J.K. Rowling has released her new charity book, The Tales of Beedle the Bar, just on time for Christmas. Books are always a tremendous gift for children, but there are other great options for parents who want to give their children something educational or that inspired creativity.

Gifts that encourage children to make things, such as DIY kits, or explore the nature around them, such as labs with microscopes, are incredible ways to open up their eyes to the wonders of the world. Even better is when you can engage in these activities with them.
