I don’t know about you, but this mama is tired of all the junky toys that have accumulated in my home over the past three-years. I’ve recently done a BIG declutter around here, and it’s safe to say that this Christmas, we plan to buy less toys and reduce screen time. Our goal is to buy more engaging and mindful toys for our boys.
I’m all about toys that will stimulate the mind AND actually keep my children occupied, engaged and keep them coming back for more! Yes, it is totally possible to find toys like that and I’ve made a list of some of the most popular screen-free toddler toys just in time to start your Christmas shopping!
And the best thing about this list (other than the fact that these toys totally reduce screen time) is that they can all be bought right in the comfort of your own home. Who doesn’t love shopping in their PJs?!
