50 Gifts for Kids

From Hands-Free Kids Sneakers to Emotional Teaching Toys

— December 22, 2022 — Life-Stages
These gifts for kids range from hands-free kids sneakers to emotional teaching toys.

When it comes to notable footwear, Nike's Dynamo Go sneaker is the first to feature Flyease for kids, "a new hands-free technology solution that will be applied to its children's footwear range." The technology features a collapsible heel design, allowing kids to "easily slip their shoes on and off, providing them with a greater sense of personal empowerment."

Other thoughtful gifts for kids include the 'iCalm Tantrum Resolution Game,’ an interactive board game that teaches young children how to understand and regulate their emotions. The game features fun alien character pieces and allows children to work through their feelings through a series of 40 scenario cards that explore a variety of feelings and ways to approach and regulate them.
