Wooden Stacking Rocks, $30
We’re obsessed with this colorful collection of kid-safe stacking rocks that encourages toddlers as young as 10 months to develop fine motor skills. For older children, it’s fun to stack these pebbles like building blocks and create masterpieces. It’s a sensory blast!

Giant Tortilla Wrap Blanket: $15
Aside from being incredibly photo-worthy, this gift is practical for family movie nights. It’s a soft, fleece blanket they’ll reach for on movie night or to cuddle up with parents. The 60-inch diameter makes it big enough to two adults or several toddlers and kids.
Heck, siblings may even bond.

This is easily the most exciting kids stocking stuffer idea we’ve seen yet. Perfect ages three and up, this instant-print camera offers real printed photos from an easy-to-handle camera frame that’s just so fun to play with.
