry items for a play kitchen

Have a play kitchen to supply? Clean out your own pantry by wrapping up empty, cleaned boxes and seasoning containers.  Your child will spend hours in their kitchen with their new groceries!

Your child will love playing with these no-cost toys long after the tinsel comes off the tree!
