Children's Menu
Uncle Bob was far-and-away the most unusual adult in the family and that alone made him
our favorite from an early age. When he came with presents, they were sure to be off-beat and memorable. Here are some ideas for gifts that your kids will enjoy and remember for ages.
Scrabble
This is great fun for anyone who can spell. (LP is itching for a game if anyone wants to come over and play.) | Uno
The classic, easy card game. Bring it along on family road trips for some back-seat sanity. | Etch-a-Sketch
I still can't resist picking one of these up when I see one. Kids stay focused for hours. | Colorforms
These have been around for 50 years. They're a great, creative toy that doesn't have to be plugged in. | Magnetic Building Set
These are meant for '3 years old and up', but I've seen them on desks of software engineers, executives, writers.... They're just fun! | Magnetic Rube Goldberg Toy
This toy is a blast, and it will help keep you occupied while the roast is cooking. | Little Red Wagon
The classic Radio Flyer. Every kid should have one. | Classic Tricycle
Another gem from Radio Flyer. | Appaloosa Mare and Foal
Every child I know dreams of having their own horse. These realistic 1/12th scale models are great for them to imagine it. | Wooden Train Set
Requires no power and supplies loads of fun. | Shut the Box Number Game
Fun and habit forming, this old sailors game is great for those learning their numbers or more seasoned seamen. | Wooden Rocking Horse
One of our favorites as a child. If only our sister would get off and let us have a turn! | I Can Play Piano
A great tool to start youngsters out on the piano. | LeapPad Interactive Learning System
LeapFrog has a done a great job with their interactive teaching tools. This one is for children who are bordering on learning to read. It's very engaging and Mom and Dad can join in or leave the child to experiment. | Wrinkle in Time - Anyone over 11 should read this.
The best. It's a classic that stands up today. |
