This holiday season, educational toy gift ideas can range from products that teach young children basic coding skills, to those that teach and emphasize the importance of social and personal development.
With programming being an increasingly important skill to master, parents can start their kids young by gifting them items such as the 'Let's Go Code! Activity Set.' This set consists of several foam mats and coding cards, which work together to give young children tactile experience with coding fundamentals.
Sam by Gender Creative Kids Canada is an educational toy that has a Russian doll design. The toy opens up to reveal the transitions, both physical and mental, that Sam experienced throughout his life in realizing that his assigned gender did not match his gender identity. In the end, the educational toy shows Sam as being satisfied with who he is as a trans man. This gift would be an excellent choice for parents of children who are going through similar experiences with their gender identities.
