Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Girls
1) Quixo Wooden Strategy Board Game
Quixo is easy to get the hang of and an enjoyable challenge to play (and play again). The strategy game entails sliding and arranging cubes to line up in rows of X’s or O’s, even as the game board changes with each turn. Crafted of sturdy wood, it’s made to last for many rounds of play.
2) Iconic Structure Toy Construction Set
This scale model kit uses real materials to build a mini replica of a famous place. Step-by-step instructions lead you through the construction of an iconic structure, or you can go freestyle and create your own landmark. Bricks are made with natural materials and non-toxic glue binds it all together.
3) Katamino Brain Teaser Puzzle
Katamino is a brain teaser puzzle with 500 engaging solo challenges that progress in difficulty level, so you’ll want to keep returning for more. Its board and colorful interlocking pieces are crafted with wood, making it a great looking and engaging way to play.
4) Wave-Powered Surfer
Surfer Dudes: Wave-Powered Surfer - Aussie Alice (Purple)
5) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
