I’m not much on asking for things, but Christmas time is special. First, we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus and share that love openly with the world! Second, we get to dream, window shop, and of course share our Child Led Life top gifts for preschoolers Christmas wish list. This year I’m making my list public with a list of items I would love to see in our Montessori Inspired home.
Top Gifts
Magna-Tiles® Clear Colors have been on my list for a long time. Aren’t they great?! They have so much potential and would be a perfect open play addition to our home.
K’nex 70 Model Building Set would be great for my two little engineers. They love to build and this would give a new way to create!
Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn has so many features I love. It opens like a doll house to allow open play. This would be great to use with the Montessori Grammar Farm game.
Farm TOOB animals would of course add a little more to our barn and farm game.
MindWare Pattern Play would go great with our Imaginets. Both of my kids love patterns and would have a blast working with all these different colors and shapes.
Sequence for Kids looks like a lot of fun. Now that Ava is a little older, some younger kids games are a lot of fun to play at home. Glad we get a family game night in as often as we can.
Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Calendar I think would really help my kids. I’m always working off a calender and often tell them we have to consult the calendar to see what our days have in store for us. They would get a lot of use out of this!
Judy Clock would also help with our discussions on scheduling. Often I refer to a certain time of day as being important and it would be great to teach the kids how to read that time on an analog clock.
Children’s Card Games just seem classic. I feel like a bad parent because I have not played Old Maid with my kids yet!
Little Passports looks like so much fun. They just came out with a new Early Explorers program for ages 3-5! It’s going on the list.
ISeeMe.com created personalized books for kids. With as much as my kids love books, I can’t help but at at least one book to our Christmas wish list.
Important Christmas Wish
The last thing I always love to suggest to my family is to plan an outing with my kids. Take them to a movie, out for ice cream, to a special show, or just go to the park! Memories are made with experiences and not just by what is under the tree Christmas morning.

AND since I’m making the list here’s what I would love to have.
SmartWool Margarita Womens Socks are my all time favorite. I guess I’m officially a mother now that I ask for sock for Christmas and can think of many wonderful gifts for my kids!

These gifts are excellent for them. Thank you for sharing this list with us. Very helpful when you don’t know what get.
Thank you, Joyce! I hope it will help my family. They have been asking me a lot in the last few weeks for Christmas ideas.
It is such an important time of the year and a time to teach the joy of giving just as much as receiving.
I agree. My kids love making their gifts. At their age, the gifts are so creative and special.
I love all the Christmas gift suggestions. I remember how much my children loved their farm set. And, the personalized ‘Night before Christmas’ book is so cute. Thanks for sharing these suggestions.
Thanks for stopping by Linda! I am excited about the barn too. I have been looking around for months for the right deal!
Great list! I am getting all my shopping done early this year! I don’t have time to fight the crowds this year! LOL
I agree! I’m not up for crowds. I’m getting more online too. Better deals for a lot of when I want to get. 🙂
Loving that Melissa & Doug barn – looks like fun!
Thank you for the wonderful gift ideas!
Glad you like them, Susan! Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Fantastic gift suggestions! Those Magna-Tiles look like so much fun 🙂
Ooh! These are really great! I think that my son would really love some of these products! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like them, Jennifer! How old is your son?
I also try to avoid crowds I love the internet when it comes to shopping esp. for kids. You could find a whole lot of stuff at better prices. Thanks for sharing.
I completely agree! One year I did about all my shopping on Groupon and love it! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Great list, Marie! And thanks so much for linking to my posts. I’m having so much fun revisiting stages of development with my granddaughter … although she’s just starting the toddler ones now. It won’t be long before I’ll be looking for preschool toys, too. 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by, Deb! Your posts has been my inspiration for many years. Glad to share with a new group of viewers.
I love that Melissa & Doug folding barn! Definitely adding it to my little one’s wish list.
Great selections. I love that barn. 🙂
