Gift idea for mini adventurer

text written by Églantine @maman_pyjama

This is the time of year when the magic of the holidays is slowly spreading through our homes. The race for gifts begins quietly and like many you seek beautiful ideas. You’d like something special for your mini adventure and getaway lover. So maybe I have something for you.

The magic of this period transports us to the North Pole and brings us back to our childhood memories.

We imagine a fairy-tale place, filled with magic and flakes dancing in the wind. We see a funny character dressed in red sitting in his workshop with a long list in hand. Santa Claus and his elves are busy around the world’s great library, checking 1 by 1 the list of children who are wise or not.

This year Santa Claus has many ideas to create and manufacture the most beautiful toys for several styles: princesses, fans of soccer, dancers, fans of dinosaurs and trucks of all kinds, etc. But a small category of children makes him see all the colors. So in order to help him create and make fabulous treasures for mini adventurers, Santa Claus asked his elfin «Pajamas» for a boost.

With his help, here he is with a nice list of ideas to give to the assistant in chief of toys. On this one we find:

1. A super-durable, easy-to-use digital camera ideal for capturing the precious moments of a thousand and one adventures around the world. (ex:Kidamento camera from 3 to 12 years old)


2. An interactive globe that will allow the mini adventurer to learn more about the world around them. There are several kinds adapted to different ages.


3. A complete explorer kit to discover your environment. (e.g.: Joyjoz explorer kit, Tacobear explorer kit)


4. Wooden toys that invite the child to create a universe around travel (e.g. airplane, boat, small van, binoculars, camera, suitcase). Many of his objects can be made by the elves «@CocoVillage» or «@Atelier le Tourniquet».


5. Magnetic games perfect for long walks with parents. ( ex: Janod, Djeco, SmartMax, Auzou or MélissaetDoug)


6. A DIY kit easy to carry and above all is without damage ( ex: Artist Color Wonder Crayola case, stickers, a magnetic drawing board, Magic coloring by Djeco) Then for the youngest why not a Montessori Case.


7. Corporate games that are perfect for backpacking (e.g. Spot It, Smart games, Taken'N Play) or games to learn more about countries and cultures. (e.g. Jeuxface4, Xplore)


8. A world map puzzle.


9. Books about cultural differences, travel and world cuisine. If necessary the «Pascale d'un @unautreblogdemaman» is there to help in the choices.


10. An easy-to-carry story flashlight to escape into an imaginary world on a camping night (e.g., Moulin Roty History Lamp)

11. An interactive storyteller. A small blue box that will give adventurers a moment of calm

12. Little extra: If the little adventurer is already well equipped for escapades and trips. Leave him a certificate for an extraordinary activity with the people they love the most (ex: dinosaur tour at the Cité des Sciences, visit Capelton Mines, visit Santa Claus villages “Frima” and more)
