Gather your science kit materials. Mix them with a birthday, Christmas, or special occasion. Record a hypothesis. And KABOOM. You’re in for a whole lot of fun. Whether you buy a science kit online or make a DIY kit at home, you’re going to make some unforgettable memories—and a mess. So don’t forget your lab coat

While modern science kits reveal hidden truths of the universe, magic kits hide ancient secrets in plain sight. What’s more fun than bamboozling Mum with a card trick or preparing a potion like Harry Potter? They’re the tricks and treats that make childhood magical. 

3. Arts and crafts: The gift of creativity

No genius scientists or wise wizard has discovered a way to gift creativity. There is no pill or potion. But arts and crafts presents come close. When you gift kids arts and crafts materials, equipment, and inspiration, they learn to be creative on their own. You can book in a crafty cafe like Crafternoon in Melbourne.

4. Movie madness: Meeting allies and enemies

Movie kids costumes

Once upon a time, a two-year-old sat completely still for 90 minutes. Unbelievable. Movies are magic. They draw children into another universe, introduce them to allies and enemies, and show them how to grow up. So head to the cinema or build a pillow-fort at home and settle in with some popcorn. And to keep the fairytale alive after the credits roll, dress up as your favourite movie character.

5. Board games: Never be bored again 

The game is set up on the dining table, your brother wants to beat you, and a pair of dice holds your fate. Children are never bored when board games beckon from your shelf. Classic board games will always be a timeless gift for kids. 

6. Video games: Virtually unbeatable
