Educational Gifts for Children

As a teacher I love to give educational gifts as often as possible. Some items are great for a season, but educational gifts can be wonderful for years and easily be passed along to other children once the child has outgrown them. I’m going to share with you my top rated picks which are teacher and parent approved.

I don’t use television in the classroom often, but when I do, I have one tried and true educational series for a resource. I love Two Little Hands, and today (Tuesday, November 25th) and now extended through Wednesday, November 26th, they are running a special in which the DVDs are $10 (U.S.), which is the price that I stock up on. That’s 50%off or more! If you live internationally, you can access the digital store. Just click on one of the links below and scroll down until you see “DIGITAL” followed by the title of the DVD. Click on that, and it will give you will be able to purchase the digital version.
