And it is much easier to clean up as well – just roll the sand around to stick all the pieces together again.

It is safe, non-toxic, and a whole lot of fun. The sand will never dry out, meaning your kids can enjoy their presents for months down the road. It also provides a wide range of sensory experiences for children and supports their physical development in areas such as fine motor skills.

3. A Bicycle

What is pure and simple fun and encourages your kids to go outside and get physically active. A bicycle of course! Once your child masters the art of cycling, they will be able to engage in a fun and free activity together with their friends and family. It also builds confidence and enhances their awareness of their surroundings. You can also spend time by bringing them to the road safety park at ECP and teaching them the traffic rules they need to follow. 

You also get to have some parent-child bonding time as you teach them how to ride their bike. It’s good exercise, it improves physical health, and it also benefits your child’s learning development and mental health. Taking part in regular physical activity also gives them more opportunities to make social connections.

4. A Room Makeover

To a child, their bedroom is more than just a place to rest. It is a place that can transform into whatever they fancy. So why not, this Christmas, give them something to be excited about for the new year; A room makeover! Build their space into something that reflects their personality. Since bedding makes a world of difference, perhaps you could spend time with your child choosing a novel bed such as a racecar bed or a loft bed. Share the season’s warmth with your child as you spend time cuddling with them and reading their favourite Christmas bedtime stories. This present also provides you with the perfect bonding opportunity; to decorate the room together.
