Best Educational Gifts for Kids this Christmas

Instead of the usual Christmas toys (doll houses and action figures) you’ll be gifting the little ones in your life this year, go for educational toys such as building blocks and LEGO sets to stimulate their creativity and thinking skills. There’s nothing as educational or interesting as learning to design shapes and structures while keeping a kid’s attention span fixed for long (or at least, longer than a TV show!)

Here are some gift ideas you can ShopandBox this Christmas:
