Purchasing more toys for your preschooler may trigger anxious feelings. All you see is more toys to add to the clutter they lovingly decorate your home with each day. Below are a few out-of-the-box ideas for your preschooler that won’t add more clutter or chaos to your house!
Sensory Play Bin
Sensory play is helpful in practicing and strengthening fine motor skills and encourages your preschooler to use her imagination. If you are concerned about potential spills, include a towel or plastic mat to go under the bin to collect spills and make cleanup easier. Learn more about sensory bins and how to create one here.
Special Piggy Bank
Start teaching your preschooler how to save money for items he wants. Choose a bank that reflects your preschooler’s interests and include some cash to help your little one get started. Your preschooler will surely cherish and use this gift as he grows older.
Movie Tickets
Why not treat your preschooler to a movie date? Make a day of the activity by visiting the park and grabbing a meal before or after the movie. Treat your movie date to popcorn and candy to enjoy during the film. Your preschooler (and you) will make cherished memories!
Memberships
Purchase a yearly membership to a local child friendly museum (i.e. science center, butterfly house, ect.), zoo, or adventure park (i.e. trampoline park, water park, amusement park, ect.) for your preschooler to enjoy year round. The membership itself is only part of the gift. The memories you and your preschooler make throughout the year will be the ultimate gift!
Costume Box
Hit up the local thrift stores and collect items your preschooler can use to play dressup. Choose a special box for storing the items. This is a gift that will surely bring many hours of imaginative play!
Gifts for preschoolers do not have to break the bank or add clutter to your home. Your little one is sure to love any gift you choose with her interests in mind, especially if it includes spending time with you!
