Inexpensive, Interest and Skill Building Children's Gifts

Hannah, trying a rag rug on her weaving loom.

Over the years we have have tried to look for inexpensive gifts for the kids that will not only be meaningful in connection with our farm and lifestyle, but will also develop skills and talents that they can build upon.  With the gift giving season approaching, I thought it would be fun to share with you a collection of what has been shared with the kids over the years.

Here you will find a compilation of toys, activities, books, and videos. (Many videos reach out to interests we can't commit to off farm.)  For ease of viewing, I've grouped them by girl/boy, although they are often enjoyed by both genders. Also, they are listed somewhat in order from younger interests to older interests. 

Enjoy!

Strawberry Blossoms!


We're coming upon my favorite time of the garden year!

Last year we had as many strawberries as we could eat, freeze, and preserve for family. I also had enough to make Crooked Gap Farm Jam to sell throughout the year. This year I am looking to have 3 times the berries as last year.

Hmmm. . . What to do, what to do?
