I'm always on the look out for neat educational toys for my kids. What is Santa bringing your kids? Edit - I found a neat way to see what other homeschools are wishing for. Go to Amazon.com then click on the Wishlist section. Do a search on HOMESCHOOL in the wish list search section. You'll see all kinds of public homeschooling family lists.

Did you see the Rainbow Resource Holiday and Gift Catalog yet? Ooooh, there are a lot of goodies in there. Unfortunately our budget is pretty tight this year so were doing more looking than buying :) |

Anything from Mindware: www.mindwareonline.com/MWESTORE/Home/HomePage.aspx or the Rainbow Resource Christmas catalog. One great thing I recommend for ANY kids, that my son has played (and learned!) with for six years is Snap Circuits: |

Legos are huge in my house. The Snap Circuit set that we got the boys last year is still being played with. I have ordered and received 2 Calvin & Hobbs collections from PBS for the boys this year. Dress up clothes and old costumes for the girls. Last year the big gift was tickets for the whole family to sit in the grandstands to watch the Rose Parade. Lots of hints that they would "REALLY" like that again this year.

Legos, power rangers dress ups, and books for my six yr old boy... Clothes, Barbies and littlest pet shop for my 9 yr old girl plus a couple of Hannah Montana books... anything to strike an interest in reading (I think it's so cool, she's really back into playing with dolls a LOT since we brought her home from school!) and my little girl (3) is getting Dora dolls, Backyardigans dolls, a word whammer, and lots of fun books! As a family we are all getting Wii games, DS games, and DVD's. Gotta love the swap sites! Edie

Xeko.com My son enjoys these cards so much that he is selling them now. It's an environmentally sound and educational alternative to pokimon and such. |

I wish we had the money for a Wii too but we did get something for our ADHD child that can also be educational for the 2 yo/PE Class for the 7 and 11 year olds. It's the new Twister Hopscotch. My 11 yo got a digital camera (can anyone say naure study and photography class). The little one got cars and 2 cars mega blocks cars (and 2 more from my mom). We went really light on gifts this year. |
