This Christmas our family is going for quality over quantity. And spending time over spending lots of money. Thoughtfulness. We chose these children’s gifts because they are simple, beautiful, and don’t break the bank.

We’ve waited months for some of these, and with the supply and trucking shortages, it was not a surprise. We kept calm and waited, and now here is a Tour of Toys currently at Piece O’ Cake.

Let’s start with Sew Spectacular – Adorable Animals!

Stitch, embellish, and display 12 adorable paper animals. Everything you need to sew them comes in these kits. It’s a wonderful new take on sewing cards, makes you happy just thinking about it! Perfect for 8y and up.

Magnets are life!

Below are magnet scenes and figures, sort of like paper dolls, but BETTER! Easy to travel with, just tucked into a backpack or purse, to pull out at the right moment. Pirates or Dinosaurs or Eric Carl’s Very Hungry Caterpillar!

Magnetic Puzzles for the win! So smart for in the car, or on the living room floor. Working those fine motor skills, and problem solving. Butterflies & Birds and On The Move, below.

Also for littles, these “spotting” games are fast paced learning fun (and fun for the olders playing with them)! Below on the left, ABC Spot Me Game has 60 icon tiles and 26 abc cards; spot and grab the icon that matches the letter drawn. Simple, right? It’s pretty, sturdy, and easy to cleanup and travel with.

Below on the right, in Spottington by eeBoo take turns flipping over clue cards, and race to find the most the quickest to become the Mayor!

I spy… a pogo spring! a propulsion spiral! a happy coupler! Below, is a puzzle with extra entertainment: Upcycled Robots Puzzle!

Only a few left of Fancy Pachisi and the Solar System Puzzle.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour, have fun shopping at Piece O’ Cake!
