Simple Gift Ideas

Coloring Books: Coloring books can provide hours of fun and are a perfect way to encourage artistic expression. And why not make it educational? Kids can color while they learn about dinosaurs or historical figures like Vincent van Gogh and Frida Kahlo.

Markers: Pair your coloring book with a set of good markers. These markers are easy to use, dry quickly, and come in a wide range of colors.

Stickers: Kids can personalize their water bottles, notebooks, and laptops with this simple gift. We’ve found some history-themed sticker books that cover everything from art history to major world events. Or, if you’re feeling crafty, you can always design your own sticker and have it printed.

Keychains: Here’s another way for kids to customize their gear. Find a keychain from a favorite museum or a national park so they can remember the places they’ve been.
