I have given my grandson a gift that deals with coding. I was nervous at first, but he picked it up even though I didn’t. That’s another gift I would get again! I bought my girls long ago an Easy Bake Oven. Like you mentioned, they loved eating what they made. The cooking kit is one I would buy again. The crystal growing kits remind me of the Chia pet. These are all great suggestions that I had to do pin so I can remember them when all the sales come around. I’m also sharing for my friends on Facebook and Twitter. Thank you for sharing!!
