3 Best Christmas Presents That Will Make This Holiday Season Truly Magical

Is there anything more inspiring and thrilling than the sense of the Holiday Season approaching again? However, once you have kids in your family, Christmas preparations may get more and more stressful and confusing every year.

What are you planning to get your kids this Christmas? This seemingly simple question is, in fact, pretty confusing for most parents. On the one hand, local toy stores are full of pretty exciting toys. But at the same time, we all know that even the most desired doll, action figure, or robot will entertain you, kids, for several hours, and then it will join its numerous predecessors and collect dust in the corner.

Does it mean that modern kids are simply spoilt and overwhelmed with the abundance of the modern toy market and, therefore, cannot focus on one item for too long? In a way. But it is not the main point.

Ironically, those are parents who actually get overwhelmed and sometimes tend to overthink their kids wishes and expectations from the upcoming Holiday Season.

In fact, modern kids are not that much different from us or our parents at the same age. No matter how many toys and gadgets surround us, how advanced are available technologies, and how high is the TV resolution, childhood is the time for creativity, playfulness, and imagination. Moreover, it is also a time when the human body shapes, builds the skeleton and muscles, develops the immunity system and cognitive function.

In this article, we will tell you about three presents that will be perfect for your kids this holiday season and will remain relevant and entertaining for a very long time stimulating your kids imagination and creativity, encouraging them to spend more time outdoors and developing their social skills.

Indoor and Outdoor Playhouses

Every kid needs a place of their own, their castle, a secret lair, a safe, happy place that belongs to them entirely. From this point, an indoor or outdoor playhouse is more than just another toy. It is a whole experience that provides your kids a place where they can develop their imagination, relax after an exciting day at school or have legendary slumber parties with their friends.

Here are a few reasons why you should get your kids an indoor or outdoor playhouse this Christmas:

  • A Place for creativity and imagination – nothing encourages imaginative play better than a playhouse. It is a perfect scenery for make-believe games with friends, siblings, or alone. A wooden playhouse can be anything your kid wants: a theatre, an art gallery, a superhero lair, or a small-scale model of their perfect dream house they will definitely have in the future;
  • Encouragement of unstructured play – unstructured play is a psychological term that means giving your kid an opportunity to go with the flow of their imagination and see where it leads them. It is different from imaginative play, as in this case, you don't even provide your kids a plot of the game. Instead, you only give them the place – their wooden playhouse, and let them do whatever they feel like with it. You may be surprised with the creativity and inventiveness of your own children once they get a whole outdoor playhouse to build their dreamland;
  • Development of social skills – a kids playhouse will instantly become a perfect place to hold slumber parties, birthday celebrations, summer picnics, or science club meetings. It will help your kids develop their social skills, make new friends and build their shared childhood memories together that will last a lifetime;
  • More time outdoors – Once you wish your kids spent more time outdoor, it is essential to give them a reason to do so while keeping them safe and "under the radar." An outdoor playhouse is a perfect solution in this case.

Those are only a few reasons why an indoor or outdoor playhouse would be a perfect present this Christmas. Moreover, those kids playhouses come in various styles, designs, and colors; they are perfectly suitable for different ages and can easily customize according to your kids taste and needs.
