  • The Children's Tipi. Sizes range from 5' - 12'. Made out of a durable canvas and some Tipis come with paint, so the kids can design their own patterns on the outside. (Paint is sold separately for the one's that don't come with it.)

Crayola.com

We're all quite familiar with Crayola, but they've gone way beyond just making crayons and many products you see on this site, you've probably never run across in a store. There's something for all ages. Here's a few examples of what you'll find:

  • Dry Erase Learning Book. Reusable and inexpensive, this product comes with 10 different learning activities, and is great for ages 4 and up.
  • Dolphin Activity Kit. This kit has several different activities for kids that are 6 and up. (There's also a dinosaur activity kit available.)
  • Crayola Art Projector. Kids can draw on reusable slides and project their artwork into a slide show.
  • Color Wonder Markers. These you can usually find at stores, but if you don't know about this product, acquaint yourself, because these markers will only work on Color Wonder Paper, so if you know of a little one that enjoys coloring walls, themselves, or anything else besides paper, this is a great gift. Their parents will thank you.
WBShop.com
If a child has a favorite cartoon character, it's easy to find something special at stores like the WBShop.com and the SnoopyStore.com. The WBShop (Warner Bros.) carries characters like Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, Scooby Doo, Batman, Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter, Superman, Powerpuff Girls and more.

The Warner Bros.character products are not readily available at the local mall, so odds are that the little one you're shopping for won't already have the gift you've found from these online stores.

One of the luxuries of shopping online is the ability to see lots of merchandise with little effort, so as a general rule, take a few extra minutes to check the sale and clearance items... you never know what treasures you may find.
