Stocking Stuffers For Young Children

Finding stocking stuffers for young children is almost more fun than shopping for the big gifts. I enjoy hunting for small things that don’t cost a lot, but pack some punch in the entertainment department. It has become sort of like a treasure hunt trying to find things that are interesting and won’t break within minutes of opening them. Luckily there are tons of options to choose from this year that won’t drive you crazy shopping and won’t break the bank!

Great Stocking Stuffers For Young Children

Pop Pop Hair Surprise

Pop Pop Hair Surprise is all about surprises that pop, hair you can wear, share and style and the hair-larious characters! Each Pop Pop Hair Surprise comes with 3-in-1 Pop Pets: 1 Pop Brush, 1 Pop Roller and 1 Pop Hair Pet. There are over 25 characters to collect like the Ultra-Rare Twins, Hairy-Kate and Brushly or Calli Clipper the Ultra-Rare Pop Roller? You can collect by themes, hair types, hair colours and Pop pet types. And they will fit perfectily in a stocking!

Flexo Foil Packs

Give a child of any age something to build and they will be entertained and occupied for hours. Designed to inspire creativity while allowing a level of functional buildability and playability, Flexo is a line of flexible construction pieces that bend, bounce, twist, flex and wrap. Flexo comes in play sets that are age-specific, however you don’t have to let that limit your child. Starting with the Foil Packs, these sets are recommended for ages 4 and up. Your little one will be surprised to see their build come to life as a bracelet, a key-chain or even a little friend to play with.

Flexo Builder and Inventor

Next up is the Builder and Inventor Sets, which are suggested for those who are ages six or older. My ten year old son had fun playing with one of the Inventor Sets, which is what he started out on. Whatever the set your child is given, he or she will enjoy creating something fun, but with a little challenge to it. Build for the heck of it and to make a collection. Either way your youngster will enjoy Flexo.

Fart Ninjas

Yes, you are reading that right, but these little collectibles are actually kind of cute. The Fart Ninjas Series 1 is a collection of 8 different figures, each with 10 very realistic motion-activated fart sounds. They will have your littles (and probably the big kids too) laughing hysterically as they try to out ninja one another. Fart Ninjas are trained in the art of espionage, gassassination and skilled in martial farts. 🙂 There is even a free app that allows you to create your own custom fart mixes and a photo booth to take an image and apply your favourite fart ninja stickers too! I know my ten year old will love this!

Uno & Dos

UNO and DOS are two games that are sure to make car rides a lot more fun and they are the perfect stocking stuffer for young children! In each game, you race to get rid of your cards before your opponent and you get to loudly declare how many you have left right before you just might win. 🙂 Uno is one of my son’s most favourite games to play and we love to have matches on the weekend to see how many games we can play in an hour.

Shaped Rubber Bands

Just like the bands we used to wear and have fun with when I was a youngster, Shaped Rubber Bands are back and exciting a new generation of kiddos. These are the must-have accessory that kids can wear, trade and stack! They are available in adorable animal shapes as well as trendy shapes and tons of fun colours. They are made with a new and improved material so they are safer to play with. This collectible accessory makes great stocking stuffers for young children because they can collect a bunch and then trade them with their friends!

Stretchy Sand

Love to play with fun textures? Well, than Stretchy Sand will make you just as happy as your kiddos! It is unlike anything you have ever seen before. Stretchy Sand is solid like clay, flowy like sand and stretchy just like slime. You can do all sorts of things with it like knead it, build shapes with it or stretch it for hours of fun. You just need to keep it stored in the re-sealable tub it comes in. Stretchy Sand comes in pink, purple, green and blue!

Foam Alive

If your kiddos have idle hands or just like to fiddle around with things, they will love Foam Alive.  You can compress this stuff into any shape; maybe a ball, a square or an octagon if you are creative. 🙂 Than watch as it slowly separates and starts to flow like magic! It will appears as if your foam is alive and has something inside of it! It feels pretty cool and will keep everyone entertained for hours.

Disney Parks Wishables

We discovered these micro plush must-haves just a couple of weeks ago and they are so sweet! Inspired by the classic Disney characters and beloved attractions of the Disney franchise, Wishables are available as blind bags or as open edition releases. They are soft, huggable and will steal your heart. Don’t you just love their name? 

CAT Little Machines 5 Pack

Just like their much bigger counterparts, this pack of five mini CAT Rigs are great to play with and will last forever. Kids will delight in pretend play that lets them dig in the dirt or scoop it up and put it in the back of a dump truck. They can haul all the construction stuff they need and create endless stories at the same time – just in miniature! This little pack is perfect for the stocking!
